Video: What Secret Did the Baywatch Cast Spill During their Reunion?

What was the toughest part about being on the hit show Baywatch? According to the cast during a recent reunion, it was staying fit. "There was a lot of pressure and you didn't have a choice.

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. 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. ...

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...

Pamela Anderson Beholds Baywatch's Biggest Bombshells

Originally a piece of little-watched NBC prime-time fluff, Baywatch went on to bask in its syndicated and sun-baked goodness, bolstering the careers of David Hasselhoff, Carmen Electra and the like. But first and foremost in fans' minds when they think of that gorgeous gaggle of lifeguards is Pamela Anderson, who is currently serving as spokesperson for the series and its five-disc Season 1 and Season 2 DVD sets, slow-motion jogging into stores today. Never one to turn down a date with Pammy, TVGuide.com gave her our best eight minutes. TVGuide.com: Did I catch you in between weddings to Kid Rock?Pamela Anderson: Yeah, actually, you did!

David Chokachi Catches a Break

The surf is up on The N this summer with its new drama Beyond the Break (premiering June 2 at 8 pm/ET). But while the teen-skewed show may feature a slew of young girls and guys in the surf community, there is an adult (of sorts) around. Baywatch alum David Chokachi stars as Justin, a coach and a mentor to a group of up-and-coming surfer girls. TVGuide.com caught up with Chokachi to ask him what it's like to be back at the beach.

Baywatch Hunk a Space Cadet?

Although David Chokachi calls his 1995-99 stint as bronze-skinned golden-boy Cody Madison on Baywatch the time of his life, he wryly admits to TVGuide.com that there is a down side to being a onetime hunk in trunks — and he isn't referring to the ribbing he takes from his weight-watching buddies, either. "Once I was swimming in South Beach with my manager, and I thought this girl had recognized me from the show," he explains. "She was screaming kind of like she was having trouble in the water, but I was like, 'No way! This is BS!' I was sure she was going to make me swim out to her, then say, 'Ha ha! You idiot! You're from Baywatch!' Well, it turned out she really was in trouble, so I felt like a jerk." Luckily for the 37-year-old alumnus of TNT's Witchblade series, he is less likely to be called upon to reenact the feats of derring-do performed in his latest project: Sci Fi Channel's pre-War of the Worlds outer-space

Baywatch Babe a Bush-Whacker

Admit it: You read a headline that includes the words Baywatch and babe, and immediately, you get ideas. Red swimsuit. Dangerous curves. Empty head. But only two of those notions are applicable where Alexandra Paul is concerned. The civic-minded sex symbol did jail time for protesting the war in Iraq, champions the rights of animals as well as gay men and lesbians, and, in this election year, is Dubya's worst nightmare. "When you're on a show like Baywatch, people often don't see any other side to you," she tells TV Guide Online. "But every Wednesday night, I register voters, and every Thursday night, I protest... Well, it was the war, but now it's the Bush administration. I'm an anybody-but-Bush person [in the showdown to come]. I'll support 100 percent anybody the Democratic party chooses to run against him." Now that you've got a better handle on the beautiful mind that sits atop Paul's heavenly body, perhaps you'll be as surp
