Welcome to Late Night Roundup, a rundown of the previous night\u2019s highlights that lets you sleep \u2014 and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More Catholic Than the Pope<\/p>\n

Appearing at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Ga., on Tuesday, Vice President JD Vance commented on Pope Leo XIV\u2019s criticism of the U.S. bombing of Iran, saying the pontiff should \u201cbe careful when he talks about matters of theology<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stephen Colbert, a fellow Catholic, called Vance, a relatively recent convert, out on Wednesday. \u201cWow! Hey, hey, hey, JD, I know you\u2019re Catholic, but you joined in 2019, OK?\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been genuflecting since the mid-1960s.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you\u2019re out over your Catholic skis here, OK? I think it\u2019s time for you to sit down, then stand back up. Then kneel. Then stand again. Then shake hands with people around you. Then kneel a little more, then go take communion, then go back to your pew for some more kneeling, because you\u2019re not sneaking out of here after communion. Because you know who left the last supper early? Judas.\u201d \u2014 STEPHEN COLBERT<\/p>\n

The Punchiest Punchlines (Tax Day Edition)<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s April 15th. It\u2019s tax day, although you could make a case that every day since November 2024 has been taxing.\u201d \u2014 JIMMY KIMMEL<\/p>\n

\u201cBut today is officially that special time of the year when we all pitch in to pay for Melania\u2019s new plane.\u201d \u2014 JIMMY KIMMEL<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, here\u2019s a fun tax day tip: Take however much you owed in taxes this year \u2014 let\u2019s say you owed $50,000. Subtract that number from the same number \u2014 subtract $50,000 from $50,000. You know what you get? You get the amount Donald Trump paid in taxes this year.\u201d \u2014 JIMMY KIMMEL<\/p>\n

\u201cLots of stores offered tax-day deals today. Krispy Kreme had a deal today where if you buy a dozen doughnuts, you get a second dozen free. I think we can all agree that there is nothing more American than paying your taxes and then eating 24 doughnuts by yourself.\u201d \u2014 JIMMY KIMMEL<\/p>\n

The Bits Worth Watching<\/p>\n

Zoe Lister-Jones reunited with her \u201cThe Miniature Wife\u201d co-star Ronny Chieng on Wednesday\u2019s \u201cDaily Show.\u201d<\/p>\n

What We\u2019re Excited About on Thursday Night<\/p>\n

The star of Netflix\u2019s \u201cThe Hawk,\u201d Molly Shannon, will appear on Thursday\u2019s \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live.\u201d<\/p>\n
