I'm dying watching his new characters.

I miss Sasha's brand of comedy. I cant believe he can still pull it off.

I don't care if he pokes fun at the right, but if he doesn't do the same to the left then I won't watch the other episodes.


Literally the first clip and interview is him punking Bernie Sanders

The prison painter was the only segment I found funny, to be honest. I find it hard to believe that they art chick was on the level though. It was pretty out there if it was.

"I find it very difficult being cuckolded by Darwin"




Well, I didn't think so but the carpet matches the drapes. Definitely the best scene so far.

You know he reaped his revenge on me in a very brutal way... on the plus side though it gave me some red paint I used for another piece

The first clip of the stuffed animal on the gun made me laugh out loud.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s ‘Who Is America?’ Debut Pratfalls In Ratings For Showtime
quote:

Having generated a lot of chatter recently, Sacha Baron Cohen and Showtime may take The Importance of Being Earnest author’s words as some cold comfort today. They may have to. Because, for all the hoopla around the debut of Cohen’s Who Is America? series, the 10 PM premiering satire offering attracted a pretty meager viewership on July 15, at least on the small screen.

Just 327,000 sets of eyeballs tuned in to the premium cabler on Sunday night to see the Borat star spoof Senator Bernie Sanders, gun activists, Trent Lott, supporters of Donald Trump and more in the first episode of the series.

Among the key demographic of adults 18-49, Who Is America? pulled in a low 0.1 rating. That put the secretive and controversial Who Is America? in the hinterland of the 70th highest-rated original show on cable on July 15.

His ratings have never been very good. His show became a cult hit after the fact.

For most of the audience, the Right is an easy target, though.

Did anyone watch the second episode?


Much better than the first

Just saw that Nathan Fielder from Nathan for You is credited as a writer on this episode and as a consulting producer.

So many great moments in this one. I have a feeling the first episode was mostly to establish all his new characters.

He has a new 4th character here:

I think the best new character is the liberal professor guy. The last scene of episode two was great.

It felt like a live action south park episode

That's too bad about the ratings. It's must-see-T.V.

There's a lot of the Right that is easy to make fools of.

The skit with the Georgia congressman dropping his pants and trying to rub his arse on the "terrorist" while yelling about America was hilarious.

I'm guessing you're looking for outrage?

Always Sunny did it, and it was funny then, too

Showtime said not once did they mention that Cohen was a US veteran. I like how some of the people reacting to it are just saying....shite, he got me.
