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.
Just Like in the Movies
On Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California said that the F.B.I. had warned state officials and law enforcement to prepare for the possibility of a retaliatory Iranian drone strike on the West Coast — “which is where we all are right now,” Jimmy Kimmel reminded his audience.
“Isn’t this how ‘Ironman 3’ started?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
With the Academy Awards at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles this Sunday, Kimmel said that “the mood around the Oscars is a little bit tense this year,” and that they beefed up security as a precaution.
“We can’t handle a drone strike. We barely survived the writers’ strike here, OK?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“And I hope these Iranians realize Donald Trump wants you to bomb us. For him, that would be a win-win. He might even bomb us himself and blame it on you, OK? Just keep that in mind.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Somehow we are in a bigger mess than last month and the month before that. Our president is a disaster, and everyone around him is too scared to bring that up. I mean, we have credible threats of retaliatory drone attacks on California, and this guy today is in Kentucky reminiscing about the way Obama went down the stairs.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
The Punchiest Punchlines (Day 12 Edition)
“Well, guys, we’re now in day 12 of the war in Iran, and I read that the Trump administration has started to panic about the rising price of oil. Yep, apparently, Trump is so worried, he can barely sleep through his meetings.” — JIMMY FALLON
“You know things are bad because today Trump gave JD Vance a garden hose and asked him to siphon gas from Canada. He’s, like, ‘[imitating Trump] Just try it.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“But don’t worry, Trump has a solution to save on gas. He’s asking everyone to just drive downhill.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Trump said the high gas prices are nothing to worry about. He was, like, ‘[imitating Trump] I just heard on TV, America actually runs on Dunkin’, so, we’re going to be all right. We’re going to be OK.’” — JIMMY FALLON
