Samantha Bee Named Immigrant of the Week
While some bigoted xenophobes out there would love nothing more than to line the US-Canadian border with those sonic brain-melting fences from Lost and to guard those fences with rabid genetically-engineered man-eating skunk-apes all in the name of keeping the likes of The Daily Show's Samantha Bee out of these United States, there are a few who celebrate the exotic north-of-the-border foreignness that Bee and her icy compatriots add to our culture. Case in point, the immigration web portal ILW.com has named Sam one of their Immigrants of the Week:
Canadian Samantha Bee is America's favorite fake female journalist, a title she likely won't
dispute. She's risen up the ranks and is now the senior correspondent on top-rated fake news
program The Daily Show on Comedy Central. Bee's hilarious interviews with
politicians are pretty memorable including her most recent interview with my own
Congressman, Memphis Democrat Steve Cohen. If you're smart like Congressman Cohen you go in
to the interview with a good sense of humor. The really painfully funny segments are with
the politicians who don't really know what The Daily Show is all about and try to take the
interviews seriously.
The other honorees are the equally hilarious Garo Yepremian and Hiroshi Motomura, a former NFL player and immigration law professor, respectively.
Samantha Bee's most recent Daily Show appearance can be found after the jump.
