If you wanted an outsider who could effectively satirize America, you are looking for Craig Ferguson.

I think the difference is that Craig Ferguson freaking loved America, showed his enthusiasm for it all of the time, and was enthusiastic about making it better.

Listing to Trevor Noah (or more probably, his writers) was like talking to someone who could live anywhere they want but they chose to live in the place they hated the most.

John Oliver does a decent job at this while also embracing the US/UK shared history of messing up.

I dunno. I've really not enjoyed John Oliver. And to cover up the fact that I do not have sufficient evidence to make my point, here are some pictures of teacup pigs.
