## Summary

Sacha Baron Cohen says his new film, *Ali G: Who Iz I?*, may be his final undercover comedy, bringing the character back more than 20 years after his last film centred on Ali G. He describes it as his most ambitious and extreme project, using satire to expose assumptions and prejudices through characters placed in real-world situations.

In the film, Ali G learns his girlfriend Julie is pregnant and tries to support his family, while Dr Nira Cain-N’Degeocello seeks to get him cancelled. Its finale was filmed continuously over eight hours across 12 locations, with nearly 200 crew members and hundreds of choreographed beats. Cohen also discusses his preparation, the risks of undercover work and how audiences interpret his characters.
