My brain is broken. I thought you said mid covid

i bust my ass every fucking time. fucking genius

I was going to say that yes. I can imagine being the camera man and getting irritated by that

Just such a small thing but fucks things up so completely. Hes such a clever guy.

@@perpetual_bias he did alot more that was cut out. He was on for aboutv25 minutes. I watched it live

A 10 year old comment jesus christ.

omg

Jimmy Sanders You still exist? I was 6 when you wrote this.

Jimmy Sanders Yes WAPT is a realistic station here in Jackson, MS. I actually work there as a production assistant

@@glebsokolov9959 Yes, I do.

Hey buddy

they always do

I watched it live. The weather guy was a good guy. I'm not sure if he's still there or not, but he always joked around. No one knew this was a skit for a movie. I guess Sasha sensed the guys sense of humor because he went up and interrupted several times.

The media was going crazy, comparatively speaking, when the movie dropped. It was massive. Genuine cultural phenomenon

I don't think so, must people would think it was fake

​@@OldDumbTeenCommentAccountwhen you realize Sacha Cohen is a Democrat and has democrat values, your comment makes no sense.

​@MarcLloydZ Sasha is a Brit so he wouldn't have what you call 'Democrat' values.

I know this comment is 12 years old (geez!) but poor producer :(

If I were her boss, at first I'd be mad that she let SBC prank the news show, but I wouldn't fire her because we're in motherfucking Borat.

@@Malkmusianful Why do news stations have to take themselves so seriously all the time, anyway? It’s like nobody but the boss is mad about this

@@AgentZoro because somebody didn't check out the person thoroughly at first It would be easy to determine whether or not the production shell company they made for the movie is actually connected to production companies in Hollywood

@@Malkmusianful Sure, it’s preventable. But my point is stunts like these are harmless and make most normal peoples’ days better

i died 😭😭

Was this actually broadcast? What was the talk of it before the movie came out? Did people by and large just think he was a crazy foreigner?

@@shayZero Well, I was 4 at the time so I cannot recall. Not a lot of people in Mississippi watch public television anymore so I can't really speak for the people that saw it. What I can say is that this was really broadcast live on television and probably gave a lot of laughs and confusion. The antique shop in the movie is in the downtown area of my city (I actually drove past there last week, never been in there before but I wanna visit it for the movie's sake.) The guy that worked there that you see in the movie thought he was just an extremely clumsy foreigner until he saw Borat on the Tonight Show and realized that it was a big joke. Many would probably expect us Mississipians to be sore about it but truth is me and a lot of others think this is one of the funniest movies out there.

I’ll one up you. That broadcast took place in my city when I was 4 ha

I was two when this movie came out and I’m from Mississippi. Madison in particular. It is very crazy to think that this happened

Please tell me you live in Yazoo City

Nah Ken Johnson is at KAUZ now. Wearing mom jeans on public.

@@floydbarstool3148 Indeed, I talk with him from time to time

you mean that retarded guy?

Like I’ve stayed in that hotel in the background of the skycam shot. My little sister was born in a hospital down the road from there. I’m tripping out.

Anna S Hey I’m from Jackson and I work for WAPT as a production assistant

Yes, it was real. This is my hometown news channel!

It is! I worked there that morning. Funniest day I had there.

@@nyoungjunior and how was that? could u tell us more?

@@nyoungjunior did anyone know who Sacha was and stayed quiet?

@@themodelcitizen2 I doubt that. It was 2006 and no one knew Borat back then.

It is real. This was an actual broadcast

Isaiah Probst lol 12 years later

probably just shitfaced.
