Jay Leno: Seeing the funny side of nationalism

US chat show host and comedian Jay Leno was a surprise supporter for any migrant wanting a move to North America yet worried they would have difficulty fitting in with and adapting to a new culture. It seems even North American nationals are ‘off song’ when it comes to knowing their home country’s national anthem:

In a national anthem survey, 79% of Americans know the first line of the ‘Star Spangled Banner’, but only 37% of Canadians know the first line to ‘Oh Canada’, which is really pathetic as the first line of ‘Oh Canada’ is ‘Oh Canada’.
