Why do Americans love Dick Clark? Or Paris Hilton?
These are people who have no obvious talent, but nonetheless possess celebrity. The nature of celebrity is hard to define, and whole books have been written on the phenomenon. Personally, I think it is just exposure and positioning and association of the individual with things that are enviable or attractive.
This would include Hasselhoff's lifelong association with high-end vehicles (KITT the supercar), beach babes (Baywatch) and gadgets (those awful spy movies he did). Sort of a German idealized male.

As I watched America's Got Talent I often wondered the same thing- Can't really sing and not that great looking- just average.

Germany is one of the first markets you would want to go to, to start a music career if you wanted to go international.
Hasslehoff, is a pretty decent singer and is actually beter than some of the socalled 'superstars' we have now.

It's because of this that Germans don't count. So, in reality, you never asked this question.
