Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night’s highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.
Infernal Flame
Late-night hosts spent Wednesday processing the 2024 election results and former President Donald Trump’s sweeping win.
On “The Daily Show,” Desi Lydic lamented that “instead of breaking the glass ceiling, last night America decided to get back with her dirtbag ex.”
“Yep, it’s official. America elected its first criminal president before electing its first female president. What a day for proud felonists.” — DESI LYDIC
“We’ve had two qualified, accomplished women nominated for president, and both times they lost to the worst man in the whole country.” — DESI LYDIC
“Yup, Trump could be the first president to be under White House arrest.” — JIMMY FALLON
“All day yesterday, I was walking around proudly wearing my ‘I voted’ sticker. Today, I wore my ‘I am questioning my fundamental belief in the goodness of humanity’ sticker.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Now, as a late-night host, people often say to me, ‘Come on, part of you has got to want Trump to win because he gives you so much material to work with.’ No, no. No one tells the guy who cleans the bathroom, ‘Wow, you must love it when someone has explosive diarrhea — there’s so much material for you to work with!’” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“I guess this election wasn’t rigged. That’s weird, though, right? I mean, he said it would be rigged. He said it was being rigged while people were in line voting. Isn’t it remarkable that this time, the fix wasn’t in? Last time, the Democrats cheated. This time, we chose not to, I guess.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Donald Trump is like the emperor from ‘Star Wars.’ He’s old, he’s evil and he keeps coming back with no reasonable explanation whatsoever.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
The Punchiest Punchlines (Four More Years Edition)
“Let me tell you, that was the worst Taco Tuesday of my whole life.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Trump returning to the White House is a huge historic comeback for someone who literally never went away.” — JIMMY FALLON
“He won the popular vote by over 5 million. That can’t be explained away. The Dems can’t give their usual excuses, with more ‘but, but, buts’ than a Kardashian family reunion.” — GREG GUTFELD
“Nancy Pelosi was so enraged by Trump’s victory, her eyebrows moved to Canada.” — GREG GUTFELD
“Of course, Trump’s already super busy. First, he’s got to move all those classified documents back into the White House.” — JIMMY FALLON
“My only request to President-elect Trump is that he let me share a prison cell with Taylor Swift.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
