Specifically, do comedy. Perhaps his Orthodox upbringing, or his years as a diligent student, made him believe it wasn't the most noble of pursuits, so he set a five-year deadline for himself -- if it didn't work out in that time, he would find a job more suited to his education. His five years were almost up when <i><b>Channel 4</b></i> gave him that all-important break. </span></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNzf18Fj2Vva5Vm-uW6CWegKM_9Cu3nF8s0Oo4HZ7Tl1_kiaXNH3prbJBRMYgJJoZmuTKRzTgxbfqd0EzfKt-cuFm7o_-E-DDxqTy2woLfbRLrFbM7r7OZ72MPiAdrNUyLsGCzGQxsh4j3/s1600/Sacha+Baron+Cohen+Sas+Borat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNzf18Fj2Vva5Vm-uW6CWegKM_9Cu3nF8s0Oo4HZ7Tl1_kiaXNH3prbJBRMYgJJoZmuTKRzTgxbfqd0EzfKt-cuFm7o_-E-DDxqTy2woLfbRLrFbM7r7OZ72MPiAdrNUyLsGCzGQxsh4j3/s400/Sacha+Baron+Cohen+Sas+Borat.jpg" width="260" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span> </div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When Channel 4's <i><b>The 11 O'Clock Show </b></i>needed a host, Cohen auditioned -- rather, Ali G auditioned, in all his foul-mouthed arrogance. His persona landed the spot as host of the show's <i>"Voice of Youth"</i> segment. It didn't take long for the segment to catch fire, and shortly Ali G was given his own show, <i><b>Da Ali G Show</b></i>. Displaying his keen PR sense, before it debuted Cohen cranked up the buzz by releasing a video, Ali G, Innit. A best-seller, the video had fans in a frenzy for the debut. He stoked the fire by releasing two more videos, and in 2002, a full-length feature, <i><b>Ali G Indahouse</b></i>.</span></span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh8dOVMhdO_35PiCLwyNsTTwyotGx6D9BV9qhSMPyUYZzajKag6pvWKm-JcnVaLP2gM7P3tg0K3s3WXPfYybTeQ4vxsPe87gL7A6ChCXcu7QmieUNWaAbpXonzu-e_BZc07B3AhAuWqR1l/s1600/Sacha+BAron+Cohen+as+Bruno.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh8dOVMhdO_35PiCLwyNsTTwyotGx6D9BV9qhSMPyUYZzajKag6pvWKm-JcnVaLP2gM7P3tg0K3s3WXPfYybTeQ4vxsPe87gL7A6ChCXcu7QmieUNWaAbpXonzu-e_BZc07B3AhAuWqR1l/s400/Sacha+BAron+Cohen+as+Bruno.jpg" width="316" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In 2007, Sacha Baron Cohen released <b>Borat</b>: <i>Cultural Learnings from America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan</i>, which pretended to follow the hapless Borat across the U.S. looking for the love of his life, Pamela Anderson.
