David Hasselhoff says new Knight Rider series will be a flop
By Behind The Scenes TV on Jun 27, 2008 in TV, TV Shows
Actor David Hasselhoff says the revamped version of his hit TV show Knight Rider won’t be a success without him.
Hasselhoff, 55, says he was disappointed with the pilot episode which aired in the USA in February and says the upcoming series this autumn is doomed to fail because he doesn’t have a star role in it.
The TV pilot earlier this year starred Justin Bruening as Michael Traceur, the estranged son of Hasselhoff’s original Knight Rider character Michael Knight. Hasselhoff made a cameo appearance as Michael Knight in the pilot.

Hey there - thanks for the link to my blog on Knight Rider. Wonder if Hasselhoff will stay in a bad mood over it. Just heard today that Val Kilmer will be the voice of the car, KITT. I wonder if they’ll find a way to put more of the Hoff in the show to keep him happy! Best wishes. David
Here’s the report that mentions Kilmer as KITT:
