Martin Lawrence is getting ready to go back on a blue streak. After having a box-office hit with the fourth installment of the Bad Boys franchise, Sony Pictures and Lawrence are in the early stages of bringing back another of his ‘90s comedies. According to Deadline, a sequel to Lawrence’s 1999 buddy comedy Blue Streak is in active development. While the original co-starred Luke Wilson opposite Lawrence, there’s no other talent attached to the project just yet. 

In the meantime, Sacha Baron Cohen brought back some familiar faces last night during an appearance on The Tonight Show. Jimmy Fallon asked the comedian how his most famous characters would moderate a presidential debate, and Cohen’s answer was demonstrative. Cohen slapped on Borat’s cartoonish mustache and Ali G’s signature skull cap and sunglasses to throw barbs at the presidential nominees while remaining in his respective characters. Borat’s revival came as a shock after Cohen went on the record back in 2021 to claim that doing that particular impersonation “got too dangerous.”

Over on the timeline, the comedy is flowing steady with no signs of stopping. Today’s funniest tweets include those about time-machine priorities, a Google feature we actually need and the dangers of making purchases on your phone.
