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.
Succession in the Senate
Lindsey Graham’s younger sister, Darline Graham, was sworn in as the senator’s interim replacement on Tuesday after his sudden and unexpected death.
Michael Kosta called the Senate seat “an inheritance jackpot” on “The Daily Show.”
“Most people just get a garage full of damp boxes.” — MICHAEL KOSTA
“But the big political story today is that we officially have a replacement for Lindsey Graham in the Senate, and it’s Lindsey Graham’s sister, which is very confusing because I always thought Lindsey Graham was Lindsey Graham’s sister.” — IKE BARINHOLTZ, guest host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“If anything, she’s overqualified. I’m worried she’ll make the other senators look bad, which would be embarrassing for the ones who know where they are right now.” — MICHAEL KOSTA
“Let’s move on, because Lindsey’s sister will have her work cut out for her for the next five months, plus 36 weeks vacation time.” — MICHAEL KOSTA
The Punchiest Punchlines (Iran Again, Off Again Edition)
“And sadly, Iran is still beating Donald Trump. Yes. Last night, we got an update on the president’s Iran again, off again war.” — IKE BARINHOLTZ
“By the way, it doesn’t seem fair that Lindsey Graham pushed us into this war and we still have to fight it even after he dies. It feels like when my daughter makes me buy a really complicated Lego set, and then five minutes in, she goes to watch TV.” — MICHAEL KOSTA
“Remember when Trump said this was like a little excursion that was going to just last a few weeks? That was four months ago. And, I’ll be honest, I’m starting to regret voting for this guy three times.” — IKE BARINHOLTZ
“I still don’t understand why he even started this war. It’s [coughs] Jeffrey Epstein was his best friend [coughs] for many, many years [coughs] and he wants you to forget [coughs] how many times [coughs] he’s mentioned in the Trump-Epstein files. Sorry, sorry. I have the hantavirus.” — IKE BARINHOLTZ
“How did we end up like this? We’re a global superpower and we’re haggling over tolls with the Iranians. We’re not going to beat the Iranians at haggling — they invented it, and putting raisins on rice.” — MICHAEL KOSTA
