On a recent episode of the talk show “Friday Night With Jonathan Ross,” Sacha Baron Cohen, known for his character Borat, made a memorable appearance. The British host warmly welcomed Borat to the United Kingdom, where he had come for the premiere of his new film.
During the interview, Borat introduced his son Bak, who was reportedly 11 years old at the time. The audience was shown a photograph of Borat with Bak and his wife, Zana. Borat revealed that he and his producer, Azamat Bagatov, were not initially granted entry into the United Kingdom but eventually made it.
Jonathan Ross couldn’t help but ask about Borat‘s fame in his home country of Kazakhstan. To everyone’s surprise, Borat declared himself the fourth most famous person in Kazakhstan. The top three spots went to Olympic gymnast Lily Uta, a Kazakhstan TV presenter named Premier Nav, and an actor known as Johnny the Monkey.
The conversation then shifted to Borat‘s documentary-style film titled “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.” Borat explained that he chose to go to America instead of the United Kingdom because his producer was denied entry. Azamat Bagatov, who joined them on the show, was described as a funny, plump man.
Borat clarified that he and Azamat were partners but not romantically involved, as Borat was married to Zana. He proudly displayed a picture of his wife on screen and later revealed that he had a new wife, making his family quite large.
As the conversation continued, the controversy surrounding Borat‘s film was addressed. While some people in Kazakhstan were not pleased with the portrayal of their country, Borat emphasized that not everything is controlled by the government, unlike in the United Kingdom.
Jonathan Ross also inquired about the talk shows in Kazakhstan, asking if they were similar to “Friday Night With Jonathan Ross.” Borat mentioned a popular Kazakh talk show hosted by Victor Hotela. The show apparently had a camera in the reception area and even one in the toilet, which intrigued Jonathan Ross.
The interview ended on a light note, with Borat playfully interacting with Jonathan Ross and other guests on the show. It was an educational and entertaining segment that left the audience amused.
Overall, Borat‘s appearance on “Friday Night With Jonathan Ross” showcased his wit and comedic prowess, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating his new film and wanting more interactions with his unique character.
