Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff; Comedy Central. 9 pm CST. Special.
Usually these things just devolve into who can be the most crass-- and I'm sure this will be no exception.  But we do have a person who, I think, can and will get roasted (unlike, say, Pam Anderson, who most didn't go very tough on).  I also have read a few of the jokes already, and a couple cracked me up (Whitney Cummings' "I actually tried to buy one of your songs on Amazon.com, and it said, 'Users who bought this item also bought a shotgun,'" was my favorite).
You may want to DVR the after-midnight airings; sometimes they don't bleep out as much.
