Borat Sagdiyev is a fictional Kazakh reporter created by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. The character frequently appeared on Cohen's Da Ali G Show.
The feature length mockumentary film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan tells the tale of Borat and his television producer Azamat Bagatov (Ken Davitian) as they make their way from poverty stricken Kazakhstan to the United States to report on life in that country. Along the way Borat becomes obsessed with Pamela Anderson, and he makes it all the way to California to "marry" her.

In December 2007, Sacha Baron Cohen announced that he would be "killing off" his Borat character.Cohen speaking about the death of Borat: "It is like saying goodbye to a loved one. It is hard, and the problem with success, although it's fantastic, is that every new person who sees the Borat movie is one less person I 'get' with Borat again, so it's a kind of self-defeating form, really."Telegraph: Sacha Baron Cohen: Killing off Borat
