Cohen first teased the project on July 4, releasing a cryptic video informing viewers that “He’s back as you’ve never seen him before.” The video included footage of Donald Trump insulting the British comedian and ended with the logo of the now-defunct Trump University.


Who Is America? marks Baron Cohen’s first series television project since Da Ali G Show. That series prompted a spin-off movie as well as Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan and Brüno.
