Ann Curry Hassles The 'Hoff

LOS ANGELES (June 5, 2007) One month ago, David Hasselhoff made jaws drop when he turned up in a drunken video. This morning, he faced off with Ann Curry on live TV. If you have a problem you should deal with it, whatever it is, Hasslehoff told Ann Curry on the Today show, after being asked about his now famous fiasco. What helped you deal with it, Ann asked. What helped me deal with it, David said tersely. This mornings interview appeared contentious as Hasselhoff got grilled. When asked about his current custody battle for his two daughters, he quickly tried to change the subject. We are still in court and I respect the judge and the judge said please dont talk about any of this until we get the orders done, so lets not talk about that, lets talk about alcoholism, he stated. The Hoff was visibly uncomfortable throughout the five minute segment, looking at his nails continually, crossing and uncrossing his legs, adjusting his suit jacket and scratching at his leg. Then came this: We have to leave because we are out of time but David, get well, Anne said as she tried to wrap up the segment. Uh oh. My God honey, I am well and watch Americas Got Talent, because thats why I came on the show to talk about that. Before the interview ended Hasselhoff proved how much le loves being a judge on the show. This year, even though the talent so far has been horrific except for a few acts, its very, very entertaining, he said. From dogs that do tricks, to kid comics a tap dancing drummer and more, TVs most bizarre talent show Americas Got Talent, returns tonight on NBC. The always honest Sharon Osbourne replaces Brandy this season and shes doing it for the rewards. When asked why she was heading back to TV, Sharon replied honestly. The money, she told Access Hollywood. Do you want me to lie? And who better to oversee this entire circus than Jerry Springer who replaces Regis Philbin. The reason they chose me as the host of Americas Got Talent is because next to me everyone looks like they have talent, he joked to our cameras. No, heres my talent, OK, you ready? Im serious about this. I can move my nostrils, Jerry surprised us with. Thank you! Thank you very much.
