He was really funny (in character, of course) on the tonight show a few weeks ago interacting with Martha Stewart!

I've asked myself this question many times. I cringe every time the movie teasers come on TV. I'll probably end up watching it just to see what the hype is.

However I do have to mention that SBC is hot (when he looks like his normal self, such as in Talladega Nights: TBORB)

For me I find the actual character very funny, usually moreso than the unknowing participants.

Cohen is just great at staying in character and adapting to a situation so well.

I think that's huge part of it.
