It's as puzzling that David Hasselhoff is such a worldwide hit, as it is that the French find Urkel so amusing. It took elective surgery (braved by Pamela Anderson, of course, not David Hasselhoff) to pique interest in Baywatch stateside.
Now as far as we at PicPal are concerned, cult status is deserved only by a certain few performers endowed with a unique combination of success and disappointment - a sort of stellar mediocrity that's actually harder to come by in media than you might at first think.
Let's compare two possible candidates:

David Hasselhoff possesses inhumanly chiseled good looks.Jack Scalia possesses inhumanly chiseled good looks.
David Hasselhoff has gotten more work on TV than in movies.Jack Scalia has gotten more work on TV than in movies.
David Hasselhoff appears on page 133 of Craig Nelson's compendium Bad TV, though Baywatch loses out to Cop Rock in the Bad Drama category.Jack Scalia is mentioned six separate times in the same book, with special attention given to The Curse of Jack Scalia thanks to his impressive track record of short-lived series.
David Hasselhoff finds a new love in nearly every episode of Baywatch, all of whom seem to succumb to some dire fate as soon as he lets his attention wander from each.Jack Scalia stays loyal to his ex-wife in Dark Breed even after she becomes infected by an alien parasite with an attitude as badass as Jack Nicholson's in Easy Rider.
David Hasselhoff's slickest mode of transport in Baywatch is one of those sand rovers lifeguards use on patrol.Jack Scalia travels in Dark Breed by space shuttle, by hanging with one hand from a speeding truck, and by being dragged along top speed in a detached satellite dish.
