Sacha Baron Cohen
Sacha Baron Cohen is a British comedian and actor known for creating provocative fictional characters—Borat, Ali G, Bruno—who interview real people unaware they're being satirized.
His work blurs comedy and confrontation, exposing prejudice and absurdity through elaborate pranks: He pulled a Sacha Baron Cohen on them.
The name sometimes stands in for this style of ambush satire.
