Once England became too familiar with his characters, Baron Cohen was forced to move them to America.

From there he developed his characters Ali G, Borat, and Brüno, who all appeared on Da Ali G Show. Cohen got his first big television gig by showing producers of the British late night satirical program The 11 O’Clock Show footage of Krickler at a pro fox-hunting rally. Initially, the comedic actor turned that doctor into a character named Alexi Krickler, a reporter from Moldova who had trouble understanding British culture. While vacationing in Astrakhan in southern Russia, Sacha Baron Cohen met a doctor who he thought was hilarious, and was similar to what Borat would become-minus the racism, misogyny, and/or anti-Semitism.
