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.
Happy Unlikely Friendsgiving
President Trump and Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist who was elected mayor of New York this month, have had harsh words for each other, but they surprised almost everyone by hitting it off in a White House meeting on Friday.
Jimmy Kimmel called it a “highly unlikely Friendsgiving” in his Monday monologue, saying, “It’s the classic ‘opposites attract’ love story.”
“Most people were expecting fireworks, but they did not expect them to be the Katy Perry kind.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“What a turn of events! It was like he was giving a wedding toast to his new son-in-law.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“That is the flirtiest I’ve ever heard anyone say, ‘You can call me a fascist.’ [imitating Trump] ‘You can call me a fascist. You can call me any — I’ll be whatever you want me to be.’” — SETH MEYERS
“Seriously, though, like, what the [expletive] is happening? Either Zohran charmed Trump into embracing democratic socialism and undercutting every scare tactic the right has weaponized against him for the past six months, or the molly Trump took right before the meeting kicked in.” — SETH MEYERS
“I’ve never seen Trump this smitten before. This is a reminder: He doesn’t work with a single cool person. He is surrounded by so many charmless goons that the first time he got to hang out with someone who had a little charisma, he swooned like he was on a date with the varsity quarterback.” — SETH MEYERS
“You’d have stars in your eyes, too, if you spent every day of your life with joyless gargoyles like Stephen Miller and JD Vance, and then you met a 34-year-old social media star who rapped in a halal cart and once appeared in an actual Disney movie.” — SETH MEYERS
The Punchiest Punchlines (Donald Hearts Zohran Edition)
“He could not keep his hands off the Zohran. I mean, get a Lincoln bedroom, you two. He touched him more in that press conference than he’s touched Melania all year.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“It’s almost as if — and I know this sounds crazy — it’s almost as if Trump doesn’t have any real political convictions at all.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“The whole meeting Trump was, like, ‘How do I trade him in for Eric?’” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“When Mamdani was asked during a meeting in the Oval Office if he still believes President Trump is a fascist, Trump told Mamdani, ‘You could just say yes, it’s easier.’ Wait, so he can call you a fascist, but when I do it, you try to get my show canceled? What — what does he have that I don’t have? Youth? Charisma? Oh, both of those.” — SETH MEYERS
“When asked if he would feel comfortable living in New York City under Mamdani, President Trump said that he would. Yeah, clearly! Not only does he want to live in New York, he wants it to be bunk beds in Gracie Mansion.” — SETH MEYERS
