twitterHasselhoff to rock the Las Vegas Bowl
Tue, Dec 16, 2008 (9 p.m.)
Hasselhoff's hit single, 'Jump in My Car'
Hasselhoff's infamous drunken stupor
David Hasselhoff will perform the National Anthem at Saturday's Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl.
Yes, you read that correctly.
David "The Hoff" Hasselhoff, best known for his roles as Michael Knight in the original "Knight Rider" and Mitch Buchannon in "Baywatch," will serenade the sold-out Sam Boyd Stadium crowd this weekend with his rendition of the National Anthem.
BYU and Arizona fans can hope it is as catchy as Hasselhoff's most recent single, "Jump in My Car," which topped European charts with more than 6 million downloads.
Organizers of the 17th Las Vegas Bowl announced their selection Monday morning.
To the Bowl Committee's credit, the Guinness Book of World Records does list "The Hoff" as the "most watched TV star in the world."
Hasselhoff, 56, serves as a judge alongside Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan on NBC's "America's Got Talent." He also appeared in the Las Vegas production of Mel Brooks' musical "The Producers" in 2006.
"The Hoff" recently made headlines for an Internet video showing the entertainer in a drunken stupor eating a Wendy's hamburger shirtless on the floor of a Las Vegas hotel room in May 2007. In the video, he launches expletives at his daughter, Taylor Ann.
Kickoff for the Las Vegas Bowl is set for 5 p.m. Saturday. ESPN will broadcast the game to a national television audience.

DAVIS Hasselhoff????? Has he changed his name? Where's your proofreaders!!?
Nothing like getting drunk-taking off your shirt & eating wendy's. Knight Rider was the one TV show that actually was worse than Gilligans Island.
"Hasselhoff to rock..."
No, he wont! David does not rock. David never has rocked, nor will he rock in the future. And with all due respect to Mr. Hasselhoff, you should apologize to rock for what you said!
