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.
Trump’s Emotional Support Plane
On Wednesday, President Trump left the NATO summit in Turkey on his old Air Force One instead of a new Qatari-donated Boeing 747-8 after the Secret Service urged the switch as a security precaution amid hostilities with Iran, according to people briefed on the plans.
“Did they bring both Air Force Ones?” Ronny Chieng wondered on “The Daily Show.”
“Is that why there’s no gas in the world anymore? Because the president flies with an extra emotional support plane?” — RONNY CHIENG
“Also, you know what happens any time they switch planes on you, OK? Trump definitely lost his luggage. He’s calling them like, ‘Hey, did you guys find a box? It says ‘Epstein files’? Don’t open it!’” — RONNY CHIENG
“And, of course, we had to abandon the Qatari plane for security concerns. Of course that happened. This is why when it comes to the most important plane in the world, you don’t go certified pre-owned.” — RONNY CHIENG
“America should spring for a new one, and Trump should give the Qatar plane to, I don’t know, give it to Southwest. I’ll fly in it. I don’t care if they spy on me. What are you going to do, find out I’m watching my own movies on the entertainment system? I’m not ashamed! I’m great in them.” — RONNY CHIENG
The Punchiest Punchlines (Graham Platner Edition)
“Graham Platner has officially dropped out of the Senate race in Maine. But today Platner announced he is running for mayor of Epstein Island.” — KAT TIMPF, guest host of “Gutfeld”
“I mean, it is a little suspicious. It’s like being at a party where the toilet’s overflowing and all of a sudden, I’m like, ‘OK, everyone, I have to leave immediately. No one read into this, please.’” — RONNY CHIENG
“Obviously, Platner had to drop out once there was credible sexual assault allegations. I mean, at that point, the only person in Maine who might still vote for him is Susan Collins.” — RONNY CHIENG
