NEW YORK, June 9 (UPI) -- Comedy Central says it will roast actor David Hasselhoff in Los Angeles for a special to be aired this summer.
"The Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff" is scheduled for Aug. 15.
"I'm honored that Comedy Central is going to get 'Hoff' on me," Hasselhoff said in a statement Wednesday. "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," added Elizabeth Porter, senior vice president of specials and talent for Comedy Central. "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."
Hasselhoff is best known for his work on TV's "The Young and the Restless," "Knight Rider," "Baywatch" and "America's Got Talent."
