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.
Get Out of Jail Free Plea
Sidney Powell, a former lawyer for Donald Trump, pleaded guilty in the Georgia election interference case, agreeing to testify against other defendants, possibly including the former president. Powell, who will avoid prison time, will also have to pay a $9,000 fine and write a letter of apology to the people of Georgia.
On Thursday, Seth Meyers said it was still shocking to him that “when discussing a former president, I have to say ‘one of the four criminal cases’ — and you don’t even know which one I’m talking about.”
“It could be the election interference case, the stolen documents case, the hush money case, the Georgia case, or, because the news is so insane, there could be some other criminal case you totally forgot about, like the investigation into what the hell he’s hiding under that bulky jacket. Looks like a grandpa trying to sneak a bunch of kids into an R-rated movie.” — SETH MEYERS
The Punchiest Punchlines (Just Don’t Edition)
“After failing to get elected speaker of the House twice this week, congressman Jim Jordan said that he’s not dropping out and will keep running. When Jordan said that he was running a third time, even Nike was like, ‘Just don’t.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“Yep, Jordan wants to be speaker of the house so that he doesn’t have to go back to his old job of being the villain in ‘Scooby-Doo.’” — JIMMY FALLON
“Republican congressman Carlos Giménez said yesterday that his office has received robocalls encouraging him to vote for Ohio congressman Jim Jordan. But then he remembered he actually saved Jordan’s number as ‘Scam Likely.’” — SETH MEYERS
