He moves to London in an attempt to get his career back on track and discovers that nothing is what it seems. The show is distributed by BBC Worldwide North America and is the second British series to premiere on AXS TV, following the success of <em>The X Factor UK<\/em>. <em>Hoff the Record<\/em> premiered in the U.K. in June.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Hoff the Record<\/em> is the perfect addition to our prime-time programming roster, starring David Hasselhoff in rare form, as he gamely invites viewers to laugh along with him in crazy scenarios that poke fun at his legendary career,\u201d said AXS TV founder and CEO Mark Cuban. \u201c<em>Hoff the Record<\/em> is an excellent testament to what a great and self-assured guy David is, and AXS TV is proud to be able to bring the inaugural season to the States for the first time ever. It\u2019s not often you get the chance to have the most-watched male star in the history of television (according to the Guinness Book of World Records) on your network, and we couldn\u2019t be more thrilled.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Hoff the Record<\/em> is what happens when an American superstar meets cheeky British comedy,\u201d remarked Matt Forde, the executive VP of content production, sales and distribution at BBC Worldwide North America. \u201cNow, through a deal with BBC Worldwide North America, AXS TV is bringing that irreverent British humor stateside to The Hoff\u2019s country of origin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Showrunners Yee and Majumdar of Me &amp; You Productions commented: \u201cWe grew up watching David Hasselhoff on TV so we are thrilled to be working with such a legend and amazed that he is game to play a jaw-dropping version of himself for us. This is our first series for AXS and it\u2019s great to be on such a supportive broadcaster making an ambitious cutting-edge comedy series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo happy to join the AXS TV team. It\u2019s the perfect home for <em>Hoff the Record<\/em>,\u201d added Hasselhoff. \u201cMark Cuban is a force of nature and I am honored to be a part of the team. The Hoff train is smoking!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hasselhoff serves as producer, and the executive producers for UKTV are Iain Coyle and Richard Watsham. Hasselhoff\u2019s executive producer is Eric Gardner.
