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.
Once in a Blue Moon
Democrats won big in the midterm elections on Tuesday, taking control of the House and the Senate — “and just to rub it in, they threw a huge victory party in Trump’s ballroom,” Jimmy Fallon said on Wednesday’s “Tonight Show.”
“The defeats were so bad, this morning Trump didn’t even want to get out of his tanning bed.” — JIMMY FALLON
“There’s going to be so many Republicans leaving the Capitol it will look like a reverse January 6.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Experts say it was the roughest night for a Republican president since Mary Todd Lincoln bought theater tickets.” — GREG GUTFELD
“But yes, Democrats weren’t just cleaning up in blue states — they were winning seats in some of the most conservative places in America. You remember that town in ‘Deliverance’? Last night, they elected a gay Black socialist.” — MICHAEL KOSTA
“Yes, typically the president’s party loses some ground in the midterms. You guys lost Kansas. You lost Texas. You couldn’t even get South Carolina to vote for Lindsey Graham’s sister-widow.” — MICHAEL KOSTA
“You know it’s a tough night for Republicans when they lose the Waffle House states, you know?” — JIMMY FALLON
“Kansas elected their first Democratic senator since 1932. 1932. To put that in perspective, that was seven years before Dorothy and Toto got to Kansas.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Last night, America treated Donald Trump like he was the East Wing of the White House.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
The Punchiest Punchlines (How Blue Was It? Edition)
“Well, guys, President Trump couldn’t do it with the Reflecting Pool, but last night he turned the whole country blue.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Yep, it was a total blue wave caused by an orange president.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Ahh! It’s so blue! The Blue Man Group and Bluey snorted the blue meth from ‘Breaking Bad’ while singing, ‘I’m blue, da ba dee, da boo da!’ The point is, it was blue. Yes, last night was a blue-nami, a blue-bonic plague. A blue-clear bomb resulting in blue-billion human blasualties.” — MICHAEL KOSTA
“Whatever you want to call it, everyone agreed on what color it was. Even Donald Trump.” — SETH MEYERS
