I see that Ali G makes his debut on American television next week, with his celebrity-interview-type-show.

What will you all make of him, I wonder?

OH GOD DON'T REMIND ME.

I spat my cup of tea out onto my keyboard in a very unladylike way just then.

also, how is The Office going down over there?

pretty sure it's only on the bbc so only anglophiles watch it; it has gotten a little bit of press so who knows (I mean to watch it but end up watching quickdraw mcgraw instead). I dread the ali g show more than I dread another season of def jam poetry slam but not as much as I dread the bill maher show.

Gee I miss a lot with out cable

I think The Office is only on BBC America, and I think a lot of cable services don't carry it (mine doesn't, anyway). Ali G will be on HBO, which fills me with great joy that I don't have HBO.

The lack of cable is often a beautiful thing.

I dunno. I just don't think he's going to fly over here. Nobody seemed to really give a damn about his cameo in Madonna's "Music" video.

Dame Edna Has Risen From The Graaaaaave!

I saw Shooting Stars when I was in the UK a few years back. It puzzled the bejeezus out of me for about half an hour. I love it now - I have about 4 episodes taped off BBC2 and I love showing them to friends and watching their reactions. I often find myself miming holding a handbag and going "oooohh!". Reeves and Mortimer are great!

Ali G sucks the big one, though.

james that quickdraw mcgraw thing was so greil marcus, dude

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 February 2003 23:10 (twenty-three years ago)

ah trayce then you know not of 'donald cox the sweaty fox'

― zemko (bob), Monday, 10 February 2003 23:15 (twenty-three years ago)

zemko - err, I can't say that I do. That sounds ... interesting... ;)

We get some BBC comedy in Aus but the best stuff never shows up here (shooting Stars, I'm Alan Partridge, etc). I am waiting for the whole 4 seasons of the Fast Show to come out on DVD. I've lost my tape of the episode with Johnny Depp and the "suits you" guys. Classic.

Whoops, total thread derailment there. Pardon me.

now rappers will start referencing ali g

My landlord loves The Office.

Jesus, did we send Carrot Top over to you people? Wtf? WE WILL NOW!

Careful, that's got to violate international treaties regarding the transport of toxic waste. To say nothing of what it would do to US-UK relations.

Yahoo Serious

You can keep Yahoo Serious, Im damn sure no Australians want him!

Carrot Top and Pauly Shore have appeared on UK TV already, 'thanks'.
