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.
Surprise War Prize
During an appearance at the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Trump told reporters that he’d received a “very significant prize” from Iran, declining to detail what he referred to as “a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money.”
“Wait, you got a gift from the people you are currently at war with?” Josh Johnson said on “The Daily Show.”
“The Secret Service is going to be like, ‘Mr. President, please don’t bring that to the Situation Room.’ ‘[as Trump] But it’s expensive! And it’s ticking. I bet it’s a watch.’” — JOSH JOHNSON
“When I was at school and they made us read ‘The Odyssey,’ I couldn’t believe the Trojans fell for that Trojan horse. And now I’m watching it happen in real time.” — JOSH JOHNSON
“What kind of present did they send him? Did they give him a Vitamix?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Who would have ever guessed he could be easily manipulated by expensive gifts? Maybe they gave him a medal that says ‘world’s greatest enemy’ or something.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
The Punchiest Punchlines (Mail-in Ballot Edition)
“And he keeps saying it was brought to his attention today that we’re the only country that does mail-in vote voting. When is somebody going to step in and tell him that is not true? Thirty-four countries have mail-in voting. All the countries that have mail have mail-in voting.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“That was yesterday. Guess what he did today? That’s right, he voted by mail today for the special election in Florida. He’s unbelievable. He’s really — Donald Trump claiming he wants to protect election integrity is like Bill Cosby telling you he’ll watch your drink for you.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“That’s right. He prefers in-person cheating — preferably with a porn star, preferably after his wife gives birth.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
