They are in the green room, waiting to come on as guests, while waiting they can view the show on a screen, and know they are being filmed, so it is expected they react. It serves two purposes 1) allow people to see who has yet to come on the show, 2) add a level of entertainment to the show.
Just to clarify, Jonathan Ross has a slight speech inpediment where he can't pronounce his r's. Also his accent is more Essex as he grew up in NE London in Leytonstone, which borders with Essex. The way he speaks is sometimes referred to as an 'Estuary' accent, describing how people sound living near the Thames estuary as the river leaves London along the Essex/Kent borders. Cockney is East London (typically spoken by Micky Flanagan).
@TheOrlandoTrustfull Of course he exaggerates it on stage for his stand up comedy. In normal speech he reverts to his normal, softer voice. For our American friends (watching these RUclips reaction videos), it helps providing a simple explanation, especially as its unlikely they've heard Micky speaking 'normally'.
Just watch SBC steal his scenes in Will Ferrell’s ‘Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby’. Brilliant. By the way, his brother Erran Baron Cohen is an award-winning composer and trumpet player.
He was in Sweeney todd with Johnny Depp, very good in that too. Johnathan Ross has an Essex/Estuary accent. Cockney is more like Micky Flanagan or Jason Stathan in the film Snatch
Hey Joel. To answer your question, the people sitting on the couch are the other guests that will be on the show that night - they are in a kind of holding room backstage waiting to come out and be interviewed
The 'holding room' you mention is always called the GREEN ROOM. Not really sure why, its a stage term I think. It is sometimes mentioned in all the main Interview Programs like Parkinson, Jay Leno and others.
Dude Stephen Fry and everyone else there were guests waiting the green room for their turn with Ross‼️ Definitely not there to "react" to Baron Cohen only‼️😂😂😂
Hey Joel! If you want to see SBC in a serious role, have a look at “The Spy”, a tv mini series, it’s a true story and he plays a Mossad Agent in it. It’s excellent and proves he has many talents. Also Stephen Fry and Romesh Ranganathan were also guests in the green room waiting to be called to stage!
Stephen Fry and Romesh Ranganathan are going to be interviewed by Jonathan Ross, and they’re just waiting in the wings to be interviewed, except they’re not in the Green Room but on camera. You’re right, they’re also there for the reactions.
Ali G with David and Victoria Becham. Them sitting on the sofa are also guests, they sit together in the green room to watch h the show until it's their turn to come out
I'm originally from Grimsby (got out as soon as I could), just realised I've never seen his film! I bet it's pretty accurate! (never visit, you might not escape again!)
Borat was hilarious, first time I saw him. Later I watched Ali G. (it's a movie as well), Brüno... Have you watched his series "Who Is America?"? It's also so funny (and scary). He was also in Sweeney Todd and Les Misérables, he's got a great singing voice, too.
Before leaving a comment I always flip through previous comments to make sure I'm not just repeating what someone else has already said....ie, The Green Room. The only serious part I've seen him play is as a rival Barber in "Sweeney Todd" with Johnny Depp & Helena Bonham Carter. He was brilliant & as it's a musical he had to sing in it. He's a strong character actor, maybe the British version of Jim Carrie.
I would definitely recommend watching the Bruno MMA fight. It is HILARIOUS watching the reactions of the audience. (I'm gay and I love it - I think some people might take offence at Bruno, but I don't.)
Bruno's genius. Serious guts at times in the early days. Especially when he goes and does the football game commentries. Getting in the showers and In the bath with them doing interviews. Brilliant.
To be specific, Johnathan Ross is not Cockney. He was born in St Pancras, which while in London, is not within earshot of st Mary le-Bow church situated in The Strand London. That's the qualification for being a 'Cockney'. His family moved to Leytonstone in East London ( just east of the 2012 Olympic village to give to a reference) so he has an east end accent combined with a slight ( Daffy Duck) lisp.
East End isn't cockney? Isn't the sound of Bow Bells thing a little too strict? I grew up in Leytonstone in the 50s and 60s, many living there had roots in the East End and had moved further east out of the tenements to have a nice terraced house with a little garden. Ross is a bit younger but still maybe grew up too early for his accent to be Estuary. I'd say his accent is East End or Cockney-ish depending on your definition.
You missed so many of the jokes. Just had a straight face when the whole audience was laughing at him lol it really shows that brits have a very different sense of humour to Americans lol
That's not a Cockney accent, Sweetie, but never mind because you're too adorable to criticize. Also, I have a friend who is Kazak and he laughs so hard, every time he hears "Borat," because he says he sounds exactly like his relatives when they speak English. So, job well done Sasha!
Not take his serious, most comedy is based on mocking serious problems, Cohens probably most serious rant can be heard in his movie "The Dictator", where Cohen in his dictator character (based on Gaddafi) gives a speech at the UN on the USA.
Lol..."that boy with Stephen Fry" (?!) Is Romesh Ranganathan pronounced: '_Rang_ a _nathan_' (a comedianm whose parents are originally from Sri Lanka - which he jokes about in his act, as he says he doesn't speak his parents' native language!) and he may (or may not?!) thankyou for referring to him as a youth?! Lol :)
A shame he got sacked from the movie 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' He'd have been a better Freddie Mercury than that idiot Malek. The director who was later sacked too. 10 years, 2 directors, 1 pile of false horseshit.
My mate used to be his dinner lady in Leicester xD Her name is juile and school is where the "ali g" persona was born. At the time he was mocking the way the asians in that area talk
Jonathan does not have a cockney accent but he famously does have a lisp.
He doesn’t have a lisp. He can’t pronounce the letter R. It’s not the same thing.
@lindawitt9063 ok speech impediment.
You should watch Sacha Baron Cohen as Ali G interviewing The Beckhams. It is one of the funniest interviews on RUclips!
They are in the green room, waiting to come on as guests, while waiting they can view the show on a screen, and know they are being filmed, so it is expected they react. It serves two purposes 1) allow people to see who has yet to come on the show, 2) add a level of entertainment to the show.

