At the 2012 Oscars, E!'s red carpet host Ryan Seacrest suffered an unforgettable prank when Sacha Baron Cohen, who arrived dressed as Admiral General Aladeen from The Dictator, poured the faux "ashes" of Kim Jong-il onto the interviewer's tuxedo. A few years later, in 2016, Cohen quickly popped up to say hello during Seacrest's interview with Lady Gaga. "What's in your hands? Check his hands," Seacrest joked.
