Sacha Baron Cohen's interview with Jimmy Kimmel gets derailed in the most ridiculous way
Watch Next

Only a Sacha Baron Cohen interview could end with a fake police raid and a car chase.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, the recent Golden Globe winner's remarks about Borat and the importance of exposing hypocrisy and criminality suddenly descend into an impressively chaotic sketch in which Baron Cohen fields calls from celebrities hungry for his shady supply of coronavirus vaccines.

"The movie exemplifies that those using power to get ahead, using their criminality, using their positions for self-enrichment—" he begins before being interrupted by his wife Isla Fisher handing over a wad of cash and telling him that "Mark Ruffalo's outside" and he wants two Pfizers and a Moderna.

The whole thing only escalates from there, with a supposed police raid leading to Baron Cohen jumping in his car and fleeing — all while he still tries to keep the interview going as if everything's normal.

You really can't fault his commitment to the bit.
