Synopsis: Improvisational comedian Sacha Baron Cohen brings his hit British TV series Da Ali G Show to America's HBO in a full season of irreverent interviews and zany special features, with Cohen assuming the characters of malaprop-spouting \¡±hip-hop\¡± journalist and aspiring rapper Ali G; Borat, a TV reporter from Kazakhstan who na?ely takes everything at face values; and Bruno, a gay \¡±fashionista\¡± from Austria. Season one of HBO's Da Ali G Show begins with the episode \¡±Law,\¡± in which Ali G tries out for the Philadelphia Police Department and interviews former U.S. attorney general Dick Thornberg, Borat tackles the topic of dating etiquette and Bruno launches the first of several in-depth looks at New York's \¡±Fashion Week.\¡± The next episode, \¡±War,\¡± features Ali G's wide-eyed tour of the United Nations and a chat with onetime UN secretary general Boutros Boutros-Gali. Next up is \¡±Politics,\¡± featuring the now-infamous Newt Gingrich interview (rumors persist that Gingrich was unaware that Ali G was a put-on) and Borat's clueless discourse on the American gun culture. \¡±Art\¡± finds Ali G chewing the fat with Inside the Actor's Studio's James Lipton and ex-astronaut Buzz Aldrin. The guests on \¡±Science\¡± include C. Everett Koop and Ralph Nader, with the added attraction of a sentimental stopover at a Nevada nuclear testing sight. And in \¡±Belief,\¡± Borat braves the wilds of \¡±The New South\¡± and Ali G pitches a series idea to a group of network execs -- while still managing to spend quality time with interviewees James Baker and Marlin Fitzwater. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
