I Love You, America With Sarah Silverman · S2, E4

Dolores Huerta

In this day and age of heightened political unrest and deep-rooted factions in the U.S., Sarah Silverman is doing her part to bring people together... one joke at a time. In a weekly half-hour talk/variety series, the acerbic comic travels the country to meet with regular folks, aiming to show that despite our differences, we're all just the same. While there's comfort in connecting with like-minded people, Silverman feels it's crucial to develop relationships with people who may not agree with her opinions. Through honesty, humor, and a genuine interest in others, she attempts to do just that. In addition to field segments, episodes also include a monologue and studio bits in front of a focus-group audience.
