This morning Bruno visited the Today Show only to have an apparent snafu on air six minutes in and have the show quickly cut to commercial.

Some might say that Letterman, being the BAMF that he is, told Cohen to drop the act but back when Cohen was promoting Borat, Letterman didn’t seem to mind him staying in character. Here’s a comparison of Cohen as himself on Letterman recently and Cohen as Bruno on the Today Show this morning:
