A surprising result in last night’s “Dancing with the Stars”: David Hasselhoff was voted off the show. In Monday’s episode, Margaret Cho and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino got the lowest scores from the judges (15 out of 30), but America’s message last night was clear: Don’t Hassle Us with the Hoff.
Comedian Margaret Cho, can we all agree, was the person who should have gone home after she combined bad waltzing and a bad joke on Monday and wound up looking, as [host Tom] Bergeron critiqued, like Liberace’s shower curtain.
Backstage after the performance, Cho worried the dancing was OK but “it’s just that they didn’t think the jokes were funny.” [Moraes]
Why the realization now, Margaret Cho? Why not ten years ago?
Also, as I went through Tumblr this morning, this was my favorite post about “Dancing with the Stars”:
My mom: David Hasselhoff is gone.
Me: HE DIED?!
Mom: No, he got kicked off.
Me: …
Mom: Dancing With The Stars.
Me: Ohhh, I thought he died. Haha.

Now Hoff can go back to doing what he does best, getting fall down drunk and pissing himself.
This has got to be crushing news for the Hoff. There is no bigger attention whore alive, aside from the Kardashian clan.
About five or six years ago, my wife took me out for a birthday dinner at Nobu. The Hoff was two tables down, talking VERY LOUDLY and laughing WAY TOO HARD at his own jokes. I was stunned he didn’t just strip to the waist, hop on a table and start singing “Hooked on a Feeling.”
Maybe if we’d been in Berlin instead of New York.
A DWTS post before a Sons of Anarchy: Just the Badass Parts (or other SoA post) today? Damn Uff, I think those rainbow snakeskin shorts are starting to turn you…
And, I’ll add, the loss of the Hoff from DWTS is totally fucking devastating
/should’ve been you, Margaret Cho
How the fuck is Margaret Cho still around, anyway? Even Paula Poundstone is funnier than her.
At least now Hoff can go back to looking for-uh freedom.
In Deinen Augen steht so vieles, was mir sagt.
Du fühlst genauso wie ich.
Du bist das Mädchen, das zu mir gehört,
Ich lebe nur noch für Dich.
Du bist alles, was ich habe auf der Welt,
Du bist alles, was ich will.
Du, Du allein kannst mich versteh’n,
Du, Du darfst nie mehr von mir geh’n.
Is that bien Dylan Thomas?
