He's a serious actor as well though. You can't just judge him by those characters, which I think are funny anyway. You're all talking as if he really is an evil dictator!
TBH, I wouldn't be suprised if Ryan Seacrest wasn't in on it. He's a media ***, the publicity would be good for him as well as Sacha. What makes me suspicious is that he missed his hair, so in effect Seacrest only needed a spare suit to change into.
I thought the organisers were contacting SBC to find out his plans before inviting him to the ceremony?
I like him in some stuff, not so much in others, he's made a hell of a lot of money from such characters so if he's playing to his audience then that's the way to do it. Paul Kaye done the same with Dennis Pennis and his career's been far more successful since then. At least he's not as cringey as Ricky Gervais!!
