Hi, Sasha.
How are you?
Yeah.
I'm pretty good.
How are you?
Nice to see you.
It's good to see you.
I haven't seen you for a while.
This is your first time on the show.
We've known each other for a long time.
You actually lived in our guest house a long time ago.
And I learned today that that's where you first you
wrote your first Borat movie.
Yes, that's right.
Actually, I want my deposit back.
[LAUGHTER]
The clock on the microwave was broken when I moved in there.
And as my lawyers have said, we'd like it back if possible.
But, yes.
I wrote Borat there.
Yes.
All those years ago.
My lawyers want a piece of that Borat movie
because you lived in our guest house when you wrote it.
So I would like some of that.
If you give me back the deposit, you can have some of the movie.
OK.
I'll take it.
Hey, um--
Yes.
When I was there, I would see you in the mornings.
You'd have a walk around the garden.
And I was writing Borat.
Yes.
And you were in a robe a lot of times and sometimes less
than that.
Well, yes.
I was getting ready for the naked fight scene in Borat
just getting myself mentally ready.
You have to be naked when you write the naked fight scene.
All right.
So congratulations on the movie.
It is getting great reviews.
A lot of people have watched it.
It's hilarious and cringe-worthy.
And there's a lot-- explain Borat.
In case someone has not seen the first movie, who Borat is,
and what this movie is.
So Borat is a journalist from a country called Kazakhstan.
And it's a, made-up version of this real country, Kazakhstan.
And I go around the country interviewing real people.
And this movie is about Borat.
He is instructed by his government
to give his daughter as a gift to Mike Pence.
That's basically it.
That's the movie.
Yep.
That's the movie.
Yep.
And it's your journey to get there.
And you are filming in some dangerous--
first of all, so what did you say to, for instance,
the two guys that you lived with during the COVID shut down,
what did they think they were doing
with cameras in their house?
So they saw that they were going to have
a lockdown with somebody from a foreign country, who didn't
really understand the virus.
I spent five days living with them
in character, breakfast til going to sleep at night.
So yes.
I got a little bit lost in the character actually.
Yeah.
And you're still like, you know, I know the story of you.
They're trying to knock on the door.
And you're trying to get ready for the next day as yourself.
And you would have to answer the door as Borat.
You go to this event.
I mean, there's so many things in this film that I'm thinking,
oh, my god.
You could be hurt so badly if they find out that you
are duping these people.
You go to this event for Mike Pence.
You're dressed as Trump.
How did you even get in looking like that?
Well, basically, I woke up at one in the morning.
And here we go.
Yes, they transformed me.
We had a prosthetics team transform me into Donald Trump.
And then I put on a fat suit, kind of, 55-inch fat suit.
Because that's what the prosthetic team said
equated his size perfectly.
And then I got into a different disguise.
I did Trump's hair differently, got past the C-pack security,
got past the TSA.
And actually, the TSA were kind of wanding me.
And they basically went past my chest, and it beeped.
And I was terrified obviously.
The moment they touched my body.
It's a fat suit so I wouldn't have been allowed in.
And they said, what is that, sir?
Why is it beeping?
And I go, it's a pacemaker.
And then the guard from the TSA carried on wanding me.
And then down by my belly, it beeped again.
He goes, what's that?
And I didn't know what to say.
And he said, he said, hold on it's
the wire to the pacemaker, yeah?
I go, yeah.
Yeah, of course.
And he let me in.
And then I spent five hours hiding in the men's bathrooms
in C-pack, listening to conservative men
go to the toilet.
And I would say, Stephen Miller, if you're watching this,
you need more fiber in your diet.
It shouldn't take that long.
[LAUGHTER]
OK, well.
If he's watching, he got the message.
All right, Sasha.
We're going to take a break.
And then we're going to talk about the other movie
that you're brilliant in.
And I'm just so happy for you.
But we'll take a break.
We'll be back in a moment.
Thank you very much, Ellen.
All right.
Thank you.
We'll be back.
