Sacha Baron Cohen Interview With Sarah Palin May Not Air On 'Who Is America?'

After former Alaskan Governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin accused Sacha Baron Cohen of duping her that he was a handicapped U.S. military veteran during an interview, Showtime president of programming Gary Levine hinted today at TCA that the segment may not even air on the British comedian’s series Who Is America?

“All I can say about that is that there are several people who have thrown themselves in front of buses that may not be heading their way,” Levine told reporters about the status of the Palin interview.

And the chief reason why the Palin interview may not make a future episode’s final cut is because Baron Cohen “is always refining” the final product because he “has a very high bar” said Levine. The Borat creator even screens episodes before audiences so that he can fine tune the series.

In early July, Palin took to Facebook and claimed that she was “a long list of American public personalities who have fallen victim to the evil, exploitative, sick ‘humor’ of the British ‘comedian’ Sacha Baron Cohen, enabled and sponsored by CBS/Showtime.

Sorry, answered my own question.

child soldiers.

As well as the "self-hating white male" - (Baron Cohen) promoting a new "state of the art" mosque being built.

The crowd of locals - Damn.

How did they not know their chain was being yanked?

The idiot in the first episode reading off "medical science" about children and their "Cardi B" system traveling along their "Wiz Khalifa", which controls their "Rita Ora" (releasing the chemical "Blink 182" ) allowing them to operate guns at an early age.


And that racist dumbass from Georgia?

WTF?

How far up your ass must your head be to not know?

He should air the Palin piece simply to piss her off.

She agreed to do it. I'm sure they got her to sign a release. Show it.

It's not as if we don't already know she's an idiot.
