Anybody here watch JIM JEFFERIES SHOW on Comedy Central?

If not, you should, GREAT show.

This is the 2nd season, last year was the first.

Guess what DRASTIC difference there is between the 2 seasons?

Yep, last year they went after rump almost full time in every episode, almost.

This year, almost nothing directly on rump.

Jim is not a citizen, yet.

Do I need to fill in the blanks? Am I being paranoid?

ps

Jim is applying to be citizen, he isnt yet.

it's not like he doesn't get his progressive views and his contempt for the right-wing across.

plus, samantha bee's full frontal and the daily show with trevor noah are already a bit redundant, i'm happy to have jim jefferies cover somewhat different material.

trevor noah - south africa (green card application in progress, i think)
samantha bee - canada (u.s. citizen as of 2014)
john oliver - england (green card)
jim jefferies - australia (green card application in progress, i think)

I think the Noah and Oliver shows cast doubt on my theory, or they singled Jim out, probably not.
