Welcome to Late Night Roundup, 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 Stephen Colbert Fan Club
Stephen Colbert hosted four of his “best television friends” on Monday night’s “The Late Show.” Seth Meyers, John Oliver, and ‘Jimmies’ Kimmel and Fallon reunited with their fellow Strike Force Five podcast host for likely the last time before Colbert goes off the air on May 21.
“The five of us being here right now — obviously it’s dangerous, because we represent so much of late night,” Colbert said.
“Jon Stewart is designated survivor tonight. Someone has to survive for the president to be mad at — and do our eulogies.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
Colbert tasked the group with making a case for late night, as he said he’d been asked since cancellation. Kimmel led the group in expressing his outrage that Colbert was “being thrown off the air.”
“I will tell you when I got knocked off the air for a few days, people canceled Disney+. Why isn’t — why aren’t you people canceling Paramount+? Because you didn’t have it in the first place?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“As someone from a different area of television, I can say it was some fresh bull-[expletive].” — JOHN OLIVER
“Well, if I would make my case for late night, it’s that leaders of the free world are watching it.” — SETH MEYERS
The soon-to-be former “Late Show” host suggested that, as a consolation prize, he could now appear as guests on his friends’ shows. Kimmel said Colbert could host “Jimmy Kimmel Live” — not just in the summer, when he employs guest hosts so he can go on vacation, but “all year.” Fallon was also happy to invite Colbert on as, upon Colbert’s suggestion, his “Teri Garr; your Regis.”
“When would be helpful to you?” Colbert pressed, putting his friend on the spot.
“Take your time,” Fallon demurred, in jest. “Enjoy a little time off.”
The Punchiest Punchlines (False Idols Edition)
“He’s also engaging in some recreational idolatry, because last week, Trump celebrated a new 22-foot golden statue of himself at his Miami golf club.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Personally I’d recommend adding a couple handles to make it easier to pull down when we’re liberated by the Canadians.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“And the reviews are in, because several pro golfers were asked about the statue and had these glowing statements: ‘It’s his place. He can do whatever he wants,’ and ‘It’s big and gold.’ Damn. As compliments go, that ranks up there with, ‘You got a haircut.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT
The Bits Worth Watching
Josh Tyrangiel discussed his book “AI for Good: How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Things That Matter” on Monday’s “The Daily Show.”
What We’re Excited About on Tuesday Night
Rock duo The Black Keys will perform on Tuesday’s “Tonight Show.”
