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.
Almost Half
Nine weeks before Election Day, late-night hosts on Tuesday celebrated Kamala Harris’s lead in the polls.
“Forty-eight percent,” Stephen Colbert said, referring to a recent USA Today survey in which Harris led Donald Trump, 48 percent to 43 percent. “That really restores my faith in almost half of humanity.”
“Harris is particularly popular with women, while Trump is ahead among men, leading some to call this ‘the boys versus girls election.’ And, remember, many Trump voters are not vaccinated against cooties.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“A new poll found that Harris has widened her lead among women to 13 points. Thirteen. Trump heard the news and was like, ‘Was it everything I said?’” — JIMMY FALLON
“Today, Trump’s aides were like, ‘You need to reach out to women.’ Then a few seconds later, they’re like, ‘No, never mind! Just forget what we said and go back to eating the hot dogs.” — JIMMY FALLON
The Punchiest Punchlines (Hot Dog Edition)
“I don’t know if you saw it on Netflix, but I came in third in the hot dog eating contest.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Speaking of food, in a Netflix Labor Day special, Joey Chestnut beat Kobayashi in a hot-dog eating contest by eating a record 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Eighty-three hot dogs in 10 minutes — that’s basically me at every wedding when they pass around the pigs in a blanket.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Yeah, he put down 83 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Netflix was, like, ‘If you like this, you might enjoy “Bridgerton.”’” — JIMMY FALLON

The pop artist Billie Eilish shared a clip of her working on the song “Birds of a Feather” with her brother and collaborator, Finneas O’Connell, on Tuesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
