Like reality TV, on-the-street interviews by late-night comics are selectively edited. So who knows how many people think North Korea is in Canada or the Mideast?
“Despite the fact that North Korea dominated headlines late Tuesday night, Jimmy Kimmel’s amateur polling on Hollywood Boulevard yielded an embarrassing result: The average American has no idea where the Asian country is on a map,” said Rolling Stone.
“I’m horrible at geography,” the first woman said, pointing to Canada.
Our northern neighbors were stunned.
“As a Canadian, I hope Donald at least knows the difference before he starts bombing,” said one on Twitter.
Said another: “ok. people on jimmy kimmel guessing where North Korea is is TERRIFYING. More than one person pointed to canada/greenland.”
Even more amazing? The people shown likely signed model releases.

Next to vile @POTUS, worst US humiliation today is @jimmykimmel segment of Americans pointing to Canada when asked to ID North Korea on map.
