In the youtube clip I will post, is it really Paul Daniels on the Ali G show? (Sacha Baron Cohen from Borat).

Warning* Foul language in some parts.

Thanks,

Looks like him

Sounds like him.

Looks like him, sounds like him but is it really him?

Yeah, it's Paul Daniels.

Joe Libby

Thanks, Joe, for the confirmation.

Yup, that's him for sure...

I remember cringing at that.

That's definitely Paul.

I just don't get Cohen at all. I like to see something that requires at least some preparation. He just doesn't have any material before the camera rolls, just some topics.

I highly doubt that.

Yeah doubt it too

That's Paul alright. Definitelyyyy.

I just don't know why Paul Daniels would subject himself to a show like that.

Because he has a great sense of humor?

Did you watch the clip?

Cracks me up every time. ali g is so funny

So is paul daniels.
some don't like him but for me he has to be one of the all time best TV magicians

Defenitely Paul Daniels.

Yep sure is

This basically proves how/why Daniels is one of the best comedy magicians - if not THE best out there. If you know anything about the Ali G show (some hilarious stuff!) you know that most people get flustered and outfoxed by Sasha. Daniels not only didn't come across as a buffoon - he darn near DOMINATED the scene. The guy is a legend - clever as hell - and pretty much no other one in our industry - save maybe Mac King could have come out actually looking BETTER than when they went into that situation. I think for Sasha to actually break down and basically go - *** - you're clever during the interview was huge. He met his match and really didn't try to screw with Paul. He became his friend and the bit was decently funny. Watch some of the other Ali G clips - you'll gain a HUGE respect for Paul and how he handled the whole thing.
