The Ali-G show is a writer's dream come true and it is apparent that Cohen is a VERY talented writer, and very talented actor. I am just NOT impressed with the "Ali-G" character...and it's not his fault, I am just not a fan of that so nothing in that would interest me. It could be because the whole "rap"/"hip-hop" thing is dead in the water to me and seeing someone from another country make fun of it is redundant. His other characterizations were more funny to me, especially when infiltrating the fashion world.
But placing the "Ali-G" character and interviews aside, Cohen does pull it out displaying a lot of real acting and writing talent and I am hoping to see him do something else stateside. The most unique thing was when I went to see "Madagascar", I knew his voice immediately and he was a riot! I am looking forward to seeing him expand from "Ali-G" and show everyone around the world what a hot commodity he truly is.
