Yes, that’s an Ali G reference.

Sacha Baron Cohen along with his company partner Andrew Newman have started their own production company Spelthorne Community Television that will, as you’d expect, develop bold and ambitious comedy. 

Right now, they’ll be based in the UK with a bit of a stake from UK network Channel 4, but don’t be surprised, given Cohen’s success in the U.S., to see series from Spelthorne Community TV stateside in the not so distant future.
