Sacha Baron Cohen Brings Back Borat and Ali G for 2024 Election Parody
Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat and Ali G are in the house.
Cohen revived both of his characters on Thursday’s episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” taking shots at former president Donald Trump and shooting his shot with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Cohen’s rapper character Ali G first praised Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump, saying, “Yo, Mr. Trump. You is been convicted of 32 crimes, you stole classified documents, you boned ‘nough porn stars, and you ain’t never paid no taxes. Respect! You is my hero.”
Ali G called Harris a “fit honey.”
“When I look at you on the television, me gets a massive election,” he said.
Soon after, it was Borat’s turn. He simply wants a favor from Trump.
“Mr. Trumps. You say in Ohio that people are eat the cats and the dogs. Which restaurant do they serve them at? Can you get me a reservation please?” Borat said. “In my country we have KFC: Kazakh Fried Cat. It’s pussy-licking good.”
And no, that wasn’t bleeped out.
Borat was, of course, referencing Trump’s now-infamous statement during the presidential debate that Haitian immigrants in Ohio are “eating cats and dogs.”
As for Harris, well, she probably shouldn’t come to Borat’s homeland, a fictional, ridiculous version of the very real nation of Kazakhstan.
“You are a woman, a person of color, and married to a Jew,” Borat said. “I advise you not to come to Kazakhstan. You already have made three out of the four crimes punishable by death. Please do tell me you have made sexy time with an underage bear.”
On the subject of bears, Borat pretty strongly suggested that Trump had sex with a pageant grizzly in Kazakhstan, and that there was a coverup in exchange for the U.S. nuclear launch codes.
Borat and Trump go way back. “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” (aka “Borat 2,” 2020) featured a scene humiliating Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and another of Borat wearing a Trump fat suit. Trump has called the character offensive and said Cohen was “a creep” and “a phony.”
