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.
That’s a Lot
Even for President Trump, it was a busy night on social media: He made 160 posts (and reposts) on his Truth Social platform, according to news reports.
“The man who’s allegedly running the country banged out an onslaught of posts and reposts in a furious social media blitzkrieg that started at 7:09 p.m., went on nonstop until almost midnight,” Jimmy Kimmel said on Tuesday.
“I know I’ve said this before, but for real this time, he went completely off the rails last night.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Do you know how long you have to be on the toilet to post that much? I mean, what is he eating?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“One hundred and sixty posts in one night. This morning, Trump’s thumbs were as swollen as his ankles.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Well, I think we know where Venezuela’s cocaine has been going.” — JIMMY FALLON
“And the posts themselves were all over the place. Obama, Biden, sedition, Christmas, and you can tell he was watching Fox News, because at one point he inquired about getting a reverse mortgage on the White House.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“It’s like someone said to Trump, ‘Tell us the results of your M.R.I., without telling us the results of your M.R.I.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“It’s fine, though. I am sure being up all night didn’t affect him during today’s cabinet meeting.” — JIMMY FALLON, who then showed a clip of Trump seeming to nod off at the meeting
The Punchiest Punchlines (Sleepy Don Edition)
“Whenever his approval rating gets particularly low, he rounds everybody up for one of these cabinet meetings to be showered with praise and to make nonsensical proclamations with no pushback at all.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“OK, let’s be fair. Maybe he’s so old that he fell asleep in an afternoon meeting. Or maybe he just closed his eyes to better concentrate on filling his adult diaper.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Tell us again how sleepy Joe is, will you?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
