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.
‘Lady Giuliani’
Last Thursday, President Trump said he had chosen the Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro as the interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C.
Stephen Colbert told his viewers on Monday that they might recognize Pirro from “Judge Jeanine,” where she “promoted voter-fraud claims, compared Jan. 6 rioters to Revolutionary War soldiers, and got pulled briefly from the network after making Islamophobic comments.”
“She was later reinstated after Fox realized they didn’t care.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“But, hey, it’s a jet from Qatar. We can trust them. They’re not suspect like Canada, or working to undermine us, like all of our other democratic allies in Europe.” — JON STEWART
“What? Qatar is giving us a plane that Trump gets to keep? He’s like the reverse Oprah: ‘I get a jet! And that’s it.’” — JON STEWART
“The plane in question is one of the big, old Boeing 747s worth around $400 million. Of course, that’s $400 million before you pay to check a bag.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

A new musical about Luigi Mangione inspired Bill Maher to propose other stage shows he would like to see about contentious public figures on Friday’s “Real Time.”
