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.

Jimmy Fallon celebrated 10 years of hosting “The Tonight Show” on Tuesday.

“Ten years,” Jimmy Fallon said. “It’s hard to believe, when I got the job, Joe Biden was just a fresh-faced 71-year-old.”

“That’s right, we’ve been on the air for one pandemic, two presidential elections and 300 ‘Fast and the Furious’ movies.” — JIMMY FALLON

“Of course, I want to say thank you to my wife, my kids, and, most of all, my lawyer, Michael Cohen.” — JIMMY FALLON

“Former President Trump appeared to fall asleep yesterday during Michael Cohen’s testimony for a full half-hour. Again? You know, I was excited for this trial, but it seems like the only thing we’re accomplishing is making sure Trump is well rested before the election.” — SETH MEYERS

“During his testimony, Cohen laid out tons of evidence, including tapes, emails, photos and calendar events. It’s pretty impressive — one of Trump’s lawyers might actually win a case.” — JIMMY FALLON

“Cohen’s testimony seems to prove that Trump was directly involved in paying off Stormy Daniels. For instance, yesterday, Cohen told the court that after first resisting, Trump eventually ordered him to pay Daniels $130,000, telling him, ‘Just do it.’ In response, Nike has changed their slogan to ‘Yay! Sneakers!’” — STEPHEN COLBERT

Ms. Lauryn Hill and YG Marley performed a medley of “Ex-Factor/Survival/Praise Jah In The Moonlight” on Tuesday’s “Tonight Show.”

Amy Ryan, who stars in the Apple+ series “Doubt,” will sit down with Desi Lydic on Tuesday’s “Daily Show.”
