    What unkind comments. This is a good clean showand lots of fun. I loved the Hoff on it Howie Mandel is no Hoff but he seems to enjoy the show. His contributions are fair handed and he and Piers seem to have the right amount of animosity to make things interesting without being cruel.

    oh please! no one really knows whats going on with this man other than himself. the tabloids report sensationalism & use him & his family to sell magazines. as for his daughter filming him drunk... what child would do this? He who is without sin cast the 1st stone. No one can say that

    I heard Piers Morgan used his influence with Simon Cowell, to force Hasselhoff off the show as David had a much larger penis than him, which he discovered at a rather hot and steamy Hollywood Party (essentially an orgy) The Hoff had advertised a vacuum penis pump back in the 80's and is now packing a rather huge trouser snake. You can see the advert for it (along with the Commercial Meatloaf made) as part of this short film I made: (#search for Hoff and Pump on youtube) (it's a bit of fun) best of luck Dave in your next venture! Cheers Keeno

    Only he was fired! To no ones surprise of course. The London Sun online says he's being replaced by Howie Mandel.

    Good Luck Knight Rider! U will need it. It's amazing these people have the easiest jobs and the hunger for MORE MONEY is never ending. Why do these people who keep screwing up get all these deal and "regular" people who screw up are tossed on the streets like they are garbage? There are no real movie stars anymore--except Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep, and a few others.

  • January 07, 2010 - 10:29am LOL

    He'll be on Celebrity Rehab. That's the only show that will take him.

  • January 07, 2010 - 10:14am Bad career move

    I can't see how this is a wise career move unless it is judging another talent show WITH some bigger names. If he was doing something of that nature w/ Paula Abdul, then I see how her ratings might make his show a success. BUT, of course no network is going to give HIM a shoe when they could give Paul one and haven't, or at least she hasn't accepted. He is crazy to quit a, for the moment anyway, a sure thing. Especially considering he needs to address some personal issues first. Wish him all the best with that.

    This dude needs to leave not for another show, but to get his personal life back on track.

  • January 07, 2010 - 9:54am Emmy

    Im thinking maybe Simon wants Paula to replace him. This is Simons show after all and he loves Paula and always calls her TV Gold. If she replaces him I will start to watch this show

    Nobody in their right mind would hire him or give him his own show, it would be too risky. He needs serious help for his addiction!

    The only place a show of his would be a hit is in Germany. They think he is a great singer but in the USA he is a joke.

  • January 07, 2010 - 9:28am Vick

    He did not leave. He was fired. The producers were getting sick and tired of his drunken, violent behavior on the set.

  • January 07, 2010 - 9:19am Smith

    Leaving to start his own show? He should be leaving to go to rehab before he dies of alcohol poisoning.
