Cohen appeared on the station as filler in between programmes, where he developed his skill for embarrassing interviews—a later hallmark of Ali G. Cohen was hired on to the “11 O’Clock Show” after sending the producers a tape of him posing as an Albanian reporter interviewing fox hunters, and Ali G was soon born.
Cohen continued to receive accolades, including Personality of the Year in 2000 from the TV Quick Awards and Best TV Entertainment Production at the 2000 Ethnic Multicultural Awards, despite complains from critics that Ali G was racist.

 New York Daily News - Home - Jack Mathews: Borat   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Cohen assumes the personality of Borat Sagdiyev, one of three alter egos invented by the Cambridge-educated comedian for HBO's "Da Ali G Show." Put simply, Borat is a genial village idiot with a precise knack for political incorrectness.
He demonizes Jews (Cohen is Jewish, which doesn't entirely excuse him), objectifies women, and - one would guess from the wet kiss he gives his young sister ("She is number four prostitute in all of Kazakhstan," he boasts) - isn't opposed to sex with close family members.
Cohen's first movie, "Ali G Indahouse," was a scripted affair that was not released theatrically in the U.S., and though he was very funny as gay French racecar driver Jean Girrard in "Talladega Nights," it's hard to believe Jean and Borat are played by the same actor.
