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.
Old News
Donald Trump had the day off from his criminal trial on Wednesday. He spent part of it criticizing Jimmy Kimmel’s hosting of the Oscars several weeks ago, though he apparently conflated him with Al Pacino, who announced a major award there.
Trump wrote, in part: “Stupid Jimmy Kimmel, who still hasn’t recovered from his horrendous performance and big ratings drop as Host of The Academy Awards, especially when he showed he suffered from TDS, commonly known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, to the entire World by reading on air my TRUTH about how bad a job he was doing that night, right before he stumbled through announcing the biggest award of all, ‘Picture of the Year.’”
“This was five weeks ago,” Kimmel said of the Oscars. “My parents don’t even care anymore!”
“‘Fascinating and mysterious’? He’s not a Chanel fragrance.” — DULCÉ SLOAN, guest host of “The Daily Show”
“And this dude is the least mysterious person in life. He tells us everything he’s thinking. I know the names of all the people he’s had sex with, I’ve heard the details of what his penis looks like. Like the only mysterious thing about him is what animal they made his wig out of.” — DULCÉ SLOAN
“There’s also Juror No. 2, who seemed surprised to find herself in this situation, telling the court: ‘I didn’t even know I was walking into this.’ OK, but at some point, there must’ve been clues: ‘Uh, honey, for some reason, this Soul Cycle has a bailiff.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT

Dulcé Sloan drank her way through a Black-owned winery tour for Wednesday’s “Daily Show.”
