"According to Rolling Stone magazine, Baron Cohen would always enter the interview area in character as Ali G, carrying equipment and appearing to be an inconspicuous crew member. He would arrive with a suited man, whom the interviewee naturally thought was the interviewer. Baron Cohen, as Ali G, would sit down to begin conducting the interview by asking the interviewee some preliminary questions. The interviewee, however, would remain under the impression that the smartly-dressed director would be conducting the interview until short notice prior to cameras rolling: this would grant an advantage of surprise, whereby the interviewee would be less likely to opt out of the Ali interview prior to its start."

Skeletons are not actually involved in evil stuff. The skeleton is simply the last part of the body to remain after everything else has decomposed. The folklore of skeletons being "involved in evil stuff" is based on how we imagine the decomposed corpse coming back to life.

Sacha 'genuinely' did NOT like this guy. He found him arrogant, brazen and rude. This was one of his funniest ever videos. He didn't even 'attempt' to ask serious questions. He just wanted to piss this pompous surgeon off. Reading the back story of how all of these interviews came to pass is fascinating. Ali G just went for the kill right off the bat here, you can tell he hated the doctor. 'Let's talk about death D E F, the thing that happens a few weeks after you're no longer alive.' Even by hos physically close Sacha is to this guy shows he just didn't care one bit about this interview. 'let's talk about the human body cause everyone has got one of them,... so we is meant to believe.' He was winding him up 'prior' to the interview, which he seldom did with his one on one interviews, if ever. This is one of my favorite things he ever did

He's renowned for championing policies to protect the rights of newborns with disabilities, and devoted a large part of his later life to helping other parents who had lost a child.

Fun fact about the man in the video (Surgeon General C. Everett Koop), he was probably one of the best politicians of his time.
