Is it something he will do again? Because the reason I became a comedian was that I loved people laughing at my jokes. To actually hear laughter is a rare thing for me. When I do the movies, I think it is funny, but I have to wait three months to hear an audience laugh. I spent a bunch of time trying to call up rich people to get them to start making ventilators. All by Arthur Galan.

He is cheery, talkative, his London roots clear in his accent. Our small talk, though, is tiny. Famous folk rarely want to discuss their personal lives, but Baron Cohen has an excuse: he gets death threats.

Understandably, then, he would like people to know as little as possible. Also related: he wants to move on. At one point in filming, he was forced to flee a gun rally, hiding out in a van wearing said bulletproof vest. Why go through all that fear? His big break came performing sketches on the Paramount Comedy Channel, where he developed the character Ali G -- a wannabe gangsta rapper from a nondescript town west of London. The show also featured Borat, a naive Kazakh visitor to Britain who displays unthinking homophobia, anti-Semitism and sexism, and Bruno, a flamboyantly gay Austrian fashionista.

Prince William even revealed that he and brother Harry taught their great-grandmother, the Queen Mum, to imitate Ali G by clicking her fingers and saying his classic "Respec'". And I don't find him funny. To promote "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan", he posed on the beach at the Cannes film festival in a green mankini that left little to the imagination.

Along with an infamous nude fight scene, it showed Borat in cringe-making encounters with ordinary Americans. At a rodeo, he called for then-president George W. Bush to "drink the blood of every single man, woman and child of Iraq", to cheers from the crowd. The New York Times said the film's comedy was "as pitiless as its social satire, and as brainy".

While that film was not a success, Baron did get to introduce American audiences to the barely literate, nearly incomprehensible character through a new version of Da Ali G Show.

But this was not before Ali G asked the news veteran, "Has journalists ever put out tomorrow's news by mistake? Baron Cohen faced his share of criticism for perpetuating negative racial and cultural stereotypes on his program, even receiving threats to his personal well-being, according to some reports. The next of Baron Cohen's characters to hit it big was Borat Sagdiyev, an oversexed, bigoted man-child television personality from Kazakhstan.

With the premise of making a documentary about the United States, Borat traveled the country, interviewing people and getting involved in some unusual and sometimes disturbing situations. As the film's website explained, Borat's "backwards behavior generates strong reactions around him, exposing prejudices and hypocrisies in American culture. To do the satire, Baron Cohen remained in character throughout the filming.

The convincing nature of this persona led to an anti-Semitic singalong in a bar and an encounter with some bitter frat boys in an RV who spewed a number of misogynistic and prejudicial remarks, among other adventures.

Not everyone was laughing, however. Several lawsuits were filed after the film's release by unhappy participants—including the now notorious frat boys — claiming that they were duped by Baron Cohen.

He responded to this charge by saying, "This wasn't Candid Camera I don't buy the argument that, 'Oh, I wouldn't have acted so racist or anti-Semitic if I'd known this film was being shown in America. The government of Kazakhstan was also not happy with how the country was portrayed on screen.

In the film, Borat showed some of the people he encountered explicit photographs of him and his "sister" and said that the country produced wine made from horse urine.
