Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G Was Banned From Oscars 2016, Snuck Costume In with Isla Fisher!

Sacha Baron Cohen made a big reveal that his Ali G character was actually banned from the 2016 Academy Awards, but he sneakily brought the costume in!

“The truth is we actually had to sneak it in because the Oscars sat me down before and said they didn’t want me to do anything out of order,” the 44-year-old actor told ITV about his Ali G bit. “They wanted me to actually present it as myself. But luckily [wife Isla Fisher] put on the Ali G beard in the disabled toilets so we managed to get away with it.”

“I mean there were a few moments I was a bit worried how they’d react to the first gag, but I bumped into Chris Rock actually on the way on and pitched him the gag and he gave me the thumbs up so I went for it,” Sacha continued.

During the bit, Sacha said, “‘Ow come there’s no Oscar for dem very hard-working little yellow people with tiny d***s. You know, the Minions.”

Nathan Lane & Matthew Broderick Return as 'The Producers' for Donald Trump Spoof! (Video)

Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick get back into character as Bialystock and Bloom in a fake sequel to their musical The Producers, which debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live‘s post-Oscars special on Sunday (February 28).

The spoof imagines the two producers helping out with the presidential campaign for Donald Trump.

“Max, do you realize that under the right circumstances it might be possible for us to make more money from a losing candidate than from a winner? First we find a bad candidate, then we raise money like crazy and we promise all the donors an ambassadorship, to Italy or Sweden or Armenia,” Matthew‘s character says.

“Then when the public figures out what a nutcase our guy is, he drops out of the race…” “… and we keep all the dough,” Nathan continues as Max. “This candidate, he’s gotta be the worst candidate in history. A real trainwreck, a schmuck, a putz, a grade-A world-class gold-plated nincompoop. Where would we ever find a buffoon like that?”

Make sure to watch the funny clip and catch the appearance of Cloris Leachman!
