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.
No One Asked for This
In an interview with “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday, the first lady, Melania Trump, announced a forthcoming documentary series in which she would be answering “private questions.”
The announcement came less than a year after another documentary on Mrs. Trump, called simply “Melania,” was released to mixed reviews. “If you’re one of the people who left the theater wishing that it was two hours longer, good news!” said Desi Lydic of the Daily Show.
“Melania, I love you, but unless you’re living with Nathan Fielder in this thing, no one is asking for this.” — DESI LYDIC, referring to the absurdist comedian.
“The only thing people want to know is what you fed your kid to make him eight feet tall.” — DESI LYDIC
“I’m sorry, didn’t you just release a documentary about yourself? Sounds like somebody can’t take ‘boo’ for an answer.” — SETH MEYERS
“You don’t have a date yet? You need a more specific timeline than that. It’s a documentary, not your husband’s war.” — DESI LYDIC
The Punchiest Punchlines (Reunited Edition)
“Earlier today, Chinese president Xi Jinping arrived at the White House. The Chinese are so reverential, they quickly asked when he could lay a wreath at Joe Biden’s tomb.” — GREG GUTFELD
“It’s a rare opportunity for Trump to thank the leader of the country where his ‘God Bless the U.S.A.’ Bibles are made in person.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Xi was greeted with a flyover and a comb-over.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Trump is planning to give Xi an exclusive tour of the White House. He’s even going to let him pick one room to demolish, which is fun.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
