Jimmy Kimmel Refers to Kash Patel’s Job within the Past Tense

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.

Kash Patel is suing The Atlantic for its article, “The FBI Director Is MIA.” It alleges concerning behavior by “our soon-to-be former F.B.I. director,” as Jimmy Kimmel called him on Monday.

The article, citing more than two dozen anonymous sources, claimed that excessing drinking and unexplained absences were putting Patel’s job in jeopardy. The Atlantic said his aides once requested “breaching equipment” typically used by SWAT and hostage-rescue teams when they couldn’t reach him. (Patel and the White House have denied the claims.)

“They made those requests last year because Patel was unreachable behind locked doors,” Kimmel said.

The “Kevin” star Aubrey Plaza will appear on Tuesday’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”
