The outrageous comedy/reality series stars British chameleon Sacha Baron Cohen, who travels across America in the guise of one of three totally different characters. Cohen's primary alter-ego is Ali G., who calls himself a "hip-hop journalist", but who's really a white rapper-wannabe. When Cohen isn't putting Ali G and his "guests" in unusual and often delightfully uncomfortable situations, he's shedding his yellow gangsta track suit attire and slipping into two other memorable characters: Borat, an impossibly naive TV reporter from Kazakhstan, and Bruno, a gay, Austrian fashionista. Each of these characters will be traversing America, exploring different aspects of our culture, and interviewing real celebrities and dignitaries.Episodes:1 - 1. Law (audio commentary)2.

Editor's Note
Already a megastar in his native England, multi-talented comedian Sacha Baron Cohen successfully makes the transition to American shores with DA ALI G SHOW. Cohen's most prominent character is Ali G, a yellow sweatsuit-wearing gangsta who performs some of the most outlandish interviews television has ever seen (at one point, he calls astronaut Buzz Aldrin "mah man Buzz Lightyear"). Other characters are the ridiculously naive Kazakhstani journalist Borat and Austrian fashion freak Bruno. Over the course of six episodes, Cohen and his alter egos traverse the American landscape in search of new and exciting adventures. The result is television at its most hysterical and brilliant. Boyashaka!
