Isla Fisher … who’s quite a good actress in her own right.

I think Cohen is very talented … but the very specific shtick he does – Candid Camera style – may have a very short shelf life.

I, too, loved Borat.

I too think Cohen routine is getting old, but I have to say, I have to say “Borat” was one of the funniest movies of all time.

It’s weird to think he’s married to such a pretty, normal girl (what’s her name again?).

Insulting is a good word …

I dont’ watch much reality TV because it seems so contrived … if I wanna watch good drama the best TV shows are far superior … why suffer through grandstanding and bad acting on a reality show debacle?

I think “reality” tv is like that Hypnotist Show I saw in Las Vegas a few weekends ago. No one can tell me that the audience participation was not staged. They had to have been prepped beforehand. It was an Adults Only show and what some of those folks did onstage…give me a break. We all know that there is some before-the-show-starts interaction to give participants a direction. But making sure everyone is basically on script but “not” is insulting.

Cohen’s schtick is a fragile and repetitive one. He’s worn it out by being mean spirited and political.

As for reality shows, Ayn Rand’s book “The Fountainhead” was almost named “Secondhand Lives”, because it was about people living through what other people thought, felt and did instead of living their own lives. A perfect description of reality television.
