Lena Waithe guest hosting for Kimmel proves she deserves her own late night show

Emmy winner Lena Waithe, who you'll know from Ready Player One and Master of None, stepped up on Jimmy Kimmel Live! for a guest monologue.

Also making an appearance was John Wick: Chapter 3 star Halle Berry, who appeared at the touch of a big red button and gave Waithe a pep talk and a big ol' smooch on television -- even if it was a ploy to get her to promote her new movie.

Waithe is pretty damn good with a group of kids appearing on the show too, even if they come up with the oddest ideas for a late night show monologue.
