How Sacha Baron Cohen Snuck Ali G Into The Oscars - CONAN on TBS

i saw you the other night on the oscars as ali g i thought you were very funny you did a great job you know there you are i want to ask you something i found out i find it hard to believe the producers of the oscars are so controlling their they don't like surprises they didn't know that you were going to come out as ali g is that right that is correct that is correct they brought me in there and they said listen what are you what are you planning because you've done things to them in the past which we'll talk about but you have kind of pranked the oscars in the past and they thought we don't want any nonsense yes so they sat me down and sat me down with the producer they said what are you planning i said absolutely nothing and they said all right we want you to introduce a clip to the movie room and they go this speech it's and it was basically you know in a world far away where people have complete freedom down to a tiny room where a mother and so they said you happy to read that i said perfect great but secretly i knew i was going to do ali allergy but my thing was i knew that they would be trying to see whether i'd smuggle anything in so my wife very kindly smuggled the beard in her underwear is that true that is actually true that's a true story that's true yes that's a good wife well that is the real one okay so you she's has hurt the beer just in case anyone checks down there there's an excuse to have some a bit of bush there yeah and uh i've got the cap the allergy cap and the we put the glasses in another bag and then essentially 30 minutes before the i had to go on uh we went into this bathroom right on the side of the stage and she put the beard on me because she went into the bathroom with you and she did your makeup for ali g secretly yes so then when you walk out at that moment the producers the director everybody they just oh god he did it he did it to us yes the good thing is hollywood is one of the places where you can disappear into a toilet for half an hour without any one question they thought they thought there could be two or three things that me and my wife are doing neither of them involved going to the actual toilet exactly there's a uh there's a story i don't know if it's true but you famously you went to the oscars dressed as the dictator and you were carrying i believe the ashes of off the late uh kim jong-il yes and they didn't want you you actually you spilled the ashes all over ryan's secret accident [Applause] [Music] accidents happen accidentally you're such an yes i love it so anyway they knew that you might try something how did you get away with that well they called out my agent and they said if sasha comes within a mile off the oscars we have 250 agents right you know police officers and he will be arrested and i thought that's a little bit unfair because i was in this movie called hugo yeah and he was nominated for a bunch of academy awards and of course they said i want you there at the oscars you have every right to be exhausted as a legitimate actor exactly so there was a bit of two and four eventually they said all right sasha can come but you know any funny business and there's a problem so i get to the first checkpoint i've got a limousine and i have two women dressed up as virgin guards who's gaddafi had these virgin guards with him and we have kim jong-il's ashes in this urn yeah which i've put flowers on the top so it looks like it's a peace offering academy anyway we get to the first fbi checkpoint and they have a clipboard and i look on the clipboard and there's a picture of me with the beard [Laughter] don't let this man in and the guy says you know i'm gonna have to check the car and i go why and it goes because we believe that you're carrying in firearms into the oscars and i thought all right i don't have any guns but i am bringing in the ashes of a late dead uh dictator yeah so i thought how do i stop them from actually finding the urn so i said all right fine check everything and really you'd best sort of check me fully and also you'd better check the women and the guy popped his head in saw these two women got completely embarrassed and said you know what go in and then once i got in there they said listen you try anything and we're arresting you and they go we're putting seven bodyguards around you now the problem is when you put seven bodyguards on one person everyone thinks the other bodyguard is doing something yeah they're all looking here one's looking here once again meanwhile i'm with uh ryan seacrest and the flowers get to you know pass to me i turn them around turn it into an urn and accidentally yeah [Applause]
