David Hasselhoff is the latest Roast "meat" for Comedy Central.
International superstar, singer and television icon David Hasselhoff has been announced as Comedy Central’s next Roastee.
The show is scheduled to tape this summer in Los Angeles.
“The Roast of David Hasselhoff" will air on Sunday, August 15 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.
“I’m honored that Comedy Central is going to get ‘Hoff’ on me,” said David Hasselhoff. “I have always been a major fan of Roasts, dating back to the days of the ‘Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts.’ Laughter is the best medicine. Bring it on! I’m ready to take the heat.”
“David Hasselhoff is a worldwide celebrity who has and continues to entertain audiences around the globe," said Elizabeth Porter, senior vice president, specials and talent for the network. "By the end of this year's Roast, this pop culture icon will surely see that no slow motion run or life preserver can save him.”
