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.
Keeping Up With the Drones
Mysterious drones being flown over New Jersey had late-night hosts puzzled on Monday.
“Yep, nobody knows where they come from or why they exist,” Jimmy Fallon said. “It’s basically air crypto.”
“When asked about the drones, Marjorie Taylor Greene said the government is in control of them. I want to believe her, but she said the same thing about the weather, the Super Bowl and the return of the McRib.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Yeah, everyone’s annoyed about the drones. Right now, the Chinese spy balloons are like, ‘Stay in your lane, girl.’” — JIMMY FALLON
The Punchiest Punchlines (Droning On Edition)
“When last we met, these ominous sky visitors were being reported all over New Jersey. but since then, the drones have done what everyone in Jersey does: go somewhere else.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Because as of today, the drone armada has also been spotted in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ohio, which can mean only one thing: The drones are visiting colleges.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“With so many unrelated drone sightings, Americans have reasonable questions: Where are they coming from? What are they doing up there? And will they interfere with the chemtrails that are turning our livestock bi-curious?” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Now I’ll admit: I didn’t pay much attention to this story at first because it’s New Jersey, and weird [expletive] is always happening over there. I mean, if they were still making new ‘Sopranos’ episode, Tony would definitely be flying drones.” — SETH MEYERS
“President Biden addressed the drone issue earlier today. I’m just [expletive] with you — he was nowhere to be seen.” — SETH MEYERS
“We’ll have more on this story as we continue to learn nothing about it.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
