The GuardianSacha Baron Cohen brings Ali G back with 300 look-alikes in London

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSacha Baron Cohen brought Ali G back this weekend with three hundred look-alikes walking around London, ahead of a new movie called Who Iz I.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThree hundred men in matching tracksuits and gold chains? Somehow nobody stabbed each other and nobody even needed a lanyard.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorChip, they are all pretending to be one man, and it worked, because the papers ran the photos.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThree hundred of the same guy.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd somewhere in there is the real one, so I would want a verification call to find out which Ali G is actually Ali G.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'd call all three hundred, and I'd bring them each a warm pretzel. Hashtag, Booyakasha.
