This show may have worked if other people had been interviewed. The people Cohen chose to make fun of;
Sarah Palin, V.P. Cheney and the fictional stereotypic Trump Voter have already been talked about, and satired for years.
Trent Lott? Really? I doubt if the average 18 to 48 demo. viewer knows or cares who Trent Lott is or used to be. Cohen’s ‘Hit List’ is full of those who while still famous, are not Top Tier influential at this time.
To have really gotten somebody’s goat, Sacha should have
tricked someone like David Hogg or the Bald headed Girl.
He should have interviewed Police Chief Scott Israel of Broward County, and had the chief show off his actual fluency in Farsi.
If Sacha had found someway to interview Obama, MadMaxine Waters,
Robert DeNiro or Stephanie Wilkinson, Co-Owner of The Red Hen, now THAT would have been worth watching.
I know most of his filming was already done before this year began, but the meaning is the same.
As is, ‘Who Is America?’ seems stuck in 2010 mentality. Somewhat dated, trite and shallow. Nothing surprising. Nothing to get up about.
As someone posted on another site, His shtick is so old even his mom won’t watch.................
