Welcome to Late Night Roundup, 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.
Half a Century of Being House Poor
Over the weekend, President Trump proposed the creation of 50-year mortgages to make home buying more affordable.
On Tuesday’s “The Daily Show,” Josh Johnson said he didn’t mind if mortgages were even longer, “’cause you know where we’ll all be in 50 years — dead.”
“So you’re saying that after interest, a $400,000 mortgage is going to cost me $1.3 million? That is the opposite of affordability. This man is creating generational debt. They’re going to be fighting to get out of Grandma’s will. Like, grandkids will be, like, ‘I barely knew her, all right? I wouldn’t even hug her at Christmas ’cause her skin was too loose.’” — JOSH JOHNSON
“This seems like a bad idea. And if Black people could get loans, I’d be worried.” — JOSH JOHNSON
