Eminem Gets Bum's Rush From BrunoAt Sunday's live show, the comedian descended from the ceiling on a wire in a fake mishap that ended with his bare backside near the rapper's face. Eminem told the website RapRadar.com: "I'm thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it." Cohen as Borat The Slim Shady star said, when he left the show, he went back to his hotel and laughed for three hours, including as he watched the playback. Cohen starred in the 2006 surprise hit comedy Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. It made more than £160m at worldwide box offices and featured him in the role of a naive and rude journalist from Kazakhstan named Borat, who has unscripted meetings with Americans. Borat attracted several lawsuits from individuals Cohen encountered while shooting the film. - Freak magnet - 06-04-2009 SBC ~ is he a genius or a twat.:;wgaf:: - Cynical Ninja - 06-05-2009 He is funny, but i think he just goes too far pushing the boundaries at times. For instance Borat was funny, but there were some almost unwatchable cringe making moments in it. - LuMPyPussy - 06-05-2009 I kept hearing how hilarious Ali G was so I rented the DVDs. The only character I thought funny was Bruno but I still find Cohen best in small servings.
