In case you missed it, Sacha Baron Cohen made a rare appearance as himself on Tuesday night’s Letterman after a two-month-long media blitz in character as Bruno. This will thankfully prevent the character from wearing too thin before our nation’s fratboys have even had a chance to quote it into the ground. Won’t someone please think of the fratboys?!

It’s great to see Cohen lay back in this interview and give us an inside peak into the very real threats he faces every day in costume. There’s a strange meta moment when, in reference to tracking down an actual terrorist for the movie, Dave asks Cohen if Bruno has connections in the CIA. Cohen just responds, “Well, no, but I do.” It’s good to know that the man behind the kugelsac is actually as resourceful and fearless as we all hoped he was.
