David Hasselhoff: I Didn't Invent The Hoff

David Hasselhoff spoke to Yahoo! about his latest gig, not taking yourself too seriously, and, really, whatever else he wanted to talk about.

I was hoping you could explain this partnership with Clorox a little bit to me. The tone of this thing is a lot of fun. You know, my name is Hasselhoff, so I took the "hassel" out of the "hoff," and I [became] The Hoff. Now I'm taking the hassle out of cleaning and it’s a way to kind of interact with my fans and get in people’s faces in a fun way. There's has a new platform called Homejoy where you can actually order a maid. Actually, you can order topless maids out here in Hollywood, but they won’t let me do that. They sent me their ideas for the commercials and they’re kind of stupidly funny and overly crazy like my character The Hoff is. They don’t make any sense but they’re funny.

A lot of celebrities are doing the self-deprecating thing, but I feel like you were one of the first people who was willing to joke about yourself.When stuff comes out about you that sometimes can be devastating to your career, you either take it seriously or you slough it off and laugh at it and move forward. And I laughed at it because, 'Oh my God, they’re making this into such a big deal. Well, I’m going to make it into a big deal,' and so then it just spirals out of control. It’s like The Hoff, I didn’t invent The Hoff, The Hoff was invented by some secretaries in Australia and then they made all these jokes about, you know, Hasselhoff and "Hoffalicious" and "Hoff-crazy." And so I went down to Australia and they thought I would be offended and I wore a T-shirt that said "Don’t Hassle The Hoff." Bam! This brand has just taken off.Now are you really going to be cleaning people's homes? Yeah, I think that’s hysterical. I’ve done this before where I just knock on people's doors and they open the door and I go, "Hi! It's The Hoff! I’m here to help you clean. You want some help?" It's just really fun. I’ve been doing that basically all my life. I actually started when I was literally jogging in the Bahamas. A lady came out to get her mail and she said, "Oh, it's Knight Rider!" I said, "How are you? Got anything to drink in there? It's so hot here in the Bahamas." "Come on in, Knight Rider. Come on in!" Next thing I know, I’m in their house, her whole family comes home, the kids come home from school, it's just the loveliest family from the Bahamas and I ended up [going out that night] with the daughter to the blackest club ever. You know, I can get myself into any situation.Are you going to sing while you scrub? That's not a bad idea...

Yeah, give them a little jingle or something. That might make it fun. Maybe I can create the new Clorox jingle. [singing] Take the hassle out of cleaning when you pump and clean.

And then there are the royalties, so you'll be good to go for years.The royalties aren't important. The one thing in life I don't need are the royalties. The reason I do these things is because they’re fun, they’re entertaining, and they reach a wide audience. It’s funny, videos now, honest to God, I don’t think I’ve done any network videos. I’ve done now like 32 or 33 Internet ones and they just go wacko.

It's the future right? It's also the future of television. I have a film coming out called Killing Hasselhoff and that’ll probably go to Netflix and I have a TV series called Hoff the Record, it’s all going to be on the Internet and that’s what I want because then you can take your telephone, plug it into any television set around the world, and that's it. I live off my telephone, watching television series on the airplane.

If you could spring clean anything out of your career, what would it be?Well, there’s a lot of things I'd like to spring clean out of my personal life that have to do with women, but out of my career, no. I’ve made some notoriously bad choices that have always turned into hits. My last manager, I think we fired each other over [my decision to do] Piranha 3DD. I thought it was a hysterically bad movie and I said, "I have to be in this, it's so bad." And it turned out to be this huge hit. I got so many kids from Comic-Con going, "Man, I love that movie. I’ve watched it like five times." There's an audience out there for everything.

[Hollywood] wanted me to change the name Hasselhoff, but I kept the name because I took so much crap for it in high school and now Hasselhoff has made me a fortune. It’s just amazing that I kept it and, honest to God, I kept it because I thought, No, my mom and dad gave me this name, I’m not going to change my name, and I think I’ve gained a little payback now.

See It. Believe It. Live It. David Hasselhoff at Cambridge Union

Cambridge UnionToday, David Hasselhoff visited the Cambridge Union in the UK to talk to students. The press release talks about what happened during the speech he gave.

On Saturday 24th May, David Hasselhoff visited the Cambridge Union to talk tomembers about his career as a singer, actor, and entertainer. Despite the pressures ofan examination term event, he attracted a large and enthusiastic audience whocrowded in to see the Knight Rider and Baywatch star.The event kicked off with a five-minute video documenting the life of ‘The Hoff’, andhis rise to fame on the back of the international success of both Knight Rider andBaywatch, before reminding the Chamber of the great array of activities he had takenon during his decades in the entertainment industry.Mr. Hasselhoff entered the historic chamber to roaring applause from the assembledstudents. The discussion started off with an exposé of the ‘Brand of The Hoff’ andhow it had developed: “The Hoff father got Hoff with my mother because he thoughtshe was Hoff stuff,” he jested. There was, however, clearly more work that went into‘The Hoff’ brand. Life is a “bizarre, spiritual, universal psychic path,” Mr. Hasselhofftold us, and to get ahead we need to “see it, believe it, and live it.” This positivitypervaded the rest of his speech, a running theme that seemed to unite the vast array ofpursuits ‘The Hoff’ has undertaken during his lifetime.Mr. Hasselhoff told us that Knight Rider, in particular, meant a lot to his audience, asit showed people how to “make a difference in your own life”. He went on to tell usthat, “thirty years later it’s all coming true.” And it really did seem to be, with ‘TheHoff’ telling the audience how Google created a talking car, and in true Knight Riderfashion, offered him a test drive.With these things, however, Mr. Hasselhoff tells us it’s not just luck. “Luck is beingprepared for opportunities when it presents itself,” he goes on. “Although a lot ofsolace can be found in coffee,” he smiles, “as without coffee I don’t think this couldbe true.” This drew an audibly empathic response from students in the midst of theirexaminations terms.In terms of future projects, Mr. Hasselhoff is clearly busy. He told assembledmembers how his plans for his new movie, ‘Killing Hasselhoff’, had been confirmednot 24 hours before speaking to the Union, telling them that he wanted to finish thewhole production in 25 days. Usually, he said, “film is like watching grass grow,” buthe pointed out that that was what was great about Baywatch; they could move a lotfaster than that because they owned the show.Overall the event was a lively one; and audience members were engaged and, in thecase of the long-term Knight Rider fans, largely in awe. The overwhelming messagewas positivity and an ability to get out and go change things. “See it, believe it, live it,”he reiterated, exiting to yet another roar of applause.

