At the Beach with "The Hoff"

Welcome to YoungHollywood. com. RJ Williams here and we are at the Polaroid Beach House with the one and only David Hasselhoff.

Tell us a bit about the event.

Right now it's called Chance for Children and that's been bringing hundreds of kids from all over the inner city to the beach to learn to become lifeguards and learn about self-esteem and learn to swim and show that for a day that somebody cares to help them out where it's hot, muggy, and sometimes homeless and bring them out to the beach and say, "Hey, you know, come on, it's a win-win situation."

So, now you've got the number one show in America with America's Got Talent. What's it like being back on top?

You know what? It's fantastic. It's really put a lot of people on the map with crazy talent from singing to dancing to ventriloquism, anything kind of goes and and this year it's been phenomenal. It's all about heart, it's all about helping somebody.

You've been doing the singing, you've been doing the play, you've been doing television, but now suddenly you're an author. Tell us about the book, how did that come about? Don't Hassel the Hoff.

And they came up with the name Don't Hassel the Hoff because of my t-shirts. The book is really about the truth. You mean whatever you see in a television, in the tabloids where someone's exploiting your personal life or my children is not cool. So what I did is I wrote a book to say, this is who I am. I am a human being, I'm a father and I'm a I make mistakes, but it's not how long you're down, it's how quickly you get back up.

The one thing I'm really curious about this nickname The Hoff. Like who created it, how did it happen because it's become this huge phenomenon now.

Started with IC. Somebody called IC and said, "Can you make David Hasselhoff a rapper?" He goes, "Yeah, don't Don't Hassel the Hoff. IC." I've never met IC. He used to drink IC. Just Google my name if they want to find the Hoff. It's everywhere now. It's unbelievable. They have everything from The Hoffather to Gandhoff to Desperate Hoffwives to

So we're here with David Chokachi. Now how how often do you actually hang out with your your former Baywatch cast family?

He usually has a Super Bowl little fiesta every year. If we're all in town, we go to that and kind of we all piecemeal like whatever, whoever's around, we'll try and force each other to get together. But yeah, dude, we gotta go back to the back to the beach, back to Tower 12 and start saving some lives, you know what I mean?

America's Got Talent, number one show in America. Have you had a chance to check out the show? You seen America's Got Talent?

Yeah. He's great on it. It's hilarious.

So, if you were to go on the show, what would your talent be?

You know, I'm I'm really I think I would bomb really quickly on that show and get torn up by David and Sharon Osbourne like in a flash.

What would David's talent be?

David's talent David's talent would be probably just walking out there because he's so damn good-looking. You know, just go out there and flex his abs. We just have an abs show, you know.
