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.
End of An Era
Shaken by the blue wave of Democratic wins after Tuesday’s midterms, some Republicans have started to distance themselves from President Trump, including Vice President JD Vance.
“Yep, on all their Instagram pics together, he covered Trump’s face with an emoji like your friend does with their baby,” Jimmy Fallon said on Thursday.
“Following the midterms, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was reportedly considering leaving the Trump administration. It makes sense that Rubio would leave in November because next month he starts his job at Macy’s as Santa’s little helper.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Yeah, Pete Hegseth could be gone as well, Rubio might step down, and Vance is distancing himself. Wouldn’t it be ironic if the only person who stands by Trump is Melania?” — JIMMY FALLON
“This is becoming an actual crisis. If Trump’s base is abandoning him, his inner circle has got to close ranks. JD Vance, you’re Trump’s constitutionally appointed wingman — back up your boy!” — JORDAN KLEPPER
“In Iowa, a state that went for Trump three times — not only did they pick a Democrat for governor and senator, a guy named Eric Armstrong won a seat in the state legislature despite the fact that he wasn’t running. He suspended his campaign in September due to illness. He dropped out and still won. People were like, ‘You know what? We’d rather have a guy on a ventilator than the Republican candidate.’” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“The Democrats are up to 252 House seats and counting. They’ve pulled ahead in the Alaska Senate race, and they’re even on the cusp of winning a Senate seat in Mississippi. I didn’t even know Mississippi had Democrats. It’s like finding out McDonald’s serves a risotto — it just doesn’t seem right.” — JORDAN KLEPPER
“And over in Texas, Democrats flipped everything. They flipped the governor; they flipped the State House; they even flipped George Strait — he’s George Gay now.” — JORDAN KLEPPER
The Punchiest Punchlines (Can’t Touch This Edition)
“His historic Diet Coke button will be preserved for many generations to come.” — JIMMY KIMMEL, on Trump’s proposal to make the Oval Office a national monument
“He turned the Oval Office into the gift shop at the Liberace Museum, and now he wants to keep it like that forever.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“And let me tell you something, buddy. On Jan. 20, 2029, we are going to yank that crap down and throw it out faster than Melania moves back to New York.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Are we really worried that somebody is going to turn the Oval Office into a square? Who would do that, President SpongeBob?” — JIMMY KIMMEL, referring to a possible scenario Trump said he wanted to prevent.
“This is the guy also who tore down the East Wing of the White House, which is already a landmark, without asking. He’s being sued for that by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. He’s being sued by I think eight preservation and architectural organizations for his rampage at the Kennedy Center. But with the Oval Office, all of a sudden, he’s MC Hammer: ‘Can’t Touch This.’” — JIMMY KIMMEL
