“We’re just going to test ourselves for antigens? Is that before or after we mess up the directions on an Easy Mac?” Noah 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.
Waiting for the Mail
The Biden administration’s new website allowing Americans to order free at-home Covid tests quietly went live on Tuesday. Tests will ship within seven to 12 days.
“It’s great that tests are finally going to be available to everyone — but seven to 12 days?” Trevor Noah said. “You don’t think that’s a little too long in a pandemic? I mean, every day is precious. Every single day is precious in a pandemic. If anyone should know that, it’s Joe Biden.”
“You know, I can’t help but think if America took a military approach to Covid, this testing thing would be solved like that. [snaps] Because there’s no delays when it comes to the American military. America doesn’t need bombs and then start building them — America always has bombs ready to go.” — TREVOR NOAH
“Although, to be honest with you, I don’t know if I trust at-home tests. We’re just going to test ourselves for antigens? Is that before or after we mess up the directions on an Easy Mac?” — TREVOR NOAH
“Free Covid tests by mail. What a great idea if this was a year ago.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“You know, Biden’s original plan was you send in a bunch of cereal box tops, but that didn’t work.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“You get four tests per household, which is great news for people who live alone and literally no one else.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Because what if you have a family of five? Do you start ranking your children?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
The Punchiest Punchlines (Vaccine Influencer Edition)
“We’ve seen a lot of people making a case for vaccination, from Dr. Fauci to Olivia Rodrigo to Arnold Schwarzenegger — all of them. But my opinion is that no living person has made a more compelling argument to get the shot than this news commentator from Mexico. His name is Leonardo Schwebel. He cleared all possible language barriers to make his case.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Mucho bueno! Well done, Leonardo Schwebel. I may make that my ring tone.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“It’s nice to know that whatever country you’re from, we all speak the universal language of [expletive] this [expletive].” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Yes! You know that’s how Dr. Fauci feels on the inside.” — JIMMY FALLON
