His name is Cohen, of course he's Jewish! Ali G has been a cult classic at colleges throughout the US for years. this clip is really old, I`m amazed IAB is only getting this now. Just to note SB Cohen is a genius who graduated with honors from Cambridge Uni in England. The characters that he plays in his shows, Ali G, Borat and Bruno, are extreme caricatures that often bring out the worst in people. The show is meant as humo"u"r but also has a strong social message. Notice that the people in the bar, even though they are unaware of the joking nature of the show, actually join in and sing. i think that shows alot. I highly recommend SB Cohen, not only because his show is hilarious and highly quotable, but because of the social commentary made during the show. Sure he says very unPC things, but so what....if you can`t handle it go create a 1984 or Fahrenheit 451 society in your corner, don`t include me in it! As for me, Ali G, I A Like, It`s a nice. Even though my wife, she is

EETS VERR NICE!!! Just to point out, He's not being Ali G in this clip the character is called Borat, from Kazakhstan, and Borat is much more racist than Ali G, but Sacha Baron Cohen I think is Jewish

Ali G is crazy... I love him :) He does expose other people's prejudice. I can remember one epidsode, were he talked to a Cambridge professor and he said, that women aren`t creative and thus cannot become great scientists.

Just to point out that he is in character there. Its tongue-in-cheek humour, satire that exposes people's ignorance and prejudice.
