The most recent victims of Sacha Baron Cohen's Showtime series, "Who Is America?" were former "Real Housewives of Orange County" star Gretchen Rossi and her husband, Slade Smiley.
The British comedian transformed back into Israeli Defense Expert Col. Erran Morad, who has the best track record of getting his guests to say or do the dumbest things (see exhibit A, exhibit B and exhibit C here for proof). This time, the character stopped by Gretchen and Slade's Orange County home to teach them the best ways to prevent home invasion, which included defending their bathroom via music. Sacha played the cello, and when he wasn't hitting on Gretchen, he was taking jabs at her "pussy husband."

"I worked in the army also as a seducer," Morad said. "I spent three years learning how to make a woman climax...but I'm sure Slut is very good, too."
"RHOC" fans may have been looking forward to this "Who Is America?" bit all season, as Rossi told Page Six back in February that they got pranked by the "Borat" creator.
"We got punked so bad by Sacha Baron Cohen," Rossi said. "I don't know, but we think it's for maybe, possibly his new movie. We were reached out to by this production company that basically said ... we're doing this series for Israel that's all about ... security and protecting yourself as an American celebrity."
Slade said that the production company wanted them to touch upon "what challenges you go through as a public figure" by "[bringing] in an Israeli Mossad agent to teach you some self-defense moves and check the security of your home."

You would not believe the stuff they were asking us to do -- the weirdest, creepiest, funniest stuff, but at the time, it wasn't funny. We literally thought they were going to kill Slade!"
Gretchen said she didn't question the strange behavior at first and that she never suspected she was talking to Sacha because he had a well-designed unibrow and face prosthetics. It wasn't until Morad said, "When Slade is dead, how soon do you start dating?" that she knew something was up. Smiley, on the other hand, hit his breaking point when Morad brought out zip ties as part of his "training."

View StorySlade said he and Gretchen tried to get a hold of the production company following the prank, but "everyone went dark." Two days later, the two were doing a magazine photo shoot, where they ran into martial artist Tito Ortiz.
"We were talking about things, and he was like, 'F--k, dude, I think I was punked by Sacha Cohen,'" Slade said of his conversation with Tito. "I go, 'What do you mean?'...and he started describing exactly what happened to us."
"He needs to win an Oscar for his performance," Gretchen laughed. "Incredible!"
