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.
Keeping Things Chill
Vladimir Putin and President Trump plan to meet in Alaska on Friday.
“Yeah, Putin has come all the way to the U.S. to meet with Trump,” Jimmy Fallon said. “He was like, ‘Oh, this could’ve been a hacked email.’”
“Trump loves talking about keeping criminal foreigners out of the country, and now he’s like, [imitating Trump] ‘Vladimir Putin, come on over. Come on, stay with me if you want.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“But Putin is excited. Today he told Trump, ‘In Russia, we also have ‘Hunting Wives,’ but they chase bear with knife.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“Trump also said he believes that he has a chance at organizing a trilateral meeting with Putin and Zelensky. The last time Trump had a trilateral meeting was on Epstein Island.” — JIMMY FALLON
“If you’re wondering why Alaska, it’s the only way he’d wear a shirt.” — SETH MEYERS, referring to Putin
The Punchiest Punchlines (No More Mr. Nice Guy Edition)
“In a post yesterday on Truth Social, President Trump teased today’s White House press conference about his plans to fight crime in Washington, D.C. and said, ‘There will be no more MR. NICE GUY.’ Wait a minute — there was a nice guy? ‘[imitating Trump] Bad news, that kind-hearted, jovial man you knew is gone. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to revoke Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship.’” — SETH MEYERS
“I don’t know, man. Based on what I just heard about Washington, D.C., it’s the last place I’d build a fancy ballroom. I just heard that place is, like, worse than Bogotá.” — SETH MEYERS
“We’re going to build a beautiful ballroom: gold inlays, crystal chandeliers, Corinthian columns. Moving on, right outside these doors is a crimescape the likes of which we’ve never seen. So, needless to say, hush-hush on the gold inlays.” — SETH MEYERS, imitating Trump
“But I mean, the man’s got a point. D.C. can be a very, very dangerous place. I remember on Jan. 6, 2021, when someone told an angry mob to get their steps in by storming the Capitol, and that someone was the president.” — NICOLE BYER, guest host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live”
