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.
‘One More for the Road’
News that the low-fare carrier Spirit Airlines shut down on Saturday hit late night hosts particularly hard.
“Oh, no, I have three more weeks of shows to do,” Stephen Colbert said on Monday. “Now I won’t have Spirit Airlines jokes?”
“Quick, somebody check on Arby’s, the Spirit Airlines of shaved beef.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Spirit announced their immediate closure in a statement, saying, ‘All flights have been canceled, and customer service is no longer available,’ which, coincidentally, was also Spirit’s motto.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“And I have to say, this announcement is a particularly bitter pill for those of us who host late night talk shows. Spirit being terrible is something every person got immediately, and that’s hard to replace. We are taking applications. I’ve got my eye on you, Allegiant.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“This is the worst news for my writers since they fixed LaGuardia. If the Mets start winning, we might have to put them on a psychiatric hold.” — SETH MEYERS
“But at least Spirit died doing what they love, which is being the worst airline in the history of the world.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
The Punchiest Punchlines (R.I.P. Spirit Edition)
“Well, if you had a Spirit flight booked over the weekend, good news — you were upgraded to not having one.” — SETH MEYERS
“Spirit Airlines has abruptly ended operations, stranding countless travelers around the nation. Now if you want to punch complete strangers in the stomach, you’ve got to take a cruise.” — KAT TIMPF, guest host of “Gutfeld”
“Only Spirit could cancel all flights and tell customers not to come to the airport and also describe it as ‘an orderly wind-down.’ But, you know, compared to a normal Spirit flight, that kind of is orderly.” — SETH MEYERS
“Spirit flights, God bless them, were chaos: running down the Jetway to get a seat and overhead space was like racing through an obstacle course on ‘Wipeout.’” — SETH MEYERS
“Spirit: It’s like UFC, but in the air.” — SETH MEYERS
“When they heard, Frontier was like, ‘Oh, no, are we the worst airline now?’” — JIMMY FALLON
