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.
All Gassed Up
President Trump appeared unconcerned when asked about surging oil and gas prices on Monday, saying that he expected them to go up before they would come down.
Seth Meyers pointed out that this was “the main thing he got elected on, the main thing he promised to fix, the main thing he bragged about: energy prices.”
“You can lie about many things in American life, but one thing you can’t lie about is gas prices. You know why? Because they’re on giant [expletive] signs on the side of the road. Everyone sees it.” — SETH MEYERS
“And honestly, we should do giant signs for the rest of our politics. There should be huge signs across the country that say ‘felony accounts’ or ‘number of times the president has fallen asleep on live TV.’” — SETH MEYERS
“We’re now entering a time when filling up your Nissan Altima is seen as ‘bougie’.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Right now, everyone with a Tesla is like ‘Well, well, well’ — and then their car exploded.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Unless Trump can get every gas station in America to hide the prices on their signs, this is going to be a problem for him in the midterms.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
The Punchiest Punchlines (A Bad Week to be a Nepo Baby Edition)
“Iran has chosen a new supreme leader. He is the son of the former supreme leader. And if you think Don Jr. didn’t get hugged enough by his dad, wait till you meet Mojtaba Khamenei.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“[imitating Trump] There’s no way it can be Khamenei’s second son. His mouth is all gums and he had to repeat kindergarten three times — no, wait, that’s my son. That’s my second son.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Iran, you could have had Kid Rockatollah.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Iranian state media reported yesterday that the second-oldest son of the deceased Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been chosen as the next supreme leader, starting a dangerous precedent of second-oldest sons taking over.” — SETH MEYERS
“So Iran just picked the former supreme leader’s son to run the country. Funeral services are scheduled for Wednesday.” — GREG GUTFELD
“Boy, did he pick the wrong week to be a nepo baby.” — BILL MAHER
