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.
A War Based on ‘Vibes’
On Wednesday, late night hosts responded to President Trump’s open-ended timeline for what his administration has referred to as major combat operations in Iran.
Jimmy Fallon called Trump’s remarks “historic” on Wednesday’s “Tonight Show,” adding, “This could be the first war ever launched based on vibes.”
“Remember the good old days when he was just demolishing the White House?” — JIMMY FALLON
“Yep, Trump is one step away from telling us his whole strategy is a Magic 8 ball.” — JIMMY FALLON
“You know when most 79-year-olds get a good feeling, it’s just their knees predicting rain.” — JIMMY FALLON
“No one seems to have a clear plan for the war or even a clear reason why we started it. And apparently, America’s military is even at risk at running out of weapons, which is one problem I never thought America would have. I thought we had an unlimited stockpile of those like spinoffs of ‘Yellowstone.’”— MICHAEL KOSTA
The Punchiest Punchlines (‘Nepotollah’ Edition)
“I read that one of the favorites to replace Iran’s supreme leader is his son. Yeah, right now it’s actually between two of his sons: Ayatollah Eric and Ayatollah Jr.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Great. Another ‘nepotollah.’ It’s sad.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Boring. Come on, dude. You’re not supposed to follow in your dad’s footsteps. Where’s your rebellious spirit? [imitating the ayatollah’s son] ‘I don’t wanna be supreme leader, Dad, I just wanna dance.’” — MICHAEL KOSTA
“Imagine your dad being the ayatollah. I mean, talk about strict.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“This guy is said to be even more of a hard-liner than his dad, which is what a lot of people are worried about. When you start bombing leaders, you end up with one who might be even worse. It’s a real, ‘I hate to say ayatollah so.’” — JIMMY KIMMEL
