Is there any other country that loves commentators that come and shit on it’s citizens? I can’t imagine India paying Brits big money to crap all over them, but in America we have Trevor, Piers Morgan, John Oliver.

I never got the appeal frankly. Maybe we can listen to Noah and become more like the paradise that is South Africa.

If you take legitimate criticism of your country so personally then maybe watching late night comedy shows is not for you.

This shouldn’t have much to do with the presenter’s country of birth unless this somehow clouds your own judgment.

Oliver has excellent writers and the topics he highlights are almost always worthy. Trevor had his own thing which I personally didn’t find funny or interesting, but not because he was born in SA.
