Is Dale Earnhardt Jr. heading to primetime TV?!
Nope! Although it may seem that way in the race car driver's new video for Funny or Die in which he channels David Hasselhoff and takes over the starring role in the remake of the NBC television series Knight Rider.
Those who are familiar with the hit sci-fi show, which aired from 1982 to 1986, will recall Hasselhoff cruising around in a high-end crime fighting car which featured artificially intelligent technology, fondly referred to as K.I.T.T.
But fast forward to nearly 30 years later and the original K.I.T.T. is now out of commission and has been replaced with a Camero along with a woman's voice (Funny or Die's Angela Trimbur).
She's emotional, she's testy and she's certainly not a risk taker, although she is seemingly an expert at irritating the heck out of Earnhardt Jr.
Unsurprisingly, K.I.T.T. always finds a way to be a buzzkill, whether it's on one of the athlete's dates—"Do you mind if we take an Uber next time?" one woman begs—or at the fast-food drivethrough, where she scolds him for snacking on greasy grub.
Of course, the 39-year-old race car driver has had plenty of experiences behind the wheel, but we doubt any have been this troublesome.
Here's hoping Siri never gets too sassy (oh, the perils of technology).
