Welcome to Late Night Roundup, 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.
Trucking Ahead
When asked outside of the White House last Thursday about the killing of Charlie Kirk, President Trump changed the subject to the start of construction on the new White House ballroom.
“The one thing I’m willing to concede Donald Trump knows more than I do is construction, and yet every time he gets a chance to talk about it, he sounds likes one of my kids,” Seth Meyers said on Monday. “[imitating Trump] Do you see the trucks? Look at the trucks — it’s going to be a beautiful ballroom and if you don’t believe me, just ask the trucks.’”
“Yes, he’s at the fourth stage of grief: construction.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
So, when I’m stuck on the F train in between stations and the A/C is off and people are fainting, I can turn to my fellow passengers and say, ‘Don’t worry — they used the money on a new ballroom at The White House. That’s where Eric Trump is going to have his first communion.’” — SETH MEYERS
“This is not how an adult grieves the murder of somebody he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish, OK?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
The Punchiest Punchlines (Ballroom Blitz Edition)
“In a new interview, President Trump said that the new White House ballroom will be larger than he originally described and will have a capacity of up to 900 people. And if I know Trump, that number will keep going up every time someone asks about it. By the time it’s built, there’ll be more people inside the ballroom than outside of it.” — SETH MEYERS
“And why are we building a $200 million ballroom in the White — is it possible he’s doing it intentionally so we can be mad about that instead of the Epstein list?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“By the time he’s out of office, the White House will have slot machines and a water slide.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
