Sacha Baron Cohen Then
Cohen was hosting a weekly program on Windsor cable television’s local broadcasts with Carol Kirkwood in the early 1990s. Channel 4 advertised an open request for new television presenters in 1995, as it was contemplating a replacement for its series The Word. A producer was impressed when Baron Cohen put in a tape of himself in the role of Kristo, an Albanian fictional television reporter (who later became the Kazakh character Borat Sagdiyev). Pump TV was presented by Baron Cohen from 1995 to 1996.
