It’s certainly been a slow news day, but sometimes it’s more about quality than quantity, and what news could be better than a report on a new scripted reality show documenting the surreal life of being The Hoff. According to Variety (via Defamer):
E! is getting ready to spin some “Tales of the Hoff,” a Ryan Seacrest-produced scripted comedy starring David Hasselhoff. The project — part of E!’s previously announced move toward adding scripted programming into its mix — will follow the fictional dark and twisted trials and tribulations of an international icon as he navigates Hollywood and the world of dating after divorce.[...]
Hasselhoff will play the title role in the project, which insiders said will have a “Curb Your Enthusiasm” feel.
The Hoff + The Crest + Cameras = Televised Ecstasy. And that fevered buzzing sound you’re hearing right now? That’s every TiVo in America getting an electronic erection for us to record and watch and re-watch this show, over and over, until every succulent morsel of Seacrest-enhanced Hoffishness has been drunkenly shoved into our mouths while rolling around drunk on our living room floors. Who gives a sh*t about watching Larry David wander around and whine about samples when we can behold His Royal Hoffness engaging in behavior that’s been somehow even more exaggerated than his usual Hoff-jinx? What greater gift could the TV Gods possibly give us!?!
