David Hasselhoff
Baywatch star David Hasselhoff was a brave man to sit in the hot seat during Comedy Central's Roast of David Hasselhoff. Friends of the Baywatch star — including Pamela Anderson, Jerry Springer and Hulk Hogan — did not hold back on publically ribbing of their pal. After making a mockery of his acting and singing career, roasters weren't shy about ridiculing Hasselhoff's troubles with alcohol and the now-infamous "cheeseburger" video. ...

David Hasselhoff
In commercials for the Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff (airing Sunday, August 15, 10/9c), the actor gamely acknowledges the abundance of material that is likely to be slung at him at the legendary no-holds-barred event: Knight Rider, Baywatch, the undying devotion of his German fans to his music and, of course, "the video." That's the infamous clip from 2007 in which one of Hasselhoff's two daughters pleads with her shirtless, intoxicated father to stop drinking, all while he munches on a hamburger. It will all be easy fodder for confirmed roasters like...

Posted by lilacgirl57...Jeers and jeers again to the audience of America's Got Talent. I was afraid this would happen with Jerry Springer as host, and I was right. They are as obnoxious and out-of-control as the crazies Jerry has on his own show. Please settle them down, and let the judges do their job. The audience distracts the viewer from the talent (or lack thereof) on the stage. MAKE THEM STOP!!!• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine!

Piers, Sharon, The Hoff and Jerry are back in Atlanta to start off week four.Billy Dodson - He's big, he's burly, he's imposing. He gets on stage and sings...soprano? Three quick X's.Alex Pyles - A 10-year-old cutie with a great southern accent. She comes out on stage with her father, and they perform a combination of acrobatics, gymnastics and self-defense. I mean, they are hurling each other around the stage and kicking the you-know-what out of each other (with very light contact). Piers gives 'em an instant X. Sharon and The Hoff are intrigued. Piers asks a very valid question: how can this act help you win the competition? Sharon asks if Alex and her Dad are sent on to Vegas, how can they build upon this act in the upcoming weeks? Alex: "I would bring in more people and fight off more attackers because it's not always one person who attacks you." Can't argue with that. She wins Sharon over and they're headed to Vegas.Sarah Lenore - She comes out with her guitar and belts out Car...
