In the universe of comedian Sacha Baron Cohen’s creations, there is a trinity of beloved characters the world has helped make famous: Borat, Bruno and Ali G. Through his HBO series Da Ali G Show, all three of those characters thrived and survived into resurrections through cinematic spinoffs. Now, in the wake of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Cohen looks like he’s about to revive another one of the boys in the name of comedic mayhem.
If the whispers are true, then prepare for the return of Ali G, as seen at the top of this article! Now don’t go thinking this is a new TV or movie project. Sources close to comedy multi-hyphenate who spoke with Variety swear he’s acting in accordance with the 2023 WGA writer’s strike, as well as the SAG-AFTRA strike that’s currently underway. Instead, this report has Sacha Baron Cohen interested in taking Staines’ own rapper/journalist on the road as part of a potential stand-up comedy tour.
