I only saw moments of Ali G on British TV, and the Comic Relief Posh and Becks interview, but when I first heard he went and did a show in America, I was obviously pleased that he has made a name for himself. Sacha Baron Cohen basically continues his legacy as the British cockney Jamaican "black" man every episode basically interviews an American with expertise about a particular subject, e.g. politics, education, animals, sexual matters, pregnancy and abortion, language and many others. He is just brilliant at asking them questions with sexual words they don't understand relating to the subject, and playing with their words, he basically shows us how stupid Americans can be. Originally called Ali G in da USAiii, this was the show that also introduced his other characters, his Golden Globe winning Kazhakistan TV personality Borat, and gay fashion guru, Bruno. Oh, I am British, I do not have anything against Americans, I love them! The programme was nominated 6 Emmys. Ali G was number 8 on The 100 Greatest TV Characters, he was number 6 on The 100 Greatest Funny Moments, along with Borat at number 24 and Bruno at number 77, and he was number 6 on The World's Greatest Comedy Characters, with Borat at number 17, and Sacha Baron Cohen (or as the character) was number 12 on Britain's Favourite Comedian. Very good!
