We’re all stuck at home at the moment, so here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.Shots, Shots, Shots, Shots!Late-night hosts celebrated on Monday what Trevor Noah referred to as the one thing Americans have been waiting for since March: “No, not Rihanna’s album — the vaccine.”“What a moment for the country,” Jimmy Fallon said, echoing the excitement. “Right now, enthusiasm for the vaccine is somewhere between the new PS5 and the McRib.”[embedded content]“This is the most excited I’ve been to watch someone else’s doctor appointment since Evel Knievel got a routine physical over Snake River Canyon.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“But today was really special. Usually if I want to see people on TV who’ve gotten injections, I have to watch Bravo.” — JIMMY FALLON“Plus, they unveiled the brand-new post-shot sticker: ‘Crushing Covid-19, got my vaccine.’ A much better rhyme than 1885’s ‘Immune from cholera, now back to a life of squalor-a.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT“The first Covid vaccine in the U.S. has been given. It was a little less exciting when the nurse was handed a bill for 50 grand, but still.” — JIMMY FALLON“The very first dose went to a critical-care nurse in New York. Needless to say, her Tinder is blowing up.” — JAMES CORDEN“This must be what it felt like watching the moon landing. It was a historic scientific achievement that you just know a bunch of idiot jabronis are going to say was faked.” — SETH MEYERS“You know that 2020 has been weird because I’m looking at a person in a face mask getting injected and I’m thinking, ‘I cannot wait for that to be me.’” — JAMES CORDEN“I read that the vaccine needs to be stored at ultracold temperatures, around negative 100 degrees. In response, UPS workers looked at their shorts and said, ‘Yeah, it seems like more of a FedEx thing.’” — JIMMY FALLON“You realize this time next week, we’re all going to be back in the club, like, ‘Shots, shots, shots, shots — in my arm, please!’” — TREVOR NOAH“That’s right, people all across America are lining up for shots. Normally when that happens here in December, we call it SantaCon.” — JIMMY FALLONThe Punchiest Punchlines (Huge if Still True Edition)“Huge news. Just moments before tonight’s taping, the Electoral College officially certified that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election — again. He did it; he’s still the winner!” — STEPHEN COLBERT“Great, the guy hasn’t even taken office yet, but his election victory is already in its second term. We’re going to be seeing articles about Biden fatigue before Christmas.” — SETH MEYERS“This is a relief. I would hate to start another week of shows without talking about the same election results we’ve all known for the last month and a half.” — JAMES CORDEN“At this point, Joe Biden has won the election so many times, he’s our 46th through 51st president.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“This is also big news because this means after six agonizing weeks, the election is finally over. Stick a fork in the president; he’s done. Also, keep that fork handy because poking him in the butt might be the only way to get him out of the White House.” — STEPHEN COLBERTThe Bits Worth WatchingMegan Thee Stallion performed a Santa-inspired remix of her hit song “Savage” on Monday’s “Late Late Show.”What We’re Excited About on Tuesday NightAlanis Morissette will perform on Tuesday night’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”Also, Check This OutNat Wolff in the coming version of the Stephen King novel “The Stand,” which includes a new ending written by King.Credit…Robert Falconer/CBSStephen King reflects on small-screen adaptations of his horror stories, from “It” to an updated take of “The Stand.”AdvertisementContinue reading the main story More

      Trump Brought Back Michael Flynn for the Finale, Fallon Says

      by

      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. Many of us are stuck at home at the moment, so here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.Just in Time for the FinalePresident Trump pardoned his former national security adviser Michael Flynn on Wednesday, announcing the decision on Twitter.“On one hand, Flynn is thrilled,” Jimmy Fallon said. “On the other, he’s like, ‘You pardoned the turkey before me?’”[embedded content]“When people heard the name Michael Flynn, they were like, ‘Wow, they brought back a character from Season 1 for the finale — cool. That’s how you do it.’” — JIMMY FALLON“Seriously, there’s a name from the past. Even Michael Flynn was like, ‘Damn, I totally forgot about Michael Flynn.’” — JIMMY FALLON“But Thanksgiving is a perfect day to pardon Flynn. After all, it’s all about turkey.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“I can’t believe this, but I guess I should have known. Kind of suspicious about yesterday’s turkey pardon.” — STEPHEN COLBERT“The country he was being paid to represent secretly while he was supposed to be working for America. Still, it’s in keeping with tradition with the first Thanksgiving, when the pilgrims and Native Americans came together in harmony to establish a secret back channel with the Russian ambassador and then lie about it to the F.B.I. — or as they called it, maize.” — STEPHEN COLBERTThe Punchiest Punchlines (Daily Briefs Edition)“Well, that’s going to be a nice change of pace for the briefers to give a list of national security threats to a president who’s not on it.” — STEPHEN COLBERT, on Joe Biden’s receiving President Trump’s daily intelligence briefs“It’s OK, Trump doesn’t need the daily brief anymore. He gets all his intelligence from Randy Quaid’s tweets.” — JIMMY FALLON“Thanks to Trump’s daily brief, Biden will now be well versed in foreign and domestic threats and who got eliminated on ‘The Bachelorette.’” — JIMMY FALLON“Actually, it does turn out that the brief they give Biden is a little different than the one they give Trump. I’ll show you what I mean. For instance, Biden’s brief says, ‘Iran building nuclear arsenal,’ while Trump’s brief says, ‘Iran make big fireworks that go boom-boom.’” — JIMMY FALLON“Next up, Biden’s brief says, ‘Norway experiencing harsh climate change,’ while Trump’s says, ‘Soon Olaf will be a puddle.’” — JIMMY FALLON“And finally, Biden’s brief says, ‘Canada extends border restrictions with U.S.,’ while Trump’s says, ‘Americans betrayed by Beliebers.’” — JIMMY FALLONThe Bits Worth WatchingAmy Adams told Seth Meyers about trying (and failing) to learn a Billie Eilish song on the ukulele during quarantine.What We’re Excited About on Thursday NightJimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers will host Thanksgiving shows with Jerry Seinfeld and the Meyers family, respectively.Also, Check This OutMelissa McCarthy joins Tilda Swinton, Viola Davis and Denzel Washington on this list of the 25 greatest actors of the 21st century.
