David Hasselhoff, the 80's and 90's TV star that we all know and love from such exceptionally written shows as Knight Rider and Baywatch has, in recent years, made the move to a very lucrative singing career.

"The Hoff" as he is known to his die hard fan, has most recently performed a medley of his favorite songs on American Idol.

    Even for April Fools, that's a pretty bad post.

      I cant wait for April first to end.

      I originally thought the green screen, live-stream, and ciphers were a fun way to celebrate April 1st.

      The constant fake news stories have been complete and utter junk though. Seriously guys it was old sometime around noon. I beg you guys. Please, please, please never do the fake story thing again. Sure one really good one can be fun but this is ridiculous.

        But keep the green screen and the live stream. Seriously.

          Of course the guy with Olive in his name is going to like a green color scheme.

        I assure you that every story (except the gerbil story) is a real story reported by real news sites. We may have had a little fun with the stories, but every one of them was based on an actual news report.

        We did try to find offbeat and downright silly stuff, but all of them (except the gerbil story) were vetted ahead of time by multiple editors.

        One fake story got through, the rest were real, so the jokes on you.

    > in recent years, made the move to a very lucrative singing career.

    As the editor has already noted, Hasselhoff is (was?) huge in Germany. [wikipedia.org]

    But really, what is the point of this story? Normally I am not one to bitch about stories here, but this isn't off-topic as determined by my own personal opinion of what is on-topic for Soylent, it's a complete non-story. Some celebrity performed on a singing tv show? Ok...

    How badly would William Shatner's singing career kick Hasselhoff's ass? Discuss.
