Apparently, Knight Rider executives considered silencing the beloved Trans Am, KITT. But the star thought better of it:
Hasselhoff Holds Out for Talking Kitt in Movie (Oldies 108)
A new big-screen version of Knight Rider has endured a two year delay – because movie bosses wanted to mute the show’s trademark talking car, Kitt.
But David Hasselhoff, who starred in the original 1982 TV series and is taking the lead in the upcoming remake, has insisted the vehicle have a voice of its own or he wouldn’t make the film.
He says, “It’s stupid. There’s no film without a talking car.”
Never again shall the world doubt that the singer of “Dance Dance Damour” is a man of principle.

I always thought the car had the bulk of the good spoken lines…

Aw, you got me, Murcek; I was going to suggest that the car talk & Hasselhoff be mute.

At least he admits it; the car upstaged him.

Knight Rider has been, hands down, doing the best reporting out of Ira – wait. Typo. My mistake.

I think we should have a reality show where different cars audition for the part.

New SEC Comish Chris Cox a Brilliant Choice
Although “SEC Commissioner” doesn’t sound like one of the more important political appointments, I think Chris Cox will prove to be huge for the investor class and the economy.

“There’s No Film Without a Talking Car…”
David Hasselhoff sticks to his guns. Knight Rider fans will be glad to know KITT will talk. (H/t: Ace)…

Those stupid execs should listen to Hasselhoff, he knows what he’s talkin’ about. Hell, I remember a couple episodes where KITT was in a frickin’ mini-TV! And you know what made it all ok? because he could frickin’ TALK, that’s what! They could make the new KITT out of a Toyota Prius, as long as it talks, it’ll be fine.
Everyone under-estimates Hasselhoff. I have nothing but respect for a guy that makes millions off of crappy European taste in music. And then he goes on to be in Baywatch, where he basically gets to see every fine hollywood starlet all wet in a swim suit. Like I said, he’s a frickin’ genius.
