David Hasselhoff

David Hasselhoff is an American actor and singer.

History
When Lisa started talking, Bart asked her if she could say "David Hasselhoff". She did, and Hasselhoff then became her third word. (To Homer's frustration, though, she still said "Homer" instead of "Daddy".)

In "...Six Degrees of Homer Simpson …sort of!" Homer connected and  to Scrappy-Doo. He did this through:
 * 1) "I interrupted a Kid Rock and Joe C' concert in Florida during spring break."
 * 2) "Kid Rock dated Pamela Anderson."
 * 3) "Pamela Anderson starred in  with David Hasselhoff..."
 * 4) "...who starred in  with K.I.T.T."
 * 5) "K.I.T.T. is a crime-fighting vehicle not unlike The Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo."
 * 6) "Scooby-Doo jumped the shark with the addition of child star Scrappy-Doo!"

Non-canon


Kang and Kodos abducted Bart and brought him on board their ship. Bart was impressed with the aliens' technology and ran around pressing buttons and pulling levers, hoping to blow something up. One button apparently activated a mind-control signal, which zapped David Hasselhoff while he was at an event performing "". As the signal hit him, Hasselhoff stopped singing, his eyes glazed over, and he said, "Return to the mothership? But world domination is only 95% complete."

Behind the Laughter
"Hooked on a Feeling" is a pop tune from the 1970s. In real life, Hassellhoff recorded a cover of it in 1997 for his album Hooked on a Feeling.
