Heh, this is going to be ugly but I wonder if they'll get William Daniels to do something for it.
The new and again improved evil's advertisement is currently too long and too badass to display here. But let's just say that with now 50% more evil, this **** is great!
Talk about a funny coincidence. I was just saying to a friend last week, "Wonder why they never had a roast for David Hasselhoff. They did one for Bob Saget."
Wouldn't it just suck if they didn't even mention Knight Rider or have any of the people from the show like William, Patricia or Glen involved in the roast and instead they just had Pamela Anderson there and spent the majority of the time making Baywatch jokes? Either way, I hope someone from here is going to record this and host it... I don't have cable anymore. Who needs it when ya got Hulu... =P
I'm sure Knight Rider will come up, they're using a version of the theme for the commercials.

A buddy of mine (and KOTWC member), Nate Truman founder of Star Car Central had his N8Rider KITT (Same one used at Pinks) filmed with David for Comedy Central's upcoming promos. Here's his blurb about it
"The Hoff smears cheeseburgers into my headlights, and dances on the roof, hit KITT with a hose over and over soap scum all over the car.... and I am OK with that! Comedy Central Roast promos shot yesterday, and the Hoff asked for my car specifically! He signed KITT too."
