Welcome to Best of Late Night, 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.
Not-So-Happy Meal
Over the weekend, President-elect Donald Trump shared a photo from his private plane, showing him eating McDonald’s with Elon Musk, Donald Trump Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Speaker Mike Johnson peeked into the frame.
“Only Donald Trump would force his new health czar to eat McDonald’s,” Jimmy Kimmel said, referring to Kennedy. “That’s what he does, these are subservience tests.”
“This is like the Last Supper, but everyone is Judas.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“I love that they essentially hazed R.F.K. Jr., who rails against processed food and has called fast food poison, by not only making him eat McDonald’s but forcing him to take a picture while doing it.” — SETH MEYERS
“You can tell it’s McDonald’s, because that is a grimace.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Look at R.F.K. Jr. He’s holding that McDonald’s the way you hold a bag of weed you found in your kid’s room.” — SETH MEYERS
“That is the most powerful assemblage of junk food since the Yalta Conference party sub.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Look, I know Trump has been accused and found guilty of many crimes, but certainly none worse than ‘brings Filet-O-Fish on a plane.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT
‘There’s No Monopoly on Stupid’
On “Real Time,” Bill Maher chided Democrats for losing touch with the average American, saying the party had become “a ‘Portlandia’ sketch.”
“Maybe take the clothespins off your noses and actually converse with the other half of the country. Stop screaming at people to get with the program and instead make a program worth getting with.” — BILL MAHER
“You love to speak truth to power, and we always should, but you have completely lost the ability to speak truth to [expletive].” — BILL MAHER
“You just lost a crazy contest to an actual crazy person.” — BILL MAHER
“Even the one concession I’ve heard a few people on the losing side offer — that liberals should stop saying that Trump voters are stupid — comes with a kind of unspoken parentheses: ‘We know they are stupid, just don’t say it.’ Yeah, I got bad news for you: They don’t have a monopoly on stupid.” — BILL MAHER
Greg Gutfeld had similar thoughts about the Democrats on Monday.
“Rather than making policies that benefited Americans, they slid mindlessly into the toxic bath of identity politics. This wasn’t thinking, it was the cessation of thought. Like when you’re in a coma or watching ‘Fox & Friends.’” — GREG GUTFELD
“It’s a question echoing throughout the liberal-verse: Why don’t we have a Rogan? Where’s our Elon? Well, it’s simple — you had Rogan. You had Elon. You even had me in college. But who didn’t? Back then, all it took was a lukewarm Zima.” — GREG GUTFELD
The Punchiest Punchlines (Fight Night Edition)
“Ahead of Friday’s fight between YouTuber Jake Paul and boxing legend Mike Tyson, Netflix streamed a few seconds of Tyson’s bare butt. Even worse, a full hour of Jake Paul’s face.” — SETH MEYERS
“Well, you know, if the boxing doesn’t work out, he could always get into sumo wrestling.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“According to Netflix, more than 60 million households streamed or attempted to stream what is being called the most watched instance of elder abuse since Joe Biden debated Donald Trump.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Mike Tyson has changed, probably for the better, but I feel like deep down, a lot of us were hoping if Tyson knocked this kid out, the universe would correct itself somehow. It didn’t.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

The panel on Saturday’s “Have I Got News For You” challenged Representative Tim Burchett’s support of Trump’s cabinet picks Matt Gaetz and R.F.K. Jr.
