biography
Riotous, rude, controversial, even racist (or "racialist," as he might say)—these have been just a few adjectives used to describe the cultural phenomenon Ali G, the creation of British-born actor-comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. Invented for the short-lived British sketch comedy series, “The 11 O’Clock Show” (Channel 4, 1998-2000), Ali G made an immediate impact as "Channel 4’s official voice of youth." Ali G’s often hilarious interviews with unsuspecting politicians and celebrities became an immediate hit with UK viewers. So believable was Cohen as Ali G that many thought the former didn’t exist.
