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.
Trump, the Tease
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he would make a big announcement in the next few days, keeping the details elusive.
On Wednesday’s “Daily Show,” Desi Lydic said, “it’s great to have a president who does teaser trailers for world events.”
“It’s like when F.D.R. said, ‘We only have one thing to fear, and I’ll tell you what it is after the break!’” — DESI LYDIC
“The conclave to pick Pope Francis only took two days, whereas the conclave to pick Pope Gregory took three years. That was because Cardinal MyPillow Guy kept saying the machines were rigged.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“We knew the conclave would only hold one vote today, around 9 p.m., Catholic standard time. We got black smoke from the ‘RoofTube,’ indicating the cardinals had not reached a consensus. In other words, ‘Hope of a pope? Nope.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Black smoke means they haven’t made a choice yet. White smoke means they’ve chosen. Green smoke means they’re getting baked as all get-out.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

Andy Samberg and John Mulaney do dramatic readings of fan fiction on Wednesday’s “Everybody’s Live.”
What We’re Excited About on Thursday Night
