Seems like I'm the only person on the face of this Earth that finds him funny in this format.
Part of it is his giddiness. Maybe it doesn't apply so much to the whole world of Kotaku, but when's the last time you saw someone have THAT much fun doing their job (and if you want to say your Aunt the zoologist, realize my reply will be about the difference in their paychecks)?
@CockroachMan: Regardless of anyone's personal feelings about the guy, I think Cliff Blezinski would make a great guest - both for gaming and in general.
He is a good lookin', articulate maker of popular games who does not fit the stereotypical idea of a game dev or gamer (fat, lazy, etc.).
@BubbleF**kingBuddy: I think Natal has done well with those in the gaming and tech world, but I think it has made one stumble thus far - Good Morning America.
Who thought it was a good idea to showcase the painfully obvious work-in-progress project to that mainstream audience MS desperately wants to attract?
At this point, Microsoft is selling potential as opposed to a product. GMA watchers are not going to wait around for that potential to be realized and will likely instead hop on the Wii bandwagon (which has long standing word-of-mouth and fully-featured software).

When we were talking he mentioned how much more work it was to do the night show compared to SNL, which is weekly.
It's like doing a full week's worth of SNL every day, he said.

Specially great to see he talking about Brutal Legend.
He should bring the Scribblenauts people there..

With that being said, I wonder if he has a strong preference in console.

At least Horatio Sanz has always been good for a lau... nevermind.

Too bad Sony forgot how to hype anything. Their wands probably won't be penetrating many households.

Well, when I was a kid I stopped because if one of the wheels hit a 4-5mm pebble, the board would instantly and violently grind to a halt...
EA's Skate is fun though...
