Television|Late Night Doesn’t Recommend Trying to Convert Your Co-Workers

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.

This Sermon Could Have Been an Email

On Monday, the Trump administration issued a reminder that federal employees’ religious expression in the workplace is protected activity, including attempts to convert co-workers.

Stephen Colbert’s mention of the memo was met with boos from his “Late Show” audience.

“Of course, converting people to your religion is always very chill. That’s why all those people died in the Spanish Gentle Suggestion.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

“No, no. Absolutely not. If you’re going to approach me at work and ask, ‘Have you heard the good news?’ it better mean there are doughnuts in the break room, otherwise, keep it moving, Zachariah.” — DESI LYDIC

“Can you imagine how humiliating it would be to have your fundamental worldview changed by Susan from accounting?” — DESI LYDIC

“I don’t even feel comfortable telling my co-worker she should get bangs.” — DESI LYDIC

The Punchiest Punchlines (Golf of America Edition)

“Trump is in Scotland right now, seeing as his favorite island destination has been shut down.” — DESI LYDIC, referring to Jeffrey Epstein’s island

“The stated purpose was to negotiate trade golf over his golf tariffs with the European golf, ’cause he went there to play golf.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

“Now, to be clear, Trump was not just wasting time playing golf, he was also wasting time profiting off golf.” — DESI LYDIC

“Just a reminder, this man is still the president of the United States. There’s a lot going on in the world, and he’s at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to promote his golf course? Is this his side hustle, or is America his side hustle?” — DESI LYDIC
