TV's imported comedians often stumble while trying to 'fix' America (Samantha Bee, etc.)

In theory, the foreign-born comedians on America's late-night comedy and satire shows are supposed to provide a fresh, outsider’s perspective on the news in their adopted homeland.

But in practice, these imported jokesters often seem to pander to their liberal audiences -- and that typically means unleashing vile attacks on the Trump administration.

These comedians include Canadian-born Samantha Bee, British-born John Oliver and James Corden, and South African-born Trevor Noah.

Out to 'fix' America

Bee, 48, who acquired U.S. citizenship in 2014, is the latest example of comedians going too far in a bid to score cheap political points.

She told American-born late-night show host Stephen Colbert last year that although she’s Canadian and can flee Trump’s America, she’s not planning to do so anytime soon.

"At any moment I could leap into the arms of Justin Trudeau," Bee said, noting that she and her husband Jason Jones -- like herself, a former “The Daily Show” correspondent who holds dual Canadian and American citizenship -- will stay in the U.S.

"We're not joking around," she said. "We chose this place and we intend to fix it."(continued)

The only thing wrong in America is that we tolerate liberals whereas they don’t, us.

These immigrants who proudly retain their Canadian citizenship are vote frauders. Peter Jennings was another one. Spent decades in America but because an American to vote against Boosh and then bragged he’s still Canadian “too”.

Listen honey, lot’s of people from a bunch of countries tried to ‘fix’’ America, Nazi Germans, Imperialist Japanese to name a couple and you know what? We're fixed them pretty good. We'll fix you too sweetheart. The only reason your unfunny ass is here is because you can't achieve the success and wealth you've made here living in that socialist shithole you ran away from.

Noah’s first(?) full-length comedy bit about coming to America was pretty funny. He played a lot on him being able to come to America to be called black. (In S. Africa he was called “mixed race.”) Anyway - it was really funny.

I’ve never bothered to listen to him after he turned anti-American.

I miss Ferguson.

Hey, Samantha, stay the F@#$ out of my country.

Years ago we made a quick trip to Montreal. I was the happiest person in the world when we WERE LEAVING.

Like my granpappy used to say that if you don’t like America there’s a boat leaving every day.

Sammy the B is a hoser? No wonder she hates President Trump and his family.

Ferguson was the only one who gets this country. Has a large join or die snake tattoo on his arm.

The commercials for Samantha Bee’s show are horrible. Who watched this bitter hag?
