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.
Getting an Earful
The crew of Artemis II made an appearance at the White House on Wednesday, where President Trump drew attention to the NASA administrator Jared Isaacman’s “beautiful ears” and praised his “super hearing.”
“Don’t call him out on camera!” Seth Meyers said on Thursday’s “Late Night.”
“Dude’s in the Oval Office with the president of the United States for what I’m sure is one of the most memorable milestones of his life, and Trump decides to turn it into the ‘Comedy Central Roast of This [expletive] Guy.’”
“This poor guy. Although I bet Trump actually believes he has super hearing. When Trump first met him, I guarantee he asked if he’s an X-man.” — SETH MEYERS
“Wow. He’s just standing there like ‘Good one, sir. Haven’t heard that since grade school, and I didn’t think I’d hear it again, but I did. In my 40s. From the president.’” — JOSH JOHNSON
“Trump just can’t resist being a bully. He’s sitting there, like, ‘Hey, they say in space no one can hear you scream. Except for this guy, right? He can definitely hear it. Am I right? Am I right?’” — JOSH JOHNSON
“Also let me just say to the camera operator, how dare you? Why the zoom? Who’s doing cameras for CNN now? Is it whoever used to direct ‘The Office’?” — SETH MEYERS
The Punchiest Punchlines (Thanks, Unc Edition)
“Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled to essentially gut the Voting Rights Act, and then RFK Jr. ran over and ate it.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“That’s right, the Supreme Court saw that Louisiana had two whole Black congressmen and they were like, ‘Whoa, what is this, “Showtime at the Apollo?” Let’s dial this back.’” — JOSH JOHNSON
“They claim that they’re doing it to take race out of the equation by making sure that only white people are elected to office.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“But now, thanks to the Supreme Court, Black districts are going to get erased all across the South, which is horrible for civil rights, but pretty great for all the new civil rights movies we’re going to make, you know? So this is fantastic from, like, a Denzel-only perspective.” — JOSH JOHNSON
“And one of the most brain-breaking things about this ruling is it’s literally taking power from Black people in the South, and it was voted for by a Black guy from the South. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is Black. He might not know it, but he is Black.” — JOSH JOHNSON
“How could you, of all people, vote for this, Clarence? You were like an uncle to all of us — Uncle Clarence Thomas. Uncle Thomas for short. Uncle Tom for shorter.” — JOSH JOHNSON
