For many months now, Sacha Baron Cohen (of Borat, Ali G, & Bruno fame) has been secretly filming yet another prank TV show. In it he plays a ridiculous character and reacts with real people who don't know who he is.

The show, which premieres Sunday the 15th on Showtime, is called Who Is America?. Cohen's new character, Billy Wayne Ruddick Jr., PhD, seems to be focusing most of his attention on conservatives and Trump supporters.


This includes high profile Republicans like Judge Roy Moore (the disgraced Republican Senate candidate) and former Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

After discovering the interview she did with Cohen's character was, in fact, meant to mock her, Palin took to Facebook. She also told The Daily Mail what happened and called the whole experience "perverse."

Obviously, Cohen wasn't going to take that lying down!

Cohen responded in character:

Many of Cohen's fans decided to play along.



Such a quality clapback deserves some Borat love.



And the most amazing thing about Palin's comments? They're only going to help Cohen's ratings.



Many online also believe that, in this case at least, Palin laid her own trap.



No matter. The internet is getting pretty excited for the show's debut.



A fair share of snark was also thrown around...



If you want to find out what Sarah Palin told Sacha Baron Cohen on camera, tune in Sunday nights on Showtime!

Fox News host Jessica Tarlov had the perfect response to her colleague Emily Compagno after Compagno complained that Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is not a "practicing physician."

El-Sayed, an epidemiologist who campaigned on expanding healthcare access, strengthening the economy, and ending unconditional U.S. military aid to Israel, became the first progressive to win a statewide primary in a state carried by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. He is set to face former Republican Congressman Mike Rogers during next month's midterms.

Trump Ripped After Openly Lusting Over MAGA Sisters With Tone-Deaf Joke Following Cornell Sexual Assault Allegations

President Donald Trump was criticized after openly lusting after Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy and her sister Leah Campos during a Hispanic Heritage Month event that took place amid national outrage following the sexual assault allegations that have been the center of a scandal at Cornell University.

A former Cornell student known only as "Jane Doe" filed a civil lawsuit detailing an October 2024 sexual assault at the Chi Phi fraternity house and Cornell's handling of the assault after it was reported to school officials. Cornell’s chapter of Chi Phi was closed shortly afterward and remains barred from campus.

Pete Hegseth Just Threw Out A Bunch Of Absurd Slurs While Talking About Transforming The Military—And Gavin Newsom Clapped Back Hard

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after Hegseth delivered a slur-filled speech about who he's trying to bar from U.S. military service.

Speaking at U.S. Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, Hegseth claimed that the Trump administration's cultural reimagining of the nation's armed forces has been a grand success. But, as evidenced by what he told those in attendance, this "success" was only possible because the Department of Defense has made no secret of excluding certain groups.
