Meet the Real Sacha Baron Cohen

From The Onion's Tolerability Index:

In-character interviews.

Is it admirable that Sacha Baron Cohen refuses to break character, or that World War Z author Max Brooks pretends that zombies are real? Yes. Is it funny? Usually. Is it also annoying to never get real answers? Definitely.

I largely was immune to a large portion of October's Borat media onslaught (not that my precious Times or Economist emerged unscathed).

But ugh. Letterman, Conan, Leno, Regis. The shtick gets old.

Anyway, I was reading Ann Althouse (so you don't have to) and noticed this: From NPR's Fresh Air, an interview with Sacha Baron Cohen.

That's right, not in character. Maybe I could ask him for my ten bucks back.
