Sacha Baron Cohen’s Who Is America? Tanked In The Ratings On Showtime Sunday Night, Attracting Only 327,000 Viewers, Which Landed It In 70th Place For The Day.
With all that free hype, the flood of free publicity generated by the feckless controversy surrounding Hollywood once again — yawn — targeting people on the right for ridicule, this is a humiliating crash landing for Cohen, a left-wing performer who has not produced a success in over a decade.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, a far-left entertainment outlet, Who Is America?fell way below a similarly-hyped Showtime offering, 2017’s reboot of Twin Peaks, which attracted 506,000 viewers for its premiere.
Roger Friedman reports that at 10 p.m., Cohen was “trounced” by a show called Mexico Life “that did five or six times the business. (1.9 million viewers). Something called On the Case with PZ on Discovery had 1.5 million.”
Cohen even lost to CNN, which has been cratering in the ratings. The far-left anti-Trump channel doubled Cohen with 764,000 viewers. – READ MORE
[divider][/divider]Roy Moore is threatening legal action against Sacha Baron Cohen, adding his name to the list of political figures who say they were duped into appearing on the British comedian’s new show.
The former Alabama GOP Senate hopeful said Cohen tricked him into participating in his Showtime program “Who is America?” by inviting him to receive an award for his “strong support of Israel.”
“I did not know Sacha Cohen or that a Showtime TV series was being planned to embarrass, humiliate, and mock not only Israel, but also religious conservatives such as Sarah Palin, Joe Walsh, and Dick Cheney,” Moore, 71, said in a Thursday statement.
Moore lost a December special election to now-Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.) after multiple women accused him of sexual harassment or assault, including one who says she was 16 at the time.
“I am involved in several court cases presently to defend my honor and character against vicious false political attacks by liberals like Cohen. If Showtime airs a defamatory attack on my character, I may very well be involved in another,” Moore said. “As for Mr. Cohen, whose art is trickery, deception, and dishonesty, Alabama does not respect cowards who exhibit such traits! It’s been a long time since I fought for my country in Vietnam. I’m ready to defend her again!”. – READ MORE
