David Hasselhoff’s Divorce Settlement Included Ownership of the Nickname “The Hoff”

After David Hasselhoff found fame thanks to starring roles on TV shows like Knight Rider and Baywatch, he not only earned a nickname from fans, “The Hoff,” he also became associated with the catchphrase “Don’t hassle the Hoff.”

And apparently, the terms are so lucrative and so key to his career, that when Hasselhoff divorced Pamela Bach in 2008, their settlement included the actor keeping the rights to both the nickname and the catchphrase.
