Borat Sagdiyev ...

... is a satirical Kazakhstani journalist caricature invented and portrayed by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. Borat evolved from a previous character that Baron Cohen portrayed, an Albanian TV reporter called Kristo, and was also possibly influenced by Internet celebrity Mahir Cagri or a Russian doctor Baron Cohen once met.

He appeared regularly on Da Ali G Show, with skits featuring him often relying on Borat's outrageous behavior and actions, and the reactions of uninformed individuals around him. In some cases, Borat's guests embrace his outrageous anti-Semitism and misogyny by agreeing with him, while other guests attempt to explain Western values to him.

Borat is shown in each episode of Da Ali G Show, doing satirical interviews with various people who apparently do not realize the show's nature. He has visited Britain and the United States.

The character's supposed Kazakh origins are purely a plot device, and almost all of his statements about that nation are false. The almost complete lack of knowledge about Kazakhstan and its culture among typical Westerners gives Borat's character license to do whatever he wants; the people Borat interacts with are often extremely afraid of offending him by being intolerant of what they perceive to be cultural differences.
