REVIEW: Silverman’s ‘I Love You, America’ addresses polarizing politics in late-night format

Avery Carlisle September 9, 2018
"I Love You, America,” hosted by comedian Sarah Silverman, follows the standard structure of a 30-minute, late-night show — it starts with a cold open and then moves into a monologue, followed by two pre-recorded segments. However, the best parts of the show differ from the traditional, comedic format: they are serious, empathetic and not particularly funny. In the first episode of the second season, Sarah Silverman begins her open by describing the “dumb news” that she’s reading on her phone, specifically United States Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s hearings and how they will determine his future in the Supreme Court.
