Wonder what 'The Hoff' is doing tonight...
The series premiere of the new "Knight Rider" hits NBC tonight at 8 p.m. (Eastern time). My guess is that David Hasselhoff will be throwing a nice little soiree at his luxury compound on Pluto or wherever the Hoff lives these days.
Hasselhoff played "Michael Knight" in the original TV series, which lasted 90 episodes from 1982 to 1986. He made a short but fabulously cheesy cameo in the TV movie in February 2008 that introduced the show's new characters. (His son will now drive KITT.)
Want to know if the new series is worth watching? Keep watching the blog for an advance review of the show later this morning once I get a chance to sit down in my REO Speedwagon concert jersey, blue corduroys and pocket comb and let the goodness sweep over me.

What's he doing? Same as usual. Eating a cheeseburger off the floor...

The Hoff is rumored to possibly play some type of role in the series as well, at least that's what I read recently.

Thinks The Hoff will be consoling himself with a large cheeseburger while watching himself on BAYWATCH DVDs "I was good. I made those red trunks look good!"

Hoff's been a judge on America's Got Talent which airs live right after Knight Rider tonight. Coincidence? I think not.
