Stay of execution for “The Hoff”

By Jesse Chambers

We still despise actor (?) and singer (??) David Hasselhoff – excuse me, The Hoff – but we won’t have him killed just yet. At least he had the cojones to feed a tiger shark by hand in the waters off South Africa while filming a series of three video webisodes called Sharkwatch

Maybe The Hoff practiced in the pool

You can watch the videos at www.theunderwaterchannel.tv, which describes itself as “a global web TV channel dedicated to bringing the mysteries of the deep to the surface.” 

According to a news release, the star of such cultural atrocities as Baywatch, Knight Rider and America’s Got Talent, describes his adventure as the “most incredibly awesome experience of [his] life.” The Hoff, the release says, hopes to help change the public’s opinion of sharks and draw attention to their endangered status.
