How to tell Sasha Cohen and Sacha Baron Cohen apart

151420__sasha_lBad enough all of us Bachelor fans had to struggle last month to differentiate egg-rotting radiologist Allie G. from outrageous fictional TV personality Ali G., but now there's the trouble with actor Sacha Baron Cohen (coincidentally or not, the man who portrays Ali G.) and U.S. champion figure skater Sasha Cohen. How the heck is a casual TV fan supposed to tell these two apart? Fear not, the PopWatch primer will get you through:

-Sasha Cohen (far left and second from right) judged aspiring designers' creations on Bravo's Project Runway; Sacha Baron Cohen (second from left and far right) judged celebrities' designer frocks as Austrian fashion correspondent Bruno on HBO's Da Ali G. Show.

-Sasha Cohen hopes to be sporting a gold medal after performing in the Women's Figure Skating long program in Turin, Italy, on Thursday; Sacha Baron Cohen is known for sporting gold chains when performing as his Ali G. character.

-Sasha Cohen incited patriotic American fans to chant "USA! USA!" after a short-program performance Tuesday that ranked first among the judges; Sacha Baron Cohen incited patriotic American fans to a near-riot when he mangled the national anthem at a Virginia rodeo while in character as clueless Kazakhstanian reporter Borat.

I know: They're very similar. We're here to help.

that sasha girl is a figure skater and the cohen person is weirdish and well borat but which one has the dick?

Anne C. Tue, Apr 25, 2006 at 03:16 AM EST

That is so hysterical. I almost bowled over in laughter when I saw the physical comparison of both Sasha and Sacha Baron Cohen. If I get depressed, I will remember that book marked photo and it will cheer me up!

wots everyone talking about?

Mark the Spark Fri, Feb 24, 2006 at 03:03 PM EST

OK....pojispear, your comment is proof of just because someone has a keyboard, that does not make them intelligent...
Your reply.."ok, Mark the Spark, like she even cares for 1 millisecond about you", yes, I do not know anyone named Cohen but I sure know what a dumb reply is. And yes, I speak the truth. As far as the American athletes go, don't buy the hype. Funny 'cuz I'm American but disdain the blah, blah, blah...
Too bad our Olympic program has a hard time teaching humility....

Sacha Baron Cohen Fri, Feb 24, 2006 at 02:29 PM EST

Wanna see my interview with Sasha Cohen?

Peter Morris Fri, Feb 24, 2006 at 02:27 PM EST

I bet Bruno would have at least got the Bronze.

Sasha should design hip-hop gear for Sacha!

What a load of crap....

Man, I hadn't noticed the Kabbalah string. That's all but totally ruined her for me. Sorry Sasha, between losing the gold and the red string, I'm forced to move on.

Karla Thu, Feb 23, 2006 at 04:22 PM EST

What's with her annoying Kabbalah string?

Stephanie Thu, Feb 23, 2006 at 03:31 PM EST

Yeah. I think that he is used to it so that is why he's usually known as Sacha Barron Cohen.

dma69 Thu, Feb 23, 2006 at 12:59 PM EST

I was waiting for someone to say something about the two Sachas.

Max Thu, Feb 23, 2006 at 12:34 PM EST

The first time I saw "Sasha Cohen" on the program I was really, really hoping that Bruno would skate out in some super-fab skating outfit and punk the whole world once and for all.

Nicky Thu, Feb 23, 2006 at 10:19 AM EST

Another coincy-dinky...

Sasha Baron Cohen was the voice of a small rodent-type animal in the animated Madagascar (brilliantly funny!) Whereas Sasha Cohen looks like a small rodent-type animal.

Rebecca Wed, Feb 22, 2006 at 11:50 PM EST

I would give anything to have Ali G or Borat do commentary on the Olympics, now if NBC did that, they just might get some ratings.....

Ned Wed, Feb 22, 2006 at 07:28 PM EST

Is that Virginia rodeo thing on the net anywhere? I'd like to see that, I love Borat, he single handedly ruined the political career of that nut in Mississippi when he got him to admit his true feelings about Jewish people on camera. The public owes him a debt of gratitude for that alone.

Stephanie Wed, Feb 22, 2006 at 06:17 PM EST

I am SO glad to know I'm not alone in my confusion. Not knowing or caring anything about figure skating (I know, I know …), I wondered why I kept hearing my beloved Borat's name everywhere lately. I thought, "Did he and Isla Fisher break up? Marry? Harm more paparazzi?"

Now I know. Thanks for dumbing it down for me.
