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’s Not Normal’
The Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado gifted President Trump her Nobel Peace Prize while at the White House last week.
On Monday’s “Tonight Show,” Jimmy Fallon joked that Trump hung his new prize “on the wall right next to his McDonald’s customer of the month plaque.”
“When asked why he wanted Machado’s Nobel Prize, Trump said, ‘She offered it to me.’ Yeah, ’cause you told her to. It’s the same reason your doctors let you eat fries inside the M.R.I. I mean, it’s not normal.” — JIMMY FALLON
“While speaking to reporters last week, President Trump said that Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado gave him her Nobel Peace Prize and told him, ‘You’ve ended eight wars, and nobody deserves this prize more.’ All right, that sounds like something you said, not her. What else did she say? ‘Mr. President, the 2020 election was stolen from you and you’re looking a lot better in person.’” — SETH MEYERS
“Meanwhile, the Nobel committee said that the award still belongs to the original winner, even if they give away the medal or the prize money. Trump heard and was, like, ‘Wait, there’s prize money? Oh, Maria!’” — JIMMY FALLON
“He actually accepted a secondhand Nobel Peace Prize with someone else’s name on it. That would be like if John Oliver offered me one of his ‘Last Week Tonight’ Emmys and I accepted it. Not that he’s offered.” — SETH MEYERS
The Punchiest Punchlines (‘An Insane Thing to Say’ Edition)
“Over the weekend, Trump texted Norway’s prime minister that one of the reasons he’s trying to take over Greenland is that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize. Then a little bit later, Trump said he’s taking over Venezuela ’cause he didn’t win a Latin Grammy.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Meanwhile, Trump is going to impose new tariffs on European nations unless they agree to give up Greenland, and, in response, the European Union held an emergency meeting yesterday. Yeah. Do you know how mad Europeans have to be to work on a weekend?” — JIMMY FALLON
“Man, he really wants Greenland. He hasn’t been this interested in an island since the ’90s.” — SETH MEYERS
“First of all, I love that he’s basically saying, ‘Here’s how important Greenland is — if you had given me a shiny new medal, I would have let you have it.’ Second, ‘You didn’t give me the Nobel Peace Prize, so now I have to invade another country” is an insane thing to say.” — SETH MEYERS
