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 Real Hot Wives of Trump’s V.P. Picks
Late night hosts reacted to reports that former President Donald Trump is vetting four potential running mates as he attempts to regain the nation’s highest office.
Jimmy Fallon wished the hopefuls luck on Thursday, saying, “It’s like signing up to be the babysitter in ‘The Exorcist.’”
“Yeah, the chance to be Trump’s V.P. Right now, people are, like, ‘What should I wear to my interview — antlers or bigger antlers?” — JIMMY FALLON
“You’ve got to appreciate the irony of a convicted felon running a background check.” — JIMMY FALLON
“My question is, what can they possibly dig up that would be a red flag for Trump? It’s like [imitating Trump] ‘This person only committed arson — not a deal-breaker.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“One source said that Trump’s V.P. pick could be influenced by the fact that he likes people who are rich and have hot wives. Well, at least he’s taking this seriously.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Anyway, don’t be surprised when you hear him say, ‘Please welcome my new V.P., Jelly Roll!’” — JIMMY FALLON
The Punchiest Punchlines (D-Day Edition)
“Eighty years ago on this day, American, British and Canadian troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to fight the forces of good people on both sides.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“While speaking today at the 80th anniversary of D-Day, President Biden removed his aviator sunglasses and said, ‘Hitler and those with him thought democracies were weak.’ Oh, man, you know he’s mad when he takes off his shades. I would not want to be Hitler right now.” — SETH MEYERS
“And don’t forget — and this is true — Joe Biden was actually alive back when D-Day happened. And I’m pretty sure when A-Day, B-Day and C-Day happened, too.” — RONNY CHIENG
“Once again, these vets did an incredible service to their nation — they made Joe Biden look young.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Donald Trump in 2018 infamously opted not to visit the graves of American soldiers in France because he didn’t want to get his hair wet, and, also, he called them suckers and losers. That’s not a joke, even though the only thing that he ever stormed was Daniels.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
