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.
There’s a First Time for Everything
President Trump helped broker a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas over the weekend. On Monday, late night hosts had to give him props.
Jimmy Kimmel said Trump “finally did something positive today, and I want to give him credit for it, because I know he’s not the type to take credit for himself.”
“Yeah, there is a cease-fire, and that is very good news. And I do know that the phrase ‘very good news’ is not one you hear much these days. It’s kind of like ‘Be kind, rewind’ or ‘Starring Kevin Spacey’ or ‘Cuomosexual.’ I thought those days were gone forever.” — JOHN OLIVER
“Credit where credit is due: Donald Trump did something good. Are we still canceled?” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“All 20 Israeli hostages are home after 738 days in captivity. Almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees have been released. And while we are only in the first phase of what will undoubtedly be a long and tricky process, the fact is the bombing has stopped, the hostages have been released, and Trump deserves some of the praise for that. And so, I know it sounds crazy to say, but good work on that one, President Trump. Now, maybe you can not invade Portland. Just an idea. I mean, while you’re on a roll. ” — JIMMY KIMMEL
The Punchiest Punchlines (Hell Hath Frozen Over Edition)
“So peace is breaking out in the Middle East, and in a part of the world where peace is as common as pulled pork.” — GREG GUTFELD
“So President Trump landed in Israel, where he facilitated the release of the Israeli hostages. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris landed in Margaritaville, where she helped with the release of 40 cans of White Claw.” — GREG GUTFELD
“Hillary Clinton commended Trump for the peace deal in Gaza. I would say that hell is frozen over, but Hillary is not due there for another six to eight years.” — GREG GUTFELD
“Apparently, it’s due to the guy who the narrative creators deem Hitler. Maybe they have Adolf confused with Gandhi.” — GREG GUTFELD
The Bits Worth Watching
The journalist Kara Swisher and the comedian Zainab Johnson joined the “Have I Got News For You” panel to discuss how Trump supporters are coping with his not winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
