Preview

Despite only about a week of marketing, Who is America? premiered with plenty of high expectations due to Baron Cohen’s history of social commentary via prank interviews with characters such as Ali G and Borat.

The premiere was met with mixed reviews. Three of the four segments–a right-wing character interviewing Bernie Sanders, a left-wing character having dinner with two Trump supporters, and an ex-con presenting his crappy art, quite literally, to a gallery consultant–didn’t seem to move the needle all that much.

But the last segment, in which Israeli anti-terrorist officer and gun-lover Col. Erran Morad (played by Cohen) gets Philip Van Cleave and other gun-rights activists to support a program to arm toddlers, was especially popular, creating tons of buzz.

Overall, the premiere drew a mere 0.1 rating (327,000 viewers) in the adults 18-49 demographic, but that doesn’t quite tell the entire story. Adding in encore showings and streaming numbers (per Showtime, Who is America? drove the highest number of sign-ups of their streaming service in one day for 2018), that number surely jumps to over one million. Additionally, you have the significant social media impact. Twitter was abuzz about the show Sunday night, while the above clip on Showtime’s YouTube account has received more than 12 million views.

There aren’t many details about the second episode, but if the premiere was any indication, Cohen Baron won’t be holding back.
