Our love for The Hoff used to be deep and seemingly untouchable. But in recent months he has become almost like a caricature of himself. Sometimes it's difficult to discern whether we're seeing the actual David Hasselhoff or a Saturday Night Live skit with Alec Baldwin standing in for the Knight Rider. We think Alec's been pretty busy lately pissing off anyone he's ever met, so we're going to have to believe that was indeed The Hoff in an assumedly drunken appearance on British TV.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

Former "Baywatch" star David Hasselhoff flirted, danced and slept his way through an interview on British TV Sunday morning, and blames his dopey demeanor on sleeping pills.

The 54-year-old attempted to charm "GMTV" host Jenni Falconer during a promotional interview for his new single, "Jump in My Car," saying, "You're not engaged. Oh, I have a chance."

Hasselhoff later performed a hip-thrusting dance routine to his new song, aimed at Falconer, before falling asleep during a break in the early-morning show.

However, "'GMTV' producers dismiss speculation he was drunk. A spokesperson for the show says, "We do not believe he was drunk. There was no smell of alcohol."

We don't care whether David drank a quart of tequila, downed half a bottle of Ambien, or ate an entire turkey and was really knocked out from tryptophan, a sleeping Hoff is just damn good television. In fact, we're thinking of pitching an hour-long show of nothing but David Hasselhoff dozing off, head bobbing forward and occasionally jerking back in half-sleep shock, drool trickling from his mouth and falling onto his "Don't Hassel The Hoff" T-shirt. We think the folks at Fox just might bite.
