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.

lol you're probably a republican, if you feel like Noah's "schtick" was to sit on TV and shit on it's "citizens", you're right, but he was shitting on republicans which is allowed since republicans are shit people to begin with. Cope and seethe.
Noah will be missed. His take on American politics from the angle of someone growing up in SA was funny and unique.

“Republicans are shit people.”
Waiting for Dang or the mods to swoop in on this one.
Not gonna hold my breath.
Also, imagine thinking 80 million people (and many billion more in the world) are literal human shit. And simultaneously thinking you’re the smart good person in the room. Imagine that.
I never got the appeal frankly. Maybe we can listen to Noah and become more like the paradise that is South Africa.
