NextImg:Kamala Harris’s Post-Election TV Diet: ‘Lots of Cooking Shows’

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.

Questions? Read the Book.

Kamala Harris appeared on Thursday’s “Late Show,” giving Stephen Colbert her first interview since she lost the presidential election to Donald Trump in November.

“First of all, you look rested,” Colbert told the ex-vice president, who was promoting her forthcoming campaign memoir. Harris said she was, and then asked Colbert how he was doing, a nod to “Late Show’s” recently announced cancellation. “I’ll get plenty of rest in June,” he said.

Colbert had questions about the 2024 campaign, many of which Harris responded to by saying that the answers would be in her book, “107 Days.”

“There’s a lot of personal stuff in the book. I mean, poor Dougie,” Harris said with a laugh, referring to her husband, Douglas Emhoff.

“You’ve blown the lid off of Doug? What’s going on?” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“For example, my birthday’s in October. The election’s in November. You see where I’m going? And Dougie kind of dropped the ball on my big birthday.” — KAMALA HARRIS
“He didn’t get you anything?” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Oh, you have to read the book.” — KAMALA HARRIS

Colbert gave Harris credit for predicting what Trump would do if elected.

“You said he would prosecute his political enemies, he would cut Medicaid and Medicare. He would ignore court orders, he would alienate our allies, he would give massive tax cuts to the rich. And I know you’re not here to say, ‘I told you so,’ but would you like to?” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Let me just say this — you are correct that I did predict a lot of it. But Stephen, what I did not predict was the capitulation. I didn’t predict that.” — KAMALA HARRIS

Harris said it took “months” before she could watch the news again after her loss. “You know, I’m just not into self-mutilation,” she told Colbert. Instead, she watched “lots of cooking shows.”

The Punchiest Punchlines (Presidential Fitness Test Edition)

“President Trump signed an executive order today to revive the Presidential Fitness Test for public schools, and then immediately had to lie down for a bit.” — SETH MEYERS

“Yeah, which means now children will have to be as fit as President Trump.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

“Trump’s very into fitness. In fact, right now he’s trying to run from the Epstein story as fast as he can.” — JIMMY FALLON

“Yeah, the Presidential Fitness Test is back. Trump was like, ‘It’s time to bring back my favorite sport: public humiliation.’” — JIMMY FALLON

”Apparently, it changed in 2012 during the Obama administration to focus more on individual health than athletic feats. Boo! Make the children perform athletic feats for our amusement! I had to do it when I was in school, and so did all of you — and I think every child should have a chance to struggle through timed situps while the meanest boy in school sits on their feet and farts.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

“Yeah, Trump says he wants to ensure America’s future generations are strong, healthy and successful. At least, I think that’s what he said. He was gnawing on a K.F.C. 12-piece at the time.” — JIMMY FALLON
