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.
Bad Hat
On Thursday, late night hosts touched on Wednesday’s fatal shooting of a woman by a federal agent in Minneapolis.
Jimmy Kimmel called it “one of those nights where it’s hard to do a show like this, it’s hard to find things to laugh at.”
“Terrible things happen every day. Sad things happen, tragedies, cruelty, injustice, et cetera. And in most situations, it’s just a bad part of life. But what do you do when something terrible happens and a big group of people, including those who are running our country, tells you it didn’t? They tell you you are not seeing what you clearly see. Are you supposed to just accept it? Move on? Go about your day? What do we do?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Now, people have been watching the video over and over, breaking it down frame by frame until they end up with resting Kash Patel face. And it’s already become just one more political Rorschach test in America: Some people see a peaceful protester getting murdered, and other people are fascists. But regardless of where you stand on that, nobody was seeing what Kristi Noem saw.” — RONNY CHIENG
Hosts called out Kristi Noem’s recounting of what she called “an act of domestic terrorism” at a news conference on Wednesday, during which she wore a large cowboy hat.
“Why is Kristi Noem always in some sort of cosplay outfit?” — SETH MEYERS
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t hear you lying over your hat.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Maybe you didn’t see the video clearly because your stupid hat is blocking your vision. But thank you for weighing in, and sorry to interrupt your girls weekend in Nashville.” — RONNY CHIENG
The Punchiest Punchlines (Two Hours of Trump Edition)
“Last night, President Trump sat down with The New York Times for an interview that lasted two hours. Yep, the interview went so long, The Times almost got to ask a second question.” — JIMMY FALLON
“By the end, Trump said that he could have talked for nine more hours. The reporters were like, ‘Sorry, Melania only paid us to babysit you for two, so, take care.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“In October, Trump sued The Times for defamation. He was able to somehow put that aside for his two favorite activities: sitting and talking about himself.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“During the interview, Trump said that he would like to go to Venezuela. Yeah. Their president will be here and our president will be there. It’s fun. It’s like we’re doing a little dictator wife swap.” — JIMMY FALLON
