Borat Sagdiyev ("born" July 30, 1972) (Kazakh Cyrillic: Борат Сагдиев) is a fictional Kazakh journalist invented and portrayed by the British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.
In Da Ali G Show, a television series starring Baron Cohen, Borat interviews people who believe that he is a real Kazakh television journalist.
He is also the main character portrayed in the controversial and successful film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
Borat appears in Cohen's other film, Ali G Indahouse.
Borat evolved from previous characters that Sacha Baron Cohen had developed: An unnamed Moldovan TV reporter (for LWT/Granada TV and the BBC's Comedy Nation) and an Albanian TV reporter called Kristo (for the Paramount Comedy Channel).
He first presented his foreign reporter concept to Channel 4 in 1994[1], and by late 2000 Borat was, in his own words, a "great success."
Despite the immense success and exposure of the self-titled film, Cohen stated he is done with the character.
