Cohen is a Cambridge scholar from a middle-class and devout Jewish family. For the record, Cohen, 35, is nothing like Borat, Bruno, Ali G or Jean Girard, the gay French Formula Un driver who kissed Will Ferrell full on the lips in Talladega Nights. Kazakhstan is the ninth-largest country in the world, but Cohen is counting on the fact that most Americans know squat about it or him. And then there’s Borat, the smiling, shamelessly offensive TV reporter from Kazakhstan who takes pride that his sister is “the number-four prostitute in all of country” where a ritual - “the running of the Jew” - is celebrated every year (“There you go, kids, crush that Jew egg before it hatches”). His Bruno, a gay fashion commentator with a Nazi fetish, claimed to be the voice of Austrian youth. His gangsta journalist Ali G tricked politicians (Newt Gingrich, Boutros Boutros-Ghali) and pundits (Gore Vidal, Andy Rooney) into embarrassing and revealing interviews. Or it will if you’re not part of the cult spawned when HBO premiered Cohen’s Da Ali G Show in 2003, and Americans first encountered the inspired British comic who hid behind a series of alter egos. Borat will make you laugh till it hurts, and you’ll still beg for more.īorat, subtitled Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, sneaks up on you.

As Borat Sagdiyev, a visitor from Kazakhstan, Sacha Baron Cohen is a balls-out comic revolutionary, right up there with Lenny Bruce, Andy Kaufman, Dr.
