David Hasselhoff was on HLN’s Showbiz Tonight this evening to promote his new movie, The Christmas Consultant. He also took part in the Showbiz Countdown which asked the question, “Brilliant or bananas?” on 3 celebrity-related stories. Take a look.
I haven’t been able to find David’s appearance on Hallmark’s Home and Family, so I decided to record it from my TV. Apologies for the quality, hope you enjoy it.
Melissa Chapman from Lifetime Moms interviewed David Hasselhoff yesterday about his new movie, The Christmas Consultant and asked him about parenting and his charity work.
In this light hearted comedy, a workaholic couple with four quirky kids hire a sought after, over-the-top, male Christmas consultant (David Hasselhoff) to help get them through the holidays. And -after screening the film I can assure you- the Hoff does not disappoint. He totally has over-the-top down to a science in this role and kicks Lifetime’s movie holiday season off into high gear. We caught up with him, before he headed back to Europe- where his rock star stage shows are in high demand!
What convinced you to star in this Lifetime movie?
DH: It all came together rather organically. Lifetime has always been a special place to me because of a picture I did for CBS which was rerun on Lifetime called “One True Love”. Ratings went through and the film was an opportunity for people to see me play a real character. So working on the “Christmas Consultant” was a chance for me to get back in touch with that audience–and the decision to do so was truly a no-brainer. I love the Lifetime audience and I think this character, while he’s kind of corny, is also really cute and funny and one kids will relate to as well. I like doing it all – the live performances, TV and yes even the crazy toilet humor– but I truly loved working on this movie because it was a chance for me to get back to my acting roots and play a real character, which is my first love.

The Hoff, David Hasselhoff is back on TV with his new holiday movie “The Christmas Consultant” premiering Saturday November 10th at 8 on Lifetime. Even though it’s been 26 years since his first hit show “Knight Rider” went off the air, many of the children of the 80s still know and love David best for cruising around in his talking car KITT wearing his sweet leather jacket and fighting bad buys.
So, how long has it been since he actually got behind the wheel of KITT and took him for a spin? “I have my own KITT car, which is now being chromed and I just drove it last Sunday. It was given to me as a gift from my staff for my 60th birthday,” David tells us. “I have the original dash and I have a lot of original stuff…we just put it all together.”
The largest holiday stunt in the network’s history, It’s a Wonderful Lifetime will run from early November through December, during which Lifetime will telecast more than 50 holiday-themed films that capture everything about the holiday spirit.
Set to kick off It’s a Wonderful Lifetime on Saturday, November 10, at 8:00pm ET/PT is the Lifetime Original Movie The Christmas Consultant, starring David Hasselhoff as a sought after consultant hired by a workaholic mother played by Caroline Rhea to get her and her family through the holidays. What she doesn’t bargain for are his taking over her role as head of the household and when Christmas and family collide, she realizes hiring him was the best decision she has ever made.
David Hasselhoff needs no introduction. This American actor made waves in India in the late 80s and the 90s with his stint, first in the hit TV series Knight Rider and then again, with Baywatch. Chennai Times gets chatting with the actor who will be appearing in a new film Piranha 3DD.
Can you tell us about your role inPiranha 3DD?
I play the role of David Hasselhoff. There was a lot of competition out there but I won the role! I took a little training to play David Hasselhoff. I’m very excited to play him. He is one of my favorite actors and all time hero; so to play him is kind of to live up to the expectation was a little nerve racking. But I think I pulled it off. I went into a deep trance, and every night I meditated, and I read David Hasselhoff’s book to try to find out who he was about.
It’s kind of the dark side of David Hasselhoff, and I enjoyed playing that and especially not wanting to rescue the ginger little moron kid. And not making any of the rescues — I just thought it was the funniest thing ever!
Aren’t you annoyed that your past few appearances in movies have been as a celebrity guest, mostly playing yourself?
I think it’s funny playing David Hasselhoff. And it works because I was able to play David Hasselhoff, and kind of get to the essence of him.
How was the experience shooting for the film?
It was amazing. The cast and crew were so creative. I got to take a piranha home with me. It’s in my house now. And it’s strange because every time I try to feed it, it’s pretty scary. I got a little blood in my eye once, but I kept going. I’m a hero! There were so many girls in such a good shape that it looked like Baywatch on steroids. It was living in 3D moment every time you go to the pool. It was distracting at times like, ‘Oh my God! What’s that?’ But it was more fun watching everyone in the pool get… eaten by the fish. And there was a lot of blood.
What’s next on the cards?
I’ve got a film in development called Jungle Brats, which is like Goonies. I’ve got a movie coming out called The Christmas Consultant. It’s really a big role. It’s the lead. So things are really turning around for me.
Would you ever consider doing a new Knight Rider Movie?
I’m actually looking to try to bring back Knight Rider.
Have you watched any Indian films before?
Does Slumdog Millionaire count? Yes, I have watched several.
What are your first thoughts when you hear India?
I think I could live off of Indian food! I love it all, especially the chicken korma! I would love to have any reason to come to India. I am ready to come to the India … so call me!
