CBS “60 Minutes” will air a profile of Sacha Baron Cohen on Oct. 18.
The episode comes ahead of the Oct. 23 premiere of “Ali G: Who Iz I?,” a film in which he reprises the role he first played on Channel 4’s “The 11 O’Clock Show” and Channel 4 and HBO’s “Da Ali G Show.”
In the “60 Minutes” episode, Ariel Levy sits down with Cohen in London. As Cohen is best known for playing characters like Ali G, Borat and Brüno in the real world while interacting with unsuspecting people, the interview focuses on the craft behind his brand of undercover comedy and the objectives of his satire.