Hasselhoff: en svensk Talk Show

Swedish Talk Show

Show premiere date: February 24, 2014Taping: January 15 - 23, 2014Channel: TV3 in SwedenWebsite: http://tv3.se/hasselhoffFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/hasselhofftalkshowtv3Tickets: Click here to buy ticketsGuests: TBAKeep an eye on David Hasselhoff's Twitter and Instagram for more pictures and videos.Description:The U.S. has Leno and Letterman. Sweden has Skavlan and ... Hasselhoff. David Hasselhoff is no Skavlan. He is something else entirely.He is behind the world 's most successful TV series. He has been a sex symbol for over 30 years. He is one of the world's most famous people. Now it's time for him to get his own talk show. A self- Swedish talk show."So, tell me, why are you famous?" Hasselhoff's patented opening question says a lot about the program. The host does not have much relation to Sweden. Or Swedish celebrities. Whether they called Reinfeldt, Persbrandt, Häggkvist or Pärson. But Hasselhoff takes his role as host seriously. He really wants to get to know Sweden, Swedish culture and their Swedish guests. Just this concept is the program's core. Here is an opportunity for other issues, a different form of curiosity, sincerity and humor.Hasselhoff - a Swedish talk show is, in many ways, a classic talk show with famous guests, pre-recorded elements and exclusive artist performances. But still, no classical. Everything is completely different. And everything in Hasselhoffs Swedish talk show is obviously in English.Video interviews and articles:

David Hasselhoff at New College Nottingham

David at New College Nottingham

“NCN presents The Hoff” said the cinema-style backdrop in Screen 1 as the star grabbed a microphone and launched the college’s week-long Jamcon creative careers week by reflecting on his own career and giving 300 TV, film and media students some tips for the future.It helps if you’re lucky, he told them. “But remember that luck is being prepared for opportunity whenever it presents itself.”Before giving his off-the-cuff talk to students, The Hoff set out his plans for the immediate future.Next week he flies to Sweden to record Hoff Half Hour, a talk show that will be screened on Sky. Other upcoming projects include the film Killing Hasselhoff – a comedy in which a hitman is hired to bump him off – and the Discovery Channel documentary Shark Week.There is also talk of reinventing the character The Hoff as a superhero, whose special powers will include slow-motion sight and the ability to travel back in time.During his talk, the cult performer reflected on a career that has embraced TV smashes Knight Rider and Baywatch, documentaries, film roles and success on the concert stage and recording studios.“Life is about overcoming your fears,” he told the students. “Life is not fair, and I’m still learning that, but if you don’t feel sorry for yourself and move forward, it’s OK.”Asked about the best piece of advice he had ever received, The Hoff replied: “Never give up!”“He was really motivating and made me feel I can achieve anything,” said Sandra Tkacz [correct] , 19, of Aspley. “You can be tempted to give up on a dream but today I felt: ‘Why not?’”Ashley Carter, 16, of Arnold, added: “The Hoff is an inspiration to young people and shows them that they can do anything if they put their minds to it.”

David Hasselhoff Guest Edits the Nottingham Post

David at Nottingham Post: Photographer Angela WardCelebrity royalty David Hasselhoff took time out from his hectic theatre schedule to guest edit the Nottingham Post today.Arriving by chauffeur-driven car outside City Gate East on Thursday afternoon, The Hoff came in and gave us his opinion on the paper and all things Nottingham.He said he loves Nottingham because he can walk around freely."The city is like a pot pourri," he said. "Everyone is just getting along."And Su Pollard, he told us, embodies the spirit of Nottingham herself."She is always on - always positive," he said.We told him where the big parties are on New Year's Eve, and he said he might go down to Old Market Square.Hasselhoff also sampled the local speciality - Stilton - and said he loved it.

The Hoff is working up the boos and hisses as panto villain Captain Hook at the Theatre Royal. So, “how is he enjoying Nottingham?” he was asked at the morning conference.“Nottingham is like a pot pourri. You can see a posh professor walking down the street next to some hippy guy with hair growing in all weird places and tattoos all over him... and everyone is getting along.“It’s everything I thought it would be and more. People are lovely. They kind of leave me alone. In Manchester they were aggressive. I couldn’t go anywhere.“It helps that it’s dark here all day long. That works in my favour. What time is it? Two o’clock? It’s dark outside! That’s nuts!”So what about some special excursions?“Hayley [Roberts, his Welsh girlfriend] and Nick [Corjon, his PA and nephew] have been out scouting the city. I’m waiting for my daughters to get here on the 21st and I’ll take them to the hot spots.“We’ll go the caves. I learned that Nottingham was the last place in the country that still had cave dwellers. And I think I’ve met many of them! And we’re going to the Castle.”
