Sacha Baron Cohen is Reportedly Bringing His Character Ali G Back

Sacha Baron Cohen is reportedly reviving his classic Ali G character! This is the character that pretty much launched his career with Da Ali G Show. This interesting bit of news was dropped by entertainment scooper Jeff Sneider, and he revealed that he had heard that there is an Ali G project currently in development.

There are no details given as to what this project will entail, but it will be fun to see this character back in action! Sneider believed that the project will be a movie, though, and not a series. Cohen did make an Ali G movie back in 2002 with Ali G InDaHouse.

Sneider said: "Sacha Baron Cohen is bringing back his character, Ali G. "Ive heard Ali G is something that's in the works....They made Borat 2 completely under the radar. I broke the story about Borat 2 and that wasn't until that movie was test screening basically. So it's pretty crazy how under lockdown he has everything, but I have heard there's something happening."

He went on to say: "I think there's even people in the comments who are like, 'Who's Ali G?’ I do think he can manage to prank a lot of people. I just think we need more comedies in general. This weekend, No Hard Feelings is tracking for a $12 million opening, and that's not going to get Hollywood excited about making more comedies, but it takes people like Sacha Baron Cohen who can go and do their own thing, and don't need permission or whatever."

Ali G was a hilarious character and I’m excited that Cohen is going to be making a comeback with him! Da Ali G Show ran for three seasons on Channel 4 and later on HBO from 2000 until 2004. If you haven’t watched it, you should check it out! If you are familiar with Ali G, are you excited to learn that he’s coming back?
