Who is America: Sacha Baron Cohen uses the 'paedophile detector' on Roy Moore

Last week on Showtime's incendiary Who Is America? it was defeated Republican US senate candidate Roy Moore's turn for humiliation, falling afoul of Erran Morad's 'paedophile detection kit'.

Dr. Nira Cain-N'Degeocello tried to claim that it is offensive to call black people 'black' meanwhile, but the episode belonged to Sacha Baron Cohen's Morad character, who, in a sensationally absurd segment, got a middle-aged white Trump voter to dress as a 15-year-old Hispanic girl celebrating her Quinceanera, ostensibly in the hope of luring "bad hombres" in with the promise of 'free drugs' and 'young pussy' before incapacitating them with guacamole laced with Rohypnol.

In making this project a TV series rather than a film, Cohen has given himself the difficult task of having to try and outdo his stunts and deceptions each week. Episode 3's perhaps fell a little short of episode 2's, that hilarious mosque sales pitch remaining the show's most outrageous sketch so far, but can the comedian outdo himself tonight?

Four episodes of the show remain, and we know other politicians including Sarah Palin are still to make an appearance. Pardoned sheriff Joe Arpaio is expected tonight.

Watch along with us live below (please allow a moment for the live blog to load):

Who is America? is broadcast Sunday nights on Showtime in the US and follows Monday nights on Channel 4 in the UK.

Erran Morad is first up with an office safety seminar right out of the Michael Scott playbook!

"Here comes pork!"

Ok we've definitely seen that kind of sketch several times now. But the 'pork and gay porn' combo was gold.

"We are a couple of paedophiles and we should be proud of that."

Hmm, the interviewee simply didn't bite on anything there.

Another career over here. This man will never sell another yacht.

If you thought last week's Quinceanera was as weird as things could get, tonight we have a supposed fashion designer getting a blow job while buying a megayacht with which to traffic in humans.
