ABC announced the fall lineup of Dancing with the Stars on the August 30, 2010 episode of Bachelor Pad. There had been scads of speculation upon who would be on the show for the fall season and David Hasselhoff was one of the much mentioned names. David Hasselhoff will be on Dancing With the Stars when the popular show returns to ABC on September 20, 2010.

Hasselhoff joins a lineup of talent that includes Michael Bolton, Brandy, Margaret Cho, Rick Fox, Jennifer Grey,  Florence Henderson, Kyle Massey, Bristol Palin, Audrina Patridge, MIke 'The Situation' Sorrentino and Kurt Warner.

Listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as “The Most Watched TV Star in the World,” David Hasselhoff is an international superstar across all genres of music, television and film. Hasselhoff got his start in entertainment as an amazingly handsome doctor on on the popular soap opera, “The and the Restless.” The hunky actor was  quickly pursued to play the lead role of the 1980’s cult favorite, “Knight Rider.”

Hasselhoff's fame  catapulted when he starred in the television phenomenon “Baywatch.” The series ran for 11 years and is still viewed in 140 countries by over one billion viewers every week. Hasselhoff's Baywatch co-star Pamela Anderson was a contestant on Dancing With the Stars last season.

 Hasselhoff has also appeared in such feature films as “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” and Adam Sandler’s “Click.” Off screen he has recorded multiple albums -- one that has gone triple platinum -- starred in the Broadway musical “Jekyll & Hyde,” in London’s West End production of “Chicago” and in “The Producers” in Las Vegas.

Most recently he was honored by Comedy Central with “The Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff,” which premiered as one of the top-rated comedy roasts on the network.

Hasselhoff wrote his  autobiography, Don’t Hassel The Hoff, which made the UK Bestseller list re-titled as Making Waves and debuted at No. 8 in Austria on the non-fiction charts. Beyond his entertainment contributions, Hasselhoff is the co-founder of Race for Life and an active participant in Wounded Warriors and Wheels for Humanity.
