‘SNL’: Sacha Baron Cohen Brings ‘The Dictator’ to Weekend Update (Video)

Sacha Baron Cohen — as Admiral General Aladeen, of course — hit "Saturday Night Live" to promo "The Dictator." He even got Martin Scorsese to put in a plug.  

Say what you will about Sacha Baron Cohen. But when it comes to pushing a film — in this case his upcoming comedy "The Dictator" — he's relentless.

"Good evening America, and death to the West!" he told to "Zionist Seth Meyers" on the Weekend Update segment of "Saturday Night Live." He cited glowing reviews of his new film and even got director Martin Scorsese to put in a good word, albeit under the threat of torture.

"The Dictator" opens on May 16.
