New voice of KITT: Will Arnett?
Shapeshifter has been very kind to share what info he has from his connections with the NBC production (thank you!). But when he mentioned this I felt it deserved its own thread:
"I've also heard that the voice of KITT will be Will Arnett (Blades of Glory)."
I can't speak for Shapeshifter, and I want to be clear that he is not declaring this as fact. I'm just treating it as rumor and speculation at this point.
I like Will Arnett a lot (although he hasn't found the right breakthrough movie role yet.) He plays smug characters very well, which would tie in very nicely with the idea of KITT.
So IF this turns out to be true - again, no one is claiming it's a fact - I for one could be happy with it.

Michael, you're absolutely right. Until this gets confirmed in the trades, it should not be treated as fact. And I will admit that I'm not as sure about this call as I have been on some of the earlier calls I've made. After all, this is very important casting--the show will be greatly affected by this person, and I'd hate to get it wrong.
If the usual pattern holds, it should be confirmed (or proven not true) in the next few days.

Here are a couple of samples of his VO work.

He was quite good in Arrested Development, played arrogant really well. Because of that I'm curious how they're gonna have this KITTs personality be - jerky or like original KITT.
Those voice over samples give me good confidence for honoring KITT.
