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.
‘Dictators With Benefits’
President Trump met with China’s leader, Xi Jinping, in Beijing on Thursday, where the latter said the United States and China should be “partners, not rivals.”
“Then Trump took it a step further and said, ‘I think of us as dictators with benefits,’” Jimmy Fallon said on “The Tonight Show.”
“Meanwhile, both leaders sat down for a two-hour meeting, and President Xi said that U.S.-China relations will be defined by stability. Yeah, because when you think of Trump, you think, stability.” — JIMMY FALLON
“And at one point, they toured Beijing’s historic Temple of Heaven. Yeah, and it’s much different than Trump’s Temple of Heaven, which is a tanning bed inside a ball pit of McNuggets.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Yep, President Xi talked about a future where China and the U.S. can work together. First, with President Trump, and eventually with President Spencer Pratt.” — JIMMY FALLON, referring to an American reality television personality.
The Punchiest Punchlines (Thucydides Trap Edition)
“During his meeting today with President Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping said that the whole world is watching their summit and added, ‘Can China and the United States overcome the Thucydides trap and create a new paradigm of major country relations?’ Then Trump asked if he could have a translator for the translator.” — SETH MEYERS
“Come on, man. You know Trump doesn’t know what that is. We’re lucky if he got ‘paradigm.’ ‘[imitating Trump] Paradigm, like, when you have two dimes.’” — SETH MEYERS
“I’m pretty sure Donald Trump doesn’t know what the Thucydides trap is, unlike the rest of us. Because obviously we know what traps are. And then you just add to that everything you know about Thucydides, which I believe is a new prescription ointment to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
