Wonder what 'The Hoff' is doing tonight...

SEPTEMBER 24, 2008

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.
