Ava (Janelle James) questions Janine about what it’s like to date “a poor”
JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!

Kimmel attempts to explain to his mostly Gen X audience the magnitude of millennial and Gen Z outrage regarding the ban on TikTok

RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE
“Kori King, your yellow bird was saying ‘cheap, cheap.’”
We can’t remember a time when one of RuPaul’s critiques elicited this much laughter from the queens — including from the one she was criticizing!
THE SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS
“I’ve worked hard on my numbers, especially number eight. Remember that Victorian Studies major? I had to read so much Dickens just to get that d—k in.”
Bela (Amrit Kaur) is proud of how many guys she’s slept with, even if there’s a double standard that judges her for it

This exchange between Jason (Daniel Croix Henderson) and Priscilla (Taja V. Simpson) really does beg the question: Where is Tyler Perry’s Writers Guild Award nomination?!
LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS
“You might be asking yourself, ‘Seth, why would a Pete Hegseth fan be watching your show?’ Fair point. It has come to my attention that sometimes people who do not care for me get stuck watching my show. And to those people I could just say: You have my sympathy, and I hope you get a TV set that allows you to change the channel.”

LANDMAN
“Good and bad don’t factor into this, Rebecca. Our great-grandparents built a world that runs on this s—t right here. Until it starts running on something else, we got to feed it, or the world stops. Hey, there is an alternative: You can throw your phone away and trade that Mercedes in for a bicycle or a horse and start hunting for your own food and living in a tent. But you’ll be the only one, and it won’t make a damn bit of difference. Plus: I hear the moral high ground gets real windy at night.”

“Just seems pointless to do all that when you know they’re gonna attack each other again … We could talk to them, show them there’s other ways to solve their issues.”
“That’s very sweet, and very noble, but I don’t think that a couple of rival gang members who tried to kill each other are going to be super-receptive to reason.”

Anthony (David Schwimmer) tries and fails to lead his kids during the finale’s big alien battle
ANIMAL CONTROL

“What I’m saying is one of you needs to ‘take our canine client to play with dog Jesus.’”

Gala emcee Lois (voiced by Natalie Morales) has jokes… that are not super
NIGHT COURT
“Can we not make a big deal out of it? I put my pants on one leg at a time, just like any other five-time Emmy-nominated actress with a PhD.”

Q (Anthony Keyvan) is impressed with Kitty’s (Anna Cathcart) boldness
THE ROOKIE
“You worried somebody’s gonna jump me for my milk money?”
“No, I’m worried that some hardcore criminal pissed at you for locking up his body might sneak up behind you and slit your throat. That’ll bring an abrupt ending to your ‘easy cardio.’”
“You’re a pretty intense guy, you know that?”
“What’s your point?”
Tim (Eric Winter) catches new boot Miles (Deric Augustine) walking to work
THE ROOKIE (Bonus Quote!)
“Look at you! Reminds me of the first day we met.”
