Last night's had some awesome moments in the terrorists in the workplace segment.
The rest were quite average.

Remember that these people are adults who are sharp enough to be in active government leadership positions in the USA. You'll feel less bad for them when you research the things they've said and done over their careers.

I like it but it seems like quite a few are either "make crude puns that older politicians fail to notice" (Cheney, Arpaio) or "annoy/insult interviewees until they end the interview" (Sanders, Koppel, the black rapper/white conservative, Moore).

Man, last episode was pretty epic.

He made Arpaio say he will give Trump oral sex. GODDAMN. Face With Tears Of Joy

That finnish youtube gun nut character is genius. He even put the youtube background music that every kid channel use. Face With Tears Of Joy

Any politician that is actually duped by this should have no capability to run any sort of government.

It's the question I keep asking myself watching this show - how are people going along with antics being asked of them??
The makeup and prosthetics Sasha is wearing are so thick and obvious, I would be out of there in a second.
Oh boy, Buffalo testicles!

I don't find it's particularly obvious, especially since men wearing makeup is common when appearing on television.

Makeup yes, prosthetics, no. One of his characters reminds me of Austin Powers

He'll come back with something else. He's dealt with this sort of legal nonsense before - during his Ali G days - now because they're 'powerful rich politicians' he should be concerned?
Keep it up!

It was good but it's the type of thing that could only go on so long; if you look at the later episodes it seems like he didn't "get" any of the politicians; they pretty much all disagreed with the statements he made and refuted them.
