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.
It Comes in Threes
On an Air Force One flight to Japan, President Trump fueled speculation that he might try for a third term (despite the Constitution), telling reporters he’d consider it but adding, “I haven’t really thought about it.” But as Seth Meyers noted, he had “Trump 2028” hats on his desk a few weeks ago.
“You haven’t thought about it? You have merch. That’s like James Cameron saying he hasn’t thought about ‘Avatar 4.’” — SETH MEYERS
“It’s so weird to make a hat for a thing that can’t happen. Wearing a Trump 2028 hat is like wearing a hat that says, ‘Super Bowl Champion New York Jets.’” — SETH MEYERS
“Donald Trump yet again trolled the media by refusing to rule out running for an illegal third term, which you can’t do because it’s against the Constitution. And if there’s one thing we know about the man, it’s that he respects the sanctity of documents.” — SETH MEYERS, showing a photo of boxes of documents stacked haphazardly in a Mar-a-Lago bathroom
“The Constitution says you’re limited to two terms, and this is your second term, so running in 2028 is not an option. When this term is over, you can go back to sitting on your golf course like a recently divorced gargoyle.” — SETH MEYERS
“Indications are very clear he’s going to do it. Because you don’t move into a house, knock down a wing and build a 90,000 square foot ballroom for the next guy. Trump’s not a house flipper; he’s not Ellen. He’s in it for the long haul.” — JON STEWART
The Punchiest Punchlines (Property Brother Trump Edition)
“What’s the one thing that we’ve wanted in this country for as long as I can remember? An outsized ballroom.” — JON STEWART
“You know, if George Washington had known there would come a day when an American president would be so disrespected that he couldn’t even build a ballroom without filing plans first, would he even have crossed the Delaware?” — JON STEWART
“He is demolishing the East Wing of the White House, and he says he won’t stop until he finds those Epstein files.” — BILL MAHER
“No, it’s because we’re putting in a big ballroom. One of the greatest in the world, he says. Did I mention the debt has hit $38 trillion?” — BILL MAHER
“I told you we should have made him put down a security deposit.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Wait a minute: Is it possible that he’s planning to sell the White House? Fix it up and flip it on us?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“[imitating Trump] ‘Marble, the most beautiful marble.’ He talks like it’s an episode of ‘Love It or List It.’” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“So far, Trump is behaving less like a president and more like a property brother.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
