Bill Hader

David Hasselhoff of "Baywatch"


Tulsa native Bill Hader is known for being the funniest person now on "Saturday Night Live," and for being a go-to co-star in movie comedies.

He is not known for being a tanned sun god who might be the first choice to play the David Hasselhoff role in a "Baywatch" movie.

It was strange to see rumor-based Internet reports that the "Reno 911!" creator making a movie based on the jiggle show about babes, beaches and bronzers was looking to cast Hader as the lead lifeguard.

It was more amusing to then see the rumor go viral, and then hear that it was all false once someone actually bothered to contact a representative for Hader, who shot down the claim.

Nice Internet reporting, people.

Here's to hoping that when Hader finally jumps into the lead role in a movie (a live-action one beyond the animated "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs") that he will choose wisely.

If the choice for his breakthrough were "Baywatch," I'd think he would need to wear a high-rated sunscreen considering all the heat he would get for that choice.
