When Jake sat down on Tuesday's show, Colbert explained that Maggie had left the missive, but she wouldn't explain what it meant. She had simply said that she was tucking her note into the chair.

"I don't know what she left you," Colbert said.

"'You're a beast' is what she wrote," Jake said, before confirming that the phrase, held meaning for the siblings.

"My sister did a show on Broadway that she was acting in," Jake said, "and it was an amazing experience for her, but also she was going through things. I went into her dressing room before opening night — one of the previews maybe — and I just wrote, 'You're a beast.'"

As if that weren't sweet enough, Jake said that they then made a habit of writing the simple sentence on each another's mirrors.

"She's written it on my mirror every opening night," he explained to Colbert and his audience.

Interestingly, Jake said he thought the new movie,The Bride!, that his sister directed is connected to the message.

"I think that's part of what her movie is about," Jake said. "And I think it's also about all of us seeing that in each other and communally going out together experiencing life, like you would here or like you would at a rock concert, or why you'd go to the movies, to go experience something together and feel that part of yourself."

Jake then quipped, "That's also something she told me to say, that she forgot to tell everybody last night," to big laughs.

Colbert then said Maggie was "directing this interview right now."

The famous brother and sister, now 45 and 48, have acted since they were children in the early '90s. Both have since been nominated for acting Oscars — him for the 2005 movieBrokeback Mountainand Maggie for 2009'sCrazy Heart. She also received a nod for co-writing 2021 movieThe Lost Daughter, which she also directed.

Her latest project isThe Bride!, a horror-romance starring Christian Bale as Frankenstein andHamnet's Jessie Buckley as the titular bride. The movie arrives in theaters Friday.

Florida public universities temporarily halt hiring foreigners on H1-B visas

By Jasper Ward

March 3 (Reuters) - Florida's public universities will temporarily halt hiring foreign faculty members using the H-1B ‌visa program, which allows employers to recruit highly skilled ‌professionals in specialized occupations.

The move comes after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis directed schools last October to crack down on what he described as "visa abuse" in higher education.

The Florida Board of Governors, which oversees the state's public universities, voted for a temporary ban that will stay ‌in effect until January ⁠5, 2027, according to the regulation posted on the board's website.

The move will only affect new ⁠employees at the 12 universities in the State University System of Florida.

Last year, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a one-time $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa applicants amid his wider crackdown on immigration in ‌the United States.

The office of DeSantis and the board of governors were not immediately available for contact.

The H-1B visa program allows foreign professionals in specialized occupations - primarily in science, technology, engineering and mathematics - to work in the U.S. It offers 65,000 visas ‌annually, with another 20,000 visas for workers with advanced degrees, approved for three to six years.

More than 600 beneficiaries were approved for H-1B visas ‌by the 12 Florida schools last year, according to data on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' website.

Last October, DeSantis said U.S. universities "were importing foreign workers on H-1B visas instead of ‌hiring Americans who are qualified and available to do the job".

The actor hosted the Feb. 22 award show, where Tourette's advocate John Davidsonhurled a racial slurwhile"Sinners"starsMichael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindowere onstage presenting an award. During the ceremony, Cummingbriefly paused the show to address Davidson's involuntary tics.

In anInstagram poston Monday, March 2, the "Traitors" star spoke about the incident and apologized to the Black and Tourette's communities.

"What should have been an evening celebrating creativity as well as diversity and inclusion turned into a trauma triggering (expletive) show," Cumming said. "I'm so sorry for all the pain Black people have felt at hearing that word echoed around the world."

"I'm so sorry the Tourettes community has been reminded of the lack of understanding and tolerance that abounds regarding their condition," he added.

Oscar hopefuls including Emma Stone ("Bugonia") are stepping out on the red carpet at the 2026 British Academy Film Awards on Sunday, Feb. 22, where "Sinners" and "Once Battle After Another" are vying for best film honors.
