Da Ali G Show
Da Ali G Show was the name of two related satirical TV series starring British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen and featuring the character Ali G.
The original (single season) series was made by Channel 4 in the UK, and the second (two season) series by HBO in the US. The UK series has not been shown in the US, and the second series was known as Ali G in da USA in countries where the original series had screened.
Baron Cohen played three bumbling journalists — Ali G, Borat Sagdiyev, and Bruno — who interview unsuspecting people (sometimes very high-ranking officials) and make them look foolish. His exposure of this foolishness using these ignorant characters makes the show an excellent example of Socratic irony.
On July 23, 2005 HBO announced they have no plans to make an additional season of the show. Some said that Baron Cohen's celebrity status prevents his interview subjects from mistaking him for a bumbling journalist
