Hes the Daniel Day-Lewis of comedy, Nevins declared.
But interestingly, Levine repeatedly hinted that Palin might not be in the show.
Does that mean Palin wont be in the show?
Sacha is very hardworking and selective in [creating] the final product, Levine replied.
Hes always refining it.
Reporters didnt buy the idea that Baron Cohen would just leave Palin on the cutting room floor.
So they asked:Is Showtime unable to include Palin because of a legal reason?
Sacha is refining stuff right up to the moment it goes on the air, Levine replied.
He screens stuff for audiences.
It all feels off the cuff but its remarkably researched.
So take all that for what you will.
By the way, what does the titleWho Is America?mean, anyway?
Whats Baron Cohen trying to say, exactly, about our country?
I dont know what hes saying about America, Nevins admitted.
Clearly, were living in a time of extremes.
