Director Revealed
David Solomon will be directing the first new episode

BSG's
Paul Campbell As Knight Industries' New Tech? The
Hollywood Reporter is saying that Paul Campbell (Battlestar
Galactica) has joined the cast of Knight Rider as
the new head research tech of Knight Industries. We are assuming
this is the "Billy"
role that they have been casting.
Internet-savvy
viewers might remember Campbell as one of the two stars of Nobody's
Watching, which could very well be the best sitcom that never
aired. Either way, if this news is true, Knight Rider has
picked up a talented actor!

Hoff "Did It For The Fans" Original
Knight Rider star David Hasselhoff mentioned the
new KR pilot on his
official website.
"I'm
really excited about the return of Knight Rider to television,"
Hasselhoff said. "It
was a blast from the past and I did it for you, my fans."
At
the end of this message, Hasselhoff told his fans to let NBC know
they want to see more of Knight Rider and "The Hoff"
by visiting
NBC's website and letting them know. Does this mean Hasselhoff
would be willing to do more Knight Rider? Let's hope so....
