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.
Reaching New Viewers
Diego Luna delivered his final monologue as the first Mexican guest host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Thursday. The actor-director thanked audience members for their support, saying he “didn’t do this for the recognition, or the money, because there’s nothing.”
“But there has been such an outpouring of support over the past few days, and last night — last night, I got the highest honor a late-night host can receive.” — DIEGO LUNA
Luna rolled clips of Fox News reacting to his guest-hosting stint, including Laura Ingraham, who said she was unfamiliar with his work and had never before watched “a ‘Jimmy Kimmel.’”
“Thank you. By the way, Jimmy, that’s my gift to you. Yeah, whatever name this woman has, I got her to finally watch your show.” — DIEGO LUNA
In another parting gift, Luna promoted Kimmel’s sidekick, Guillermo, to executive producer, with help from Charlize Theron.
