Sacha Baron Cohen’s new show Who Is America? was a major hit, one in which the comedian went undercover and interviewed prominent politicians from Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore to former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Maricopa County, Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio. Yet there is at least one politician he was unable to successfully interview, and he happens to be a high-ranking official in President Donald Trump’s administration — Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson.
In an interview with Deadline, Cohen describes how he came very close to interviewing a member of President Donald Trump’s administration.
