He first appeared on Channel 4’s The 11 O’Clock Show in 1998. Ali G is a fictional stereotype of a British suburban male who imitates inner-city urban British hip hop culture and British Jamaican culture.

In December 2007, in an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Baron Cohen announced that Ali G and Borat had been retired.

It showcases Ali G as James Bond in a series of inexplicably occurring action and sex scenes. He was also featured in the music video by Madonna as a limo driver.