He's not a Cockney. He has a speech impediment!
Micky Flanagan doesn't actually speak like that. I am a Cockney, nobody I know speaks like they are deaf. He is emphasising it as a gimmick.
@TheOrlandoTrustfull Of course he exaggerates it on stage for his stand up comedy. In normal speech he reverts to his normal, softer voice. For our American friends (watching these RUclips reaction videos), it helps providing a simple explanation, especially as its unlikely they've heard Micky speaking 'normally'.
When he first came out as Ali G he interviewed politicians who absolutely didn't know😂
You got to watch the film grimsby with him in ..its filthy and really funny 😂😂
Just watch SBC steal his scenes in Will Ferrell’s ‘Talladega Nights - The Ballad of Ricky Bobby’. Brilliant.
By the way, his brother Erran Baron Cohen is an award-winning composer and trumpet player.
Sacha is a great comefian. So witty, funny and a very intelligent bloke.
He was in Sweeney todd with Johnny Depp, very good in that too.

You’ve got the watch the Ali G film ‘Ali G In Da House’
Dude Stephen Fry and everyone else there were guests waiting the green room for their turn with Ross‼️ Definitely not there to "react" to Baron Cohen only‼️😂😂😂
Probably the mildest performance is in the film Hugo. However is a very good film about one of the most famous early cinematographers
Stephen Fry and Romesh Ranganathan are guests waiting to come on. Da Ali G Show was comedy gold!
He's also great in serious dramatic roles like The Trial of the Chicago 7 and The Spy.
They are waiting to go and talk to Jonathan Ross 😂
Got to check out the movie grimsby brothers

That was fun, Joel. I've never seen him before as himself. Brilliant interview!!!
Ali G made a song called Me Julie with Shaggy, it's on spotify 😂
Been watching the content of your trip's and thoughts on the UNITED KINGDOM 🇬🇧
Love it boy like you was my family!
Great stuff and thanks again!

Oh and Joel, do some searching on the late great miss lily savage.
Borat was hilarious, first time I saw him. Later I watched Ali G. (it's a movie as well), Brüno... Have you watched his series "Who Is America?"? It's also so funny (and scary). He was also in Sweeney Todd and Les Misérables, he's got a great singing voice, too.
Sacha is definitely a brilliant comedian 😂😂😂😂😂 From Australia
Watched him play the dramatic lead in the 2019, 6 part series "The Spy". He was excellent in a straight acting role also.
Totally agree!
Very talented 👏
you gotta watch "Ali G In Da House" that movie is ridiculous
Before leaving a comment I always flip through previous comments to make sure I'm not just repeating what someone else has already said....ie, The Green Room.

He was also in "Les Misérables". He's got a great voice, he'd be a fantastic singer as well.
@hellemarc4767 I haven't seen les. I'll have to check that out. Thanks
2 amazing movies to watch:-
Ali G in Da House
Grimsby
Both are hilarious. :)
Borat does a good English accent.
I loved it when he was Bruno 😂
I could add lots of comments on you uploads. Don’t need to; always good. Thks x
I would definitely recommend watching the Bruno MMA fight. It is HILARIOUS watching the reactions of the audience. (I'm gay and I love it - I think some people might take offence at Bruno, but I don't.)
Bruno's genius. Serious guts at times in the early days. Especially when he goes and does the football game commentries. Getting in the showers and In the bath with them doing interviews. Brilliant.
That's not a cockney accent
Ross has a cocky accent
@barrymitchell6444
Jonathan has a 'Wossy' accent.
Its a London accent
Watch Bruno if you haven't seem it.
Joel, go watch Bruno.
Watch Grimsby it's hilarious.
Am from grimsby 😂😂
Grimsby is very funny and so over the top.
his borat voice is NIIIIIIICCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEE yes?
Ali g funniest moments , it’s about 10 minutes and he’s in America
Watch Grimsby :)
King Julien!!!

Hello Joel. Is you serious?
You missed so many of the jokes. Just had a straight face when the whole audience was laughing at him lol it really shows that brits have a very different sense of humour to Americans lol
Watch ‘who is America’. Funny as fuc*.
That's not a Cockney accent, Sweetie, but never mind because you're too adorable to criticize. Also, I have a friend who is Kazak and he laughs so hard, every time he hears "Borat," because he says he sounds exactly like his relatives when they speak English. So, job well done Sasha!

Cohen is a decent man and very funny.
He's a Front-Wheel Skid
thats not cockney
The film Grimsby is as funny as all of Sasha's films. Gloriously wrong on so many levels. But fantastically hilarious.
Ross does not have a cockney accent …. London yes but not cockney , cockney is very thick and they use very different words
Stephen Fry and Co. are sitting in another room (it may be the Green Room, I’m not sure) waiting for their turn to be interviewed.
You are a cute boy,,!!
Restectpa
Respec ya nan
His outfit is how American look and stil on this day the dress like that American no style and class
J. Ross interviews his guests in turn. He's already interviewed Stephen Fry etc, so they just stay on set to watch the later interviews.
why does everyone call him borat first... that is the worst film he has done. first thing that comes to mind should be ali g
It depends how old you are
@annother3350 i guess thats true alot of the younger crowd would go to borat.
Lol..."that boy with Stephen Fry" (?!) Is
Romesh Ranganathan pronounced:
'_Rang_ a _nathan_' (a comedianm whose parents are originally from Sri Lanka - which he jokes about in his act, as he says he doesn't speak his parents' native language!) and he may (or may not?!) thankyou for referring to him as a youth?! Lol :)

If you want to choke laughing, watch the Grimsby elephant scene on here.
My mate used to be his dinner lady in Leicester xD Her name is juile and school is where the "ali g" persona was born. At the time he was mocking the way the asians in that area talk
That is nonsense. He attended school in St Alban’s and London.
The irony of a talented British Jew mocking a dumb Muslim - Ali G!
Irony or standard?
