Welcome to Late Night Roundup, your source for the best bits from last night’s comedy shows, ensuring you get your laughs without missing any sleep. Speaking of what to watch, here are the top 50 movies on Netflix right now.
The “Ballroom Blitz” Controversy
Recently, former President Trump hosted an exclusive dinner for the affluent individuals who contributed funds to his ambitious 90,000-square-foot ballroom project at the White House. This private event has sparked considerable debate regarding potential conflicts of interest.
On his show, Jimmy Kimmel sarcastically described the gathering as “a fund-raising dinner for his big, beautiful $200 million wedding venue.”
Kimmel quipped, “All the top people from Google, Apple, Amazon, you name it, lined up to eat beef stroganoff and kiss his ass, just as our founding fathers intended — to build a ballroom. It’s like a demented version of ‘Cinderella’ where the pumpkin is in charge.”
He added, “The reason we don’t have one already is because we’ve never had a ‘real estate person’ as president, but now we have Blob Villa running the show.”
Stephen Colbert humorously reacted to the news, stating, “What? Every tech company gave Trump money? Well, fine. I don’t need those companies. I’ll do my internet searches the old-fashioned way: with a landline.”
Kimmel also highlighted the irony, noting, “The fact that the government is shut down because Republicans don’t want to spend money on health care makes no difference to him, I guess.”
The Sharpest Punchlines: “No Kings” Edition
Jimmy Kimmel announced an upcoming “No Kings rally” protest, humorously contrasting media portrayals: “The demonstrations will be peaceful, unless you’re watching Fox News, in which case they will be violent, vicious antifa riots led by savages who ‘hate America.'”
He continued, “So, just to be clear, peacefully protesting a wannabe dictator means you hate America. Attacking the Capitol to overturn an election? Patriotic walking tour.” Kimmel underscored the point: “There is nothing more American than a political protest. The American Revolution was a No Kings rally.”
Greg Gutfeld weighed in: “This Saturday, nearly 2,700 No Kings protest events are planned around the country, which is funny because if we had a king, there would be no protests.”
