Desi Lydic: Trump Just ‘Put a Cover Charge on America'
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.
Putting a Cover Charge on America
President Donald Trump announced his new 'gold card' program on Tuesday, which would price American citizenship at $5 million.
'Oh, green card privileges plus. See, I was still getting America with ads,' Desi Lydic said on Wednesday's 'Daily Show.'
'Quick question: If I'm unhappy with America, can I cancel my subscription after seven days?' — DESI LYDIC
'Did this guy just put a cover charge on America? It's $5 million to get in, but he'll waive it if you bring in three hot girls with you.' — DESI LYDIC
'I mean, I guess it beats the old way of becoming a citizen, which was to marry Donald Trump, but still.' — DESI LYDIC
'I feel like immigrant stories are going to be a lot less inspiring in the future: 'My grandfather came to this country with nothing but $5 million and the clothes in his custom Louis Vuitton five-piece trunk set.'' — DESI LYDIC
The Punchiest Punchlines (Land of $5 Million Citizenship Edition)
'One group that Trump embraced in the last 24 hours is immigrants. Well, rich ones, because yesterday, Trump announced he's going to offer gold card visas for $5 million to rich foreigners, echoing the eternal words on the Statue of Liberty: 'Give me your tired, your poor — psych! Gimme 5 million bucks, [expletive]! We buyin' bottles in the clurb.'' — STEPHEN COLBERT
'What a good idea. I've always said our immigration system should run more like the customer rewards program at a casino in Atlantic City.' — JIMMY KIMMEL
'This is basically what he does at Mar-a-Lago. He's selling memberships to a country club, but this club is actually our country.' — JIMMY KIMMEL
'The land of the free, and by 'free,' I mean, five million bucks.' — JIMMY KIMMEL
The Bits Worth Watching
Stephen Colbert asked Wednesday night's 'Late Show' guest Guy Fieri how he thought he'd fare as a contestant on his own reality cooking competition, 'Tournament of Champions.'
What We're Excited About on Thursday Night
Bob the Drag Queen will appear on Thursday's 'After Midnight.'

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Brings A Minecraft World To Summer Game Fest
Summer Game Fest 2025 introduces a first look at Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, revealing new crossover characters and a new map. Summer Game Fest 2025 introduces a first look at Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, revealing new crossover characters and new map. The teaser shows off the classic Sonic characters in their classic racing vehicles. However, the big reveal is that Hatsune Miku, Ichiban Kasuga from Like a Dragon, and Joker from Persona 5 are joining the frey. Worlds collide from their respective games and worlds! Japanese video game director, producer, and designer, Takashi Iizuka, also revealed that Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will launch with online crossplay, so friends can play together. Iizuka jabbed at Mario Kart World, not having this feature on the new Nintendo Switch 2. The biggest hype that it ends on is the new Minecraft collab map. It showed an Ender dragon flying through the racing map. For now, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds will be coming out on all platforms, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC, on September 25, 2025. With over 70 Gadgets to choose from, there are countless ways to customize your approach to each race. Whether it's boosting your speed or carrying more items, each combination of Gadgets allows for a different playstyle, so players can strategize how they want to beat the competition and be the first to cross the finish line! Plus, the fan-favorite Extreme Gear hoverboards from Sonic Riders are back and better than ever, amping up the high-speed fun and vehicle choices. Players can customize their rides inside and out by mixing and matching parts, powers, and abilities. This means players can create tailor-made rides. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds not only transports players to tracks inspired by classic Sonic stages, but also introduces the all-new Travel Rings mechanic, whisking players away across land, sea, air, time, and even space mid-race! The twist is that whoever is in the lead gets to pick which world everyone gets transported to during the second lap, so no two races are ever quite the same. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is racing onto consoles, releasing in both Standard and Digital Deluxe editions. Grab the Digital Deluxe edition to jump into the race three days early and expand your rosters with even more racers, including characters from the hit Netflix series Sonic Prime. Plus, the Digital Deluxe edition includes the Season Pass, which is packed with bonus characters, vehicles, and new tracks inspired by other worlds and franchises. More will be revealed in the near future. Pre-orders being today! Time to start those engines, and put the pedal to the metal.

What to Watch This Weekend (June 7-8): 10 Best New Movies and Shows to Stream Now (Including a Show That'll Have You Locked in For Weeks!)
