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.
Gate-side Gains
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held a press event on Monday where they promoted their idea to develop fitness stations at American airports.
“You think people want to work out in transit at the airport?” Ronny Chieng said on Tuesday’s “Daily Show.”
“Everyone at the airport is already exhausted from traveling, all right? We can’t even walk to the gate. They had to invent floors that walk for us.” — RONNY CHIENG
“Also, this is the same guy who wants us to dress up when we fly. So what, now I’m doing pull-ups in a tuxedo before I jump on a 12-hour flight to Hawaii?” — RONNY CHIENG
“They also want playgrounds for kids and more recreation areas for layovers, which yeah, OK, that’s one idea. Or, and hear me out, maybe just try to have the planes leave on time so we don’t need to come up with fun ways to hang out at the airport all day.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Remember when Elon came in and chainsawed all the air traffic controllers? How about we hire some more of those instead of the playgrounds? Then maybe we won’t need Pilates outside Chili’s To-Go.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“And if you’re wondering what working out in business clothes at an airport would look like, good news: At the end of the press conference, Duffy and RFK Jr. held a business casual pull-up competition. And the winner was none of us.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
The Punchiest Punchlines (How Cold is It? Edition)
“Well, guys, it’s been a freezing cold week so far in New York City with an Arctic blast dropping temperatures into the teens. It’s tough. You never want to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree experience shrinkage.” — JIMMY FALLON
“It was so cold in New York City this morning walking to work, I saw a Wall Street stockbroker spooning with Zohran Mamdani.” — JIMMY FALLON
“It was the kind of weather today that makes you wish you were someplace tropical, like on a boat in the Caribbean, but not near Venezuela.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Yeah, at first when Trump heard it dipped into the teens, he was like, ‘What Epstein file did they release now?’” — JIMMY FALLON
The Bits Worth Watching
Jimmy Kimmel welcomed back his “favorite guy from all of television,” David Letterman, on Tuesday’s show.
