“Polling a year ahead of an election is always super-accurate — and if you don’t believe me, just ask President Hillary Clinton,” Jimmy Kimmel said.
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.
The Emperor’s New (Old) Clothes
With the election a year away, a new poll found President Biden trailing Donald Trump in five of six swing states.
Jimmy Kimmel reminded viewers that “polling a year ahead of an election is always super-accurate — and if you don’t believe me, just ask President Hillary Clinton.”
“Don’t panic — it’s still too early to say Biden will definitely lose. He could absolutely die in his sleep instead.” — SARAH SILVERMAN, guest host of “The Daily Show”
“This is really scary for liberals. And I mean actually scary, not like they-took-‘Hamilton’-off-Disney-Plus scary.” — SARAH SILVERMAN
“Young voters are said to be disenchanted with Biden’s positions on climate change and Palestinian rights, and so they’re leaning towards a guy who believes in neither of those things at all.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“It’s like after ‘The Return of the Jedi,’ the people in the galaxy were like, ‘You know, this Princess Leia is kind of a dud — why don’t we give the Emperor another shot?’” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“You know what, I’m going to be honest: I like a scary poll number — puts a little fire under your tuchus. This is a wake-up call to Joe Biden. I mean, no, really: Joe, wake up!” — SARAH SILVERMAN
“A lot of it is about age. Everyone says Biden’s old — he’s old. Which, yeah, he is old, but I want to remind you: Biden’s 80, Trump is 77. They’re basically — this isn’t a choice between some old codger and a young up-and-comer. This is a choice between Mr. Burns and Mr. Magoo.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“And what makes these poll numbers particularly shocking is that the man Biden is losing to is currently on trial in every jurisdiction in America.” — SARAH SILVERMAN
The Punchiest Punchlines (Trump on Trial Edition)
“Former President Trump took the witness stand today in his civil fraud trial. He swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and then everyone just laughed and laughed.” — SETH MEYERS
“And, by the way, if I had Donald Trump under oath, I wouldn’t be wasting time asking about financial statements. This is my chance to find out the answers to every question I’ve had about him ever. Is there a Melania clone? Is there a pee tape? If you had to do a ‘Sophie’s Choice’ with one of your adult sons, would it be both?” — SARAH SILVERMAN
“It was nuts. Trump was yelling, the judge was annoyed, and the lawyers were trying to keep peace. The courtroom basically turned into everyone’s Thanksgiving.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Since whatever he’s doing is working, Trump plans to commit at least 90 more felonies.” — JIMMY FALLON
