Stephen Colbert Chides Trump for Firing the Messenger (Again)
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. A Formerly Thankless Job The government said on Friday that the labor market had weakened as employers pulled back on hiring. One news outlet said the numbers were the worst since the pandemic.

'That explains why he's growing sourdough starter around his ankles.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'When he heard about this employment crisis, Trump sprang into action and fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. No! No, you fool! Now there's one less job! Don't you see? You fell into her trap.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'But it makes sense.

I happen to know it's honey mustard.'' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'Trump said that he'll announce a new commissioner in the next few days. So far, the front-runner is Sydney Sweeney, but we'll see where we land.' — JIMMY FALLON The Punchiest Punchlines (Ballroom Edition) 'President Trump unveiled the plans last week for a new $200 million ballroom he's planning to add to the White House. Hmm, it doesn't sound like he's planning on leaving in three years. Back when I was renting apartments, I never even painted.' — SETH MEYERS 'Now, presidents are allowed to do a little renovation, of course. The Obamas added a vegetable garden. Truman and Nixon both added bowling lanes, and Jimmy Carter famously added a sex dungeon.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'That's right, President Trump spoke about his proposal to build a ballroom on the White House grounds next to the Executive Mansion and added, 'It'll be near it but not touching it' So kind of like him and Melania.' — SETH MEYERS The Bits Worth Watching John Oliver demystified deferred prosecution agreements and how they're helping corporations get away with misconduct on Sunday's 'Last Week Tonight.' What We're Excited About on Tuesday Night Brittany Snow, star of 'The Hunting Wives,' will appear on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers.'

NEW YORK — A public document filed by a company that just hired President Donald Trump's two oldest sons as advisers included a sentence early Monday that said it hoped to benefit from grants and other incentives from the federal government, which their father happens to lead. But when The Associated Press asked the Trump family business about the apparent conflict of interest, the document was revised and the line taken out.
