Before Donald Trump agreed to display his business acumen on ‘The Ali G Show’ he obviously did zero research – a technique he employs to this day. Ali G was an outrageous talk show host character made up by movie creator and actor Sacha Baron Cohen. As Ali G – a suburban wanna-be rapper, Cohen gave the appearance of being as dumb as a box of hammers. Perhaps the ruse was what enabled Cohen to score so many hits on some of the leading hypocritical wind-bags of the day -such as Newt Gingrich. Most guests, anxious to push their latest book or campaign suffered through the half hour, never realizing they’d been cat-fished into a hilarious interview.
Sacha Baron Cohen is seen more recently on James Cordon’s talk show, where he reveals that he knew something about Donald Trump early on, that approximately 32% of Americans still just don’t understand.
