Sacha Baron Cohen wants to bring back Ali G, a funny character he played 25 years ago. Ali G is a made-up guy who acts like a tough gangster but is actually a joke. Sacha wants to do a new show where Ali G talks and makes people laugh on stage.
Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Ali G gained fame for his comedic interviews with experts on his TV show in the 2000s, and he has continued to make appearances, including a sketch at the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards, a Sydney comedy club show, and hints of a stand-up tour, with Baron Cohen expressing interest in gauging audience reactions to Ali G’s antics. Initially, Ali G’s interviews involved tricking people and satirizing those who imitated urban youth culture, but this approach garnered criticism for potentially mocking black street culture. Alongside characters like Borat and Bruno, Baron Cohen, now 51, has employed similar pranks and humor in his work.
