Late Night (film)

Late Night is a 2019 comedy-drama film about a legendary, long-running late-night talk show host (Emma Thompson) facing declining ratings and potential cancellation. To save her job and dispel accusations of being a "woman who hates women," she hires her first and only female staff writer (Mindy Kaling) to her all-male team. Directed by Nisha Ganatra. Written by Mindy Kaling. They're giving comedy a rewrite. Katherine Newbury No. I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but... your earnestness can be very hard to be around. I need you, Molly. I don't want to go. Molly Patel And this show... this is all I have. So fuck you for giving it up. Walter Lovell The thing is... [stifled sob] you can't just take away one terrible thing you did any more than you can take away the million beautiful things that we had together. That's a million to one. If you can live with that ratio for another few years... then so can I. Other Burditt: You're a writer, so write. Daniel Tennant: [Doing stand-up] I was watching Game of Thrones. And I'm watching with my girlfriend, right? And she's like, "Oh, my God. "This is so unfair. "All the women are nude, but, like, none of the men are nude." So I whipped out my nuts. [crowd laughs] And she's like, "Oh, my God, balls!" Dialogue Molly: You love me. Katherine: No, I didn't say that. Molly: I mean, not in those words, but you... Katherine: No, I didn't say it in any of those words.
