Borat

Borat Sagdiyev (Assumed Cyrillic: ????? ???????) is a fictional Kazakhstani media figure, created as satire and played by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. He is featured in each episode of Da Ali G Show, doing satirical interviews with various people who apparently do not realize the show is fake. He has visited Britain and the USA. The character's supposed Kazakh origins are purely a plot device; the near-total lack of knowledge of the country among westerners enables the show's writers to create outrageous dialogue while preserving a semblance of credibility with the interviewee.
