In a rebuttal to former Governor Palin, it would seem Cohen's character is some kind of academic

Any interviewee who thought this guy was legit looking enough to take his questions seriously should be treated just as he treated them.

Thoughts on first episode?

Felt it had more of a fake feel than his back-in-the-day HBO show (i.e. asking govt officials he meets to read from teleprompters) but I still giggled and will probably watch the rest of the limited series. And as I said above, his makeup/prosthetics are horrible.

The Cheney one wasn't as bad as originally suggested (he defended waterboarding, though that wasn't really a "trick" since it was pretty much his stated position). Mainly Cohen used his name "Dick" as part of a bunch of puns he didn't catch on to. The Spencer one was a "holy shit, how could he say/do that..." kinda interview.

The Spencer one really had some bad repercussions for him; rightfully so.

Did you see Sunday's?
It was just funny on the whole - especially the Quinceanera segment.

"Sweating like a rapist"
"Equal rights for all 24 genders"

Some of this looks fake and some of it is really funny. Its too bad he never got Trump before he was elected.

He did back on the Ali G show. Might be hard to do it again.
I deeply despise Trump but I actually think he's borderline genius with his acts of grand stupidity.

I think this show just proves how great of an entertainer this guy is.

Borat was good and funny during its time but it got old. Bruno was trash. You would think he couldnt come back.

This one is something else. He got Cheney and Roy Moore. He got one republican to resign for doing something so stupid.

That bit with the MAGA supporters is just on a whole another level of comedy. He executed that perfectly.

Cant wait for the next episode.
