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.
A Little Respect
The Respect for Marriage Act was passed in the House this week, which Trevor Noah described as Democrats “trying to learn their lesson and protect those rights before Clarence Thomas gets to them.”
“The house has officially passed a bill legalizing gay and interracial marriage, which is a great victory for 1995,” Noah joked on Wednesday.
“Everyone is still shellshocked by the Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Although this made conservatives happy because they finally made government small enough to fit inside a woman’s vagina, everyone else was pretty furious.” — TREVOR NOAH
“And people weren’t just angry at the Supreme Court. No, they were pissed at Democrats because they didn’t codify Roe v. Wade. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t said ‘codified’ this much in my entire life.” — TREVOR NOAH
“Because let’s be honest: It is really strange to be diving back into this debate that we thought was resolved in 2015, all right? This is weird — they’re like ‘We are doing it now.’ Well, what do you mean now? What’s next — we’re going to start arguing about that dress again? Is that what we are doing? Because it is over, guys — it’s over. We decided a long time ago it’s blue and black, all right? And anyone who thinks it’s while and gold is a Nazi. Yeah, I said it.” — TREVOR NOAH
“I mean I don’t even know what the argument is against gay marriage — what’s the argument? When it became legal in 2015 conservatives all said, ‘Oh, America is going to fall apart when this happens,’ and yeah, it kind of did but that’s not ’cause of gay marriage.” — TREVOR NOAH
The Punchiest Punchlines (Hot Earth Edition)
“Meanwhile, today, President Biden announced new executive actions to address the climate crisis. Whew, just in time. it’s 115 degrees outside!” — JIMMY FALLON
“Unfortunately, Biden’s speech was cut short when the teleprompter burst into flame.” — JIMMY FALLON
“So the president held a press conference today to announce new steps to combat climate change but stopped short of declaring a national emergency. Yeah, you don’t want to call a climate emergency too early — you’ve got to wait until our internal temperature is 165 degrees in the thigh. Then we’re safe to eat.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Seriously, even the climate change deniers were like, ‘Do you mind if we protest inside? It’s hot as hell out here.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“It’s so hot in the city, Times Square had a naked cowboy and a shaved Elmo.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
