David Hasselhoff Gets Roasted for Career, Cheeseburger Incident

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.

Ready to be Roasted: David Hasselhoff Says "Bring it on!"

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...

Jerry Springer Goes Back to School

Salacious talk-show ringleader Jerry Springer is headed back to (gasp!) college. He won't be a student, but a lecturer (and boy, can he tell you a few things about transsexual dwarves). Springer's Jerry Goes Back to School Tour hits nine cities starting Jan. 23, 2008 at Miami's Florida International University, and details his talker's most outrageous moments."It should be fun since [college kids] are the basis of our audience," Springer told TV Guide between tapings of his long-running Chicago-based series. "I like to speak at college campuses but I usually do it on political issues, so I thought it'd be fun to talk about the show." Is this part of the new warm-and-fuzzy Springer spied earlier this year on Dancing with the Stars? Springer admits his public image softened with his stint on the ABC show because it "was the first time I've ever been on television as myself. I was always playing a role before &dmash; crazy talk-show host or mayor [of Cincinnati, Ohio]  and you ad...

Come one, come all! Jerry Springer the ringleader talks to TV Guide about helming NBC's great talent-show circus, America's Got Talent (premiering tonight at 9 pm/ET). TV Guide: Lawyer. Mayor. Talk-show host. Dancer. Like Madonna, you keep reinventing yourself. Why? Jerry Springer: I keep hearing that. It used to be, "Hey, man, I like your show." Now it's "I loved you on Dancing with the Stars." I was just a basic old schlub like everybody else, trying to dance. I think that surprised people. TV Guide: Now you're the new host of America's Got Talent. How has the latest rendition of Jerry Springer been received? Springer: [Laughs] Suddenly it's "good old Jerry." [Since] Dancing with the Stars, the networks have

"What I liked about it was that it was about something very substantive," he told TVGuide.com on the red carpet for American Idol's finale. "It wasnt about hairstyles and all that stuff. It really was about something thats important. It was pretty electric."Springer  himself a replacement for Regis when America's Got Talent returns  thus fears The View may take a ratings hit once Rosie leaves. "We'll see who they get [to take O'Donnell's place]."  Additional reporting by Michael MaloneyPOLL: Last chance to "pick teams" before I forward the results to the magazine!

How NBC Will Spend Our Summer Vacation: Getting Real

Whoever said the reality-TV craze was over obviously hasn't talked to the suits at NBC. This summer, the Peacock will be feathering its nest with three returning reality shows and yet another new one. First up is America's Got Talent, which kicks off on May 29 with incoming ringleader Jerry Springer (sans bodyguards... I assume). Next, the fifth cycle of Last Comic Standing premieres June 13, with Bill Bellamy as host. Frosh date-a-thon Age of Love, fronted by Mark Consuelos (aka Mr. Kelly Ripa), bows June 18. And last but not least, The Biggest Loser hits the treadmills in late summer, with Days of our Lives' minx Alison Sweeney presiding over the weighting game.
