The Hoff Is No More


Lost in the shuffle of the divorce settlement between David Hasselhoff and his ex wife Pamela Bach and then Dave's trip to the hospital is that The Hoff is no longer The Hoff. As part of the divorce settlement, Pamela Bach now owns the right to the trademarked nickname The Hoff as well as the catchphrase "Don't Hassle The Hoff."

This is devastating news. Seriously. I love the name The Hoff, and I can't see why he gave it up. This is like Kramer selling all his stories to J. Peterman. The problem I see down the road for Dave is the fact that he and his ex don't usually get along. Next time they fight, you might see a whole line of shirts that say Nobody Loves Little Boys Like The Hoff. Oh, it wouldn't have his photo, and it would look innocent, but it would set the trend. There are lots of things she can do with that catchphrase also.

David or Dave just isn't as much fun as saying The Hoff. Dave kind of belongs to David Letterman, so then it would have to be David. Lots of Davids in the world, and I hate spelling Hasselhoff. I'm too lazy to find the photo spread I did last year of The Hoff, but I'm going to miss him. Him being The Hoff. The Hoff allowed you to actually enjoy the joke of David Hasselhoff, much the same way that Priceline allowed you to love William Shatner and got him a show that didn't involve TJ or Hookers. On the bright side for DH, he does keep his companies called Hasselhits, Hasseltunes and Hoffstuff. Unfortunately for him HHH is also taken. How about Ha Ha Ho. Can't believe the Hoff is gone. Need some kind of sad music and then the red M&M comes up and gives me a hug.
