RIP Borat And Ali G
December 21, 2007
Sacha Baron Cohen is retiring the outrageously anti-Semitic, homophobic Kazakh journalist Borat as well as his alter ego, aspiring rapper Ali G.
Cohen readily admits he is more comfortable talking in the guise of the characters he has created, but unfortunately for him, both Ali G and Borat have had their day. Too many people know them and he reluctantly acknowledges that he can no longer retreat behind their personas.
“When I was being Ali G and Borat I was in character sometimes 14 hours a day and I came to love them, so admitting I am never going to play them again is quite a sad thing,” the 36-year-old actor-comedian says in the British newspaper’s Friday edition. “It is like saying goodbye to a loved one. It is hard, and the problem with success, although it’s fantastic, is that every new person who sees the Borat movie is one less person I `get’ with Borat again, so it’s a kind of self-defeating form, really.”
“It’s upsetting, but the success has been great and better than anything I could have dreamed of.”
In rememberance, here’s a funny video from when he was on David Letterman talking about himself (Borat) and his interests, etc..
Dont Forget about these recent hot posts!

Brilliant, great comedian, what a loss to the comedic world - Up there with Dom Joly, but like him, they’ve become too wide known…
RIP Bruno (we go vats up), me Ali, and Borat (i like!)

You do realize Sasha Cohen is himself jewish don’t you? That’s the funniest thing, most jews have a good sense of humor, racial jokes are great because peoplea ARE different. If he wasn’t jewish the media probably would have killed him. politicaly correctness is dumb and phony.

Borat and Ali G ignorant? LOL!
You are the same people that voted for Bush and would vote for him again if it were at all possible.
What a fucking moron you are.

I saw this coming from day one, was waiting for it to happen…the comedy was too dependent on spontaneity. Popularity was suicide.
