Baron Cohen comes to interviews--as Ali G-holding equipment, along with an accomplice, who is dressed in an elegant and is characterized by polite ways. In this way, the persons to be interviewed think that conducting the interview will be the accomplice, and that Ali G is just a technician. When Ali G asks the questions, then, the comic effect is guaranteed, also because the character usually lets go to stupid comments, making it extremely foolish.

The second character of Sacha Baron Cohen's success is a Kazakh television journalist Borat: a childish man, sexist and anti-Semitic. The character, created inside the "Da Ali G Show," becomes the star of "Borat: cultural learnings of America for make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan" (original title: "Borat: cultural learnings of America for make benefit glorious nation of Kazakhstan"), Comic movie harbingers of controversy. Borat was born in Kazakhstan in 1972, a result of a rape, and the brother of Natalya, the fourth best Hooker of his country, and two, boy with mental problems.

This character had already appeared in 1998 on The Paramount Comedy Channel, in some short sketches, and subsequently in "Da Ali G Show" within the dedicated "Funkyzeit mit Bruno".
