'Who is America?': Sacha Cohen Baron uses 'pedophile detecting wand' on Roy Moore

After removing lawmaker Jason Spencer from his seat, looks like the comedian has his sight on the Republican who lost Alabama Senate seat amid sexual allegation charges.

Sacha Baron Cohen has already ensnared several politicians on his Showtime series 'Who is America?' But probably Sunday night's episode was the tensest as he interviewed former Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, who was to be Baron's latest prey in the satirical comedy show. 

Cohen, in character as an anti-terror expert from Israel, Gen. Erran Morad, told Moore that Israel has developed a machine that can be used to detect pedophiles in schools and playgrounds. Cohen explained, "The wand alerts the law enforcement and the schools within a 100-mile radius...It turns out that sex offenders and particularly pedophiles secrete an enzyme. So the phrase ''sweating like a rapist'' is actually based on science."

He explains to a rather tense looking Moore that the wand would probably not beep on them as none of them were sexual offenders.
