The show reportedly received hundreds of calls from annoyed viewers, but a spokesman for the network insists the star wasn't snockered. "He was extremely tired because of his massive promotional tour which has been going on for three weeks now," a rep told the London Daily Mail. "But he did everything we wanted him to do. His behavior might not have been 'dead-on' but it was first thing in the morning. We do not believe he was drunk. There was no smell of alcohol."

But a source at another show, who asked to remain unnamed, said that when Hasselhoff showed up there, "It was first thing in the morning and he sure smelled like booze to me either that, or he's using some pretty odd-scented aftershave."

How much of an uptight prick must you be to call and complain because The Hoff was a little sauced on TV? In my entire life, I can remember complaining to the cable company exactly once. I had a valid reason though--the Dawson's Creek marathon I was watching was cut short by some bullshit emergency broadcast warning about a "mandatory evacuation" due to an "out of control fire." Whatever.
