Is David Hasselhoff The New Larry David? Probably Not, But He's Going To Try

David Hasselhoff will be hitting Dave with a brand new, six-part spoof reality TV show set to air in 2015. The show will feature a semi-fictionalised Hoff and has been described to be akin to Curb Your Enthusiasm in style.

There are three distinct possibilities for the Hoff’s new comedy venture: the show will be genuinely funny, garner critical praise and get a second season before the first one is out, probably on another network; or it’ll be unintentionally funny and get laughs because it’s a bit naff; or it’ll be the horrible, slow death of a cult hero. We’ve a horrible feeling the latter might be in store.

"When I made Baywatch I dreamed of one day having my own show on a channel named after me," Hasselhoff said in a statement. "Hoff the Record is coming soon to the UK, only on Dave. They did name the channel after me, right?"

Executive Producer Krishnendu Majumdar of Me & You Productions added: "We grew up watching David Hasselhoff on TV so we are thrilled to be working with such a legend and are amazed that he is game to play a jaw dropping version of himself for us. This is our first series for Dave and it's great to be on such a supportive broadcaster making an ambitious cutting edge comedy series."
