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 as Trash Man
On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump spoke to reporters from inside a garbage truck while wearing an orange safety vest.
Jimmy Kimmel called Trump “a cosplay garbage man” on Thursday, joking that “the garbage is driving the truck.”
“That vest will come in handy when he’s on the side of the highway picking up trash with the other inmates.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“And then this lunatic decides to stay in the garbage costume for the whole duration of his speech, like a 4-year-old who wants to wear his costume to school.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“I have to say; if there is a single image that we will look back on and say, this defines what America was going through in 2024, I think it will be the Republican nominee for president dancing to the song ‘Y.M.C.A.’ in a garbage man costume.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Donald Trump could never make it as a sanitation worker. It’s a tough job with actual stakes, genuine responsibilities, and no amount of cosplaying can make up for the fact that he’d be really bad at it. He wouldn’t last a day. If Trump was a sanitation worker in New York City, we’d have garbage piled higher than the Empire State Building, as opposed to what we currently have, which is only half as tall.” — SETH MEYERS
The Punchiest Punchlines (Last-Minute Costume Idea Edition)
“And right at the buzzer, a new Halloween costume has emerged.” — JIMMY FALLON
“First he dressed up as a McDonald’s worker, then a garbage man. He dances to ‘Y.M.C.A.’ It’s like he’s trying to create his own version of the Village People.” — JIMMY FALLON
“I don’t get it — is he trying to show us every job he’s not qualified for?” — SETH MEYERS
“[imitating Trump] I hope you enjoy this garbage truck, by which I mean my campaign. It has been a true honor and a bone-chilling dumpster fire.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“You want to know what I really think of your garbage truck? I think it’s awesome, and I think you should stay there. I think you should drop out of the race and host a reality show where you try out different jobs while wearing exactly one piece of that job’s uniform.” — SETH MEYERS
“OK, so you dressed up as a garbage man because you say Biden called your supporters garbage, and you’re saying they’re not garbage, but you’re taking out the garbage, which is someone else, but you won’t tell us who it is? And also, no one should call anyone ‘garbage,’ but you just did, because you’re the garbage man? So, in other words, the perfect metaphor.” — RONNY CHIENG

The stand-up comedian Mohanad Elshieky joked about the perils of having an accent while working in customer service on Thursday’s “Late Show.”
