I found the series' hilarity stock went up notch with this episode, but keeping in mind of course that SBC duping those celebrities with his own brand of schtick is still considered unsavory. Very bad man him.
Though the aftermath of this episode's initial US broadcast saw the resignation of a Georgia state elected official that kind of serves to punctuate the repugnance that the derogatory word he yelled in the first segment, it's the back-to-back interviews with high-profile celebs that can be considered as the highlight, Koppel's that serves as a counterpoint to the Cheney one. Cheney embracing the zaniness; Koppel busting SBC's nads.
The odd lot that was thrown in to the mix has an American TV celebrity seeking the help of by SBC's Italian photographer character to soften her onscreen persona that has acquired quite a nasty reputation during her stint on a reality TV competition show. Photoshop getting things done.
The Heal the Divide segment that is kind of antithetical to the downright farcical first segment. The sentiments aired by the local people who attended the townhall meeting who were presented with a project by SBC's cisgender character that's supposed to help boost their economy exposed some deep-seated prejudices that still permeates modern-day middle America. Unsettling in its rawness.