You really have to buckle in this time because this is a busy week in the world of streaming and movies! This weekend, June 7-8, we have the usual summer blockbuster action movies and returns of beloved shows, but also something new: two exciting Broadway-related events for those who are theatrically inclined (I'm looking at you, any secret Gleeks!). More par for the course, Netflix also has a juicy, highly anticipated drama, and Peacock is giving the people what they want: a show that will give you an excuse to not leave your couch for approximately six weeks (like, actually). And there's more! Here's a list of the 10 best new movies and shows to watch this weekend and where to stream them. Move aside Black Widow, we have a new trained woman assassin in the mix — and she's no superhero. Ana de Armas stars as ballerina-assassin Eve Macarro, who is hellbent on getting revenge on her father's killers in Ballerina. A spinoff of the John Wick action series, Ballerina takes place between the events of the third and fourth movie, the latter of which came out in 2023. Ballerina releases in theaters on June 6. Just as the title suggests, this movie is about the life of a man named Chuck, played by a cheery Tom Hiddleston, and takes place over three eras in his life, from childhood to adulthood. In addition to a starry cast, the film features a 7-minute dance number by Hiddleston, who told PEOPLE he found filming the scene "spontaneous and joyful." The Life of Chuck releases in theaters on June 6. If you thought this show couldn't get any crazier ... you couldn't be more wrong. Georgia is awaiting her murder trial, Ginny faces teen pregnancy and their relationship is going through its usual ups and downs. The specific details are even crazier, but we don't want to spoil! Rest assured, if you're looking for a rollercoaster ride (but not the Six Flags kind), this is the right binge for you. Watch season 3 of Ginny & Georgia on Netflix. We at PEOPLE are SAT for this show, and we highly recommend that you be too. If you're ready to commit to over a month of new episodes six days a week, then buckle in because Love Island USA is back! After a steamy sixth season, the beloved show is back for season 7 — and the drama is already piping hot. This time around, viewers will be transported to the tropical coasts of Fiji to watch hot bombshells play with each other's love lives. Watch new episodes of season 7 of Love Island USA on Peacock. Taraji P. Henson is a single mother on her last straw in Tyler Perry's Straw. The poor woman's day gets crazier and crazier as she goes from being evicted to being blamed for a bank robbery — and all she wants is to cash a check for her daughter. Now, her survival depends on trusting a sympathetic police officer (Teyana Taylor) and a soothing friend (Sherri Shepherd). Watch Straw on Netflix. If you're a longtime Housewives fan then you'll be just as nostalgic as we are that the kids of our favorite ladies are all grown up — and ready to follow in their parents' footsteps. Bringing together Housewife favorite celebrity kids like Gia Giudice and Brooks Marks, Next Gen NYC follows a group of reality TV nepo babies and their friends as they live out their 20s in New York (and yes, maybe we're secretly clamoring for an invite ... ). Watch new episodes of Next Gen NYC on Tuesdays on Bravo and next day on Peacock. People are clearly super into predators as the ninth installment in the Predators franchise was released on Hulu on June 6 — and this one is taking fans way back. Like to the Vikings and feudal Japan back, because every era in history has predators right? How fun! In all seriousness, this animated anthology jumps across three time zones, ending in World War II, and sets up how predators have been coming to Earth for centuries to prove their competency through battle. Watch Predator: Killer of Killers on Hulu. AppleTV+ loves an underdog sports story, and Stick is no different, starring Owen Wilson as Pryce 'Stick' Cahill. Stick is a former professional golfer whose career ended after he had a very public mental breakdown on the course. When he comes across an amateur teen who he's convinced has what it takes to make it, Stick is reinvigorated and ready to coach him to a championship — but it's, naturally, not as easy as it seems. Watch Stick on AppleTV+. We're ending this week's list with two exciting live events in the Broadway world! First up, the 78th Annual Tony Awards are taking place this Sunday, celebrating the best in theater. This year marks many of the nominees' Broadway debuts, including George Clooney and Nicole Scherzinger, who are up for two of the most prestigious awards of the night. Other nominees include Mia Farrow, Sadie Sink, Sarah Snook, and Jonathan Groff, while Broadway veteran Cynthia Erivo is set to host the special night. Watch the Tony Awards live at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. For the first time in Broadway history, a play will be aired live on broadcast as Clooney takes his penultimate bow in Good Night, and Good Luck. The 5-time Tony-nominated show, which is based off the 2005 movie of the same name, will end its run on Sunday, June 7 — and give fans who didn't get a chance to nab their ticket one last chance to watch it live before final curtain. Watch Good Night, and Good Luck live on CNN and and streaming live on Max. Read the original article on People
