There's a great Borat segment where he's eating dinner in a Mississippi country club and forces his hosts to explain that the African-American waiters aren't actually slaves.

I don't have HBO, so I have only seen Cohen in action in bits and pieces. From what I've heard, he's sort of hit or miss. But you have to appreciate his willingness to get people's faces. It's too bad we don't have Andy Kaufman around anymore.

But we do have Stewart and Colbert, thank God. After the White House Correpondent's dinner performance, Stephen Colbert is my hero.
