Those are pretty funny. I have seen quite a few ali d shows and I have no idea why anybody would go on his shows. He gets some really big names on there, but I have no idea how.

I LOVE ALI G!

He is greatly talented!

Here is the real guy behind Ali G, Sascha Baron Cohen interviewed on Letterman.

And here's a link to many more Ali G clips/playlists.

Very very talented man.

Has a degree in history from Cambridge!

Borat is by far his best creation though!

His response to being sued by the Kazakhstan government!

You americans and your crazy hunting!

This guy is crazy! He wants to go Jew hunting! I wonder if he realised that Sacha Baron Coen is Jewish?

very cool customer - he didn't skip a beat when that guy starting praising the Nazis and the final solution - personally I wouldn't want to be sharing the same air.

Dressed as Ali G and performing as Ali G he gave the 2004 speech to the grads at Harvard.

It's at the You Tube links.

Speaking of Jesus:
Ali: What day was he born?
Catholic Priest: We celebrate his birthday on December 25th.
Ali: Ain't it a coincidence that he was born on Christmas?
CP: No....
Ali: Why DID Jesus go around with all dem reindeers?
CP: I'm not sure I've seen the same images you've seen, I think you're confusing him with Santa Claus. (The priest said it like that)

Ain't it hipocriticalist that so many nuns work part time as strippers?

I don't think he's actually this dumb...looks like a Stephen Colbert type.

I think it would be more accurate to say Stephen Colbert is an Ali G type. Ali G has been around for a bit longer iirc.

I compared him to Colbert because I think Colbert's a bit more prominent, and more well known. I didn't realize Ali G had been around this long.

Actually, "racialism/ist" was the original term, the shortening to "racism/ist" meant something different and eventually evolved to encompass the former word's meaning, as well. (See OED.)

So when Mr. Rooney gets angry at what he calls a grammatical error, it's Rooney himself that errs.
"You rise," he said, "like Aurora."

Dude's mostly boring. Seems like there is generally potential with a lot of his stuff, but it never really gets there.

Ali G has been around for several years, and is a household name here in the UK.

He originally started of as a character on 'The 11oClock Show', but was so popular that he was given his own show.

Most of his stuff is very well written, the most disappointing thing was Ali G Indahouse

Yeah. I admit to watching the flick once and only did so because I'd already become an admirer of his. The film really didn't do him justice. It was an exploitation flick which never really captured the true essence of his brilliance.

Remember, however, that Robin Williams had the same problem until they figured out how to make use of his talents.

Yes, for some reason they invited Colbert to speak at the Correspondents dinner. Search on YouTube for 'colbert' and the full version is one of the first to pop up. He really got very few laughs that night, but it was funny when the camera would pan the crowd, you could see a lot of people glaring at him, and then there'd be two guys cracking up but trying to hide it.

Oh god, that's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Except, of course, for the fact that it is very disturbing.

Here's a blog site that's devoted to Ali G & Borat!

http://seehere.blogspot.com/2006/01/...t-special.html

Here's a site with an Ali G video on Feminism and other funny videos, too. (Dane Cook, Triumph the Comic Insult Dog, Dave Chappelle...)

He did that bit again for the HBO show using a DEA agent. Much funnier and no laugh track.
