I saw you the other night on the Oscars is Ali G.
I thought you were very funny.
You did a great job, E.
Want to ask you something?
I found out I find hard to believe.
The producers of the Oscars are so controlling their They don't like surprises.
They didn't know that you were gonna come out as Ali G.
Is that right?
That is correct.
That is correct.
They brought me in there and they said, Listen, what do you What do you planning?
Because you've done things to them in the past, which we'll talk about.
But you have kind of prank the Oscars in the past and they thought we don't want any nonsense.
Yes.
So they sat me down and sat me down on the producer.
They said, What are you planning?
I said absolutely nothing on.
They said, All right, we want you to introduce a clip to the movie room on Go this speech.
It was basically, you know, in a world far away where people have complete freedom down to a tiny room where a mother and they said you happy to read that I said perfect, Great.
But secretly, I knew I was gonna do Ali G.
But my thing was, I knew that they would be trying to see without smuggle anything in.
So my wife very kindly smuggled the beard in her underwear.
Eyes that true?
That is actually true.
That's a true story.
That's true.
Yes.
Yeah, that's a good wife.
Well, that is a real life.
Okay, so you she has hurt.
The beer has to bid, just in case anyone checks down there.
There's an excuse toe.
Have some a bit of bush there on.
I've got the cap, the allergy cap, the We put the glasses in another bag, probably on then, essentially 30 minutes before the I had to go on.
We went into this bathroom right on the side of the stage, and she put the bed on me because she went into the bathroom with you.
And she did your makeup for Allie G secretly.
Yes.
And 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.
With the good thing is, Hollywood is one of the places where you can disappear into a toilet for half an hour.
There.
Anyone questions?
I thought they thought they could be two or three things that me and my wife we're doing.
Neither of them involved going to the actual toilet.
Exactly.
There's a 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 Kim Jong Il.
Yes, on.
They didn't want you.
You actually you spilled the ashes all over Ryan Seacrest.
E Here's such an asshole.
E love it.
So anyway, they knew that you might try something.
How did you get away with that?
Well, they called up 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.
Andi, I thought that to Libya.
Unfair because I was in this movie called Hugo Scorsese and it was nominated for a bunch of Academy Awards because they said, I want you there at the Oscars.
You have every right to be exactly as a legitimate actor.
Exactly.
So there was a bit of tune for eventually they said All right, Sasha income.
But you know any funny business and there is a problem.
So I get to the first checkpoint.
I've got a limousine and I have two women dressed up his virgin guards whose Gadhafi have these Virgin guards on.
We have Kim Jong Il's ashes in this urn, which I have to 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 beer thing.
Don't let this man in on The guy says, You know, I'm gonna have to check the car and I go Why?
And it goes because we believe you're carrying in firearms into the Oscars.
I thought, All right, have any guns by am bringing in the ashes of a late dead dictator?
So I thought, How do I stop them from actually finding the urn?
So I said, Alright, fine.
Check everything and really best sort of check me fully, and also you'd better check the women on.
The guy popped his head and 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 were putting seven bodyguards around you.
Now, the problem is, when you put seven bodyguards on one person, everyone thinks the other body God is doing something.
They're all looking here.
Ones looking here once again.
Meanwhile, I'm with Ryan Seacrest on the flowers.
Get past me.
I turn them around, turn it into an urn on accidentally.
Actually, yeah, yeah.
Dump the ashes on.
Right, right.
