David Hasselhoff has teased that he might be involved in a future Knight Rider reboot.
David Hasselhoff was one of the biggest stars of TV’s yesteryear, thanks in no small part to his work on the massive shows Baywatch and, of course, Knight Rider. There was an attempt to bring Knight Rider back in 2008 without Hasselhoff, despite the actor’s interest.
“We talked about another series about eight to nine years ago,” Hasselhoff told The Mirror in a recent interview. “But they wanted to do it without me.
“I even said I didn’t have to be the lead. I didn’t even need to be in it that much, I could cameo or something, but they didn’t listen. I wanted to tell them what the morals behind Knight Rider were, the morals behind Baywatch and why they worked!”
Hasselhoff said he realised more clearly what made these shows so popular in the first place due to a conversation he had on his honeymoon: “I was on my honeymoon and this guy said to be ‘You know why Knight Rider is so popular?’ so I said ‘Why?’ He told me ‘You put your morals into Knight Rider and into Baywatch, that’s why they are popular.’ I thought, yes that’s true!
“I don’t need to be brave and fight like Knight Rider, or swim like in Baywatch, it’s not that, it’s about why they do it.”
When asked if Knight Rider could come back with him involved, the actor teased: “I’m not supposed to say anything, but stay tuned. The Knight Rider will ride again!”
