Comedian Ali G was thrown out of the office of a US news presenter, according to the New York Post.

Andy Rooney from 60 Minutes, which airs on the CBS network in the US, was apparently furious when Ali G tricked him into a spoof interview.

Rooney allegedly kept on interrupting Ali, whose real name is Sacha Baron Cohen, in order to correct his grammar. Ali then accused Rooney of being racist as part of the joke.

Rooney was asked to take part in an interview for a "youth-oriented, educational, British show" and had no idea what he was getting himself into. He was told that the interview would be about pop culture.
