John Oliver and Will Ferrell Propose New Patriotic Anthem

The duo suggest a song highlighting both the pros and cons of America for naturalization ceremonies.

John Oliver criticized the use of Lee Greenwood's 'God Bless the USA' at naturalization ceremonies, citing its political ties and inappropriate message.
Will Ferrell guest-starred on Last Week Tonight, performing a satirical song that humorously addresses America's strengths and flaws.
The proposed song includes references to American cultural icons like corn dogs and apple pie, as well as controversial issues like private prisons and fossil fuels.
Oliver, a naturalized citizen himself, emphasized the need for a song that reflects the true American experience, without glossing over difficult truths.
The segment was part of a broader episode tackling immigration issues, including the implications of mass deportation policies.
