Da Ali G Show

Da Ali G Show was a satirical Channel 4 show (aired on HBO in the United States) starring British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, who played three bumbling journalists — Ali G, Borat Sagdiyev, and Bruno — who interviewed unsuspecting people (sometimes very high-ranking officials) and made them look foolish.

Characters

Ali G

Ali G is the main character of Da Ali G Show. He interviews unsuspecting guests, often telling them he is a British talk show host and wants to discuss the media and politics. Other times he tells his guests that he is teaching civics to British teens. Regardless of his method of procuring the interview, the outcome is often the same—he sits down with his guests, and then asks a string of loaded questions devised to goad them into replying with something equally ridiculous..

Borat

Borat Sagdiyev is another character featured frequently. He comes from Kazakhstan, and travels around the United Kingdom and United States interviewing people and engaging in their activities. Borat often makes his guests feel uncomfortable by introducing them to Kazakh customs, or by making misogynistic and anti-Semitic comments based on his unfamiliar culture.

Bruno

Bruno is the third and least used character of Da Ali G Show. He claims to be the voice of Austrian youth television, and makes others uncomfortable by flaunting his apparent homosexuality. Bruno also interviews fashion aficionados and exposes their extreme views of how unfashionable people should be treated and to show the superficiality, hypocrisy and inconsistency of the fashion world.
