With exactly a month to go until Knightcon 2011, it would appear that we somehow missed a very important piece of news coming out of the UK on August 18th.

Amongst the returning guests will be the delightful Michael Scheffe, and the beautiful and talented Rebecca Holden.

However, the big news is the first ever Knight Rider event appearance of Peter Parros, known to one and all as RC3!

In addition, the Knightcon Team have also announced a fourth special guest; Dirk Benedict of Battlestar Galactica and A-Team fame.

Robert Foster, Executive Producer on the original Knight Rider series, passed away from brain cancer last month. He was 72. Responsible for running the show for three and a half seasons, his direction was on of a small group that helped to define the memory that everyone thinks of "Knight Rider" today. He helped create such memorable characters as Goliath, and KARR, and writing many fan favorite episodes such as Hearts of Stone, Short Notice, Soul Survivor, Diamonds Aren't a Girl's Best Friend, Knight of the Drones and one of my favorites Knight of the Juggernaut (trailer below).

David Hasselhoff went to Las Vegas for Knight Rider Festival II while taping his reality show "The Hasselhoffs". He drives around in KITT with Glen Larson, and jokes around with ex-wife Catherine Hickland. And of course, he is swarmed by fans.

Watch the video

The Knight Rider Festival returns to Las Vegas May 18-19, 2012.

David Hasselhoff was in Rosemead California today at a party celebrating the 85th anniversary of the California Mission Inn. This former Spanish Mission is now a beautiful full service senior retirement community and David's father Joe has been a resident there for the past 6 years.

The event featured a Roaring 20's Celebration with people dressed in period costumes. Hasselhoff wanted to do something special for the event, and he asked his bodyguard (also named Joe) to see if they could hold a car show. Joe called Jen Catano from Knights of the West Coast, who had three days to put everything together. There were about 17 cars in all, including Jen's own KITT. There was Bumblee from Transformers, Herbie, a Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am, and many classic cars as well.

The mayor spoke briefly to the residents and community friends, and then Hasselhoff took the stage with his dad. They essentially did a 5-minute stand-up routine, with David asking his father questions about living at the Mission. It was very funny, and more importantly David really put the focus on his Dad

Hasselhoff then went out by KITT to sign autographs and pose for photos with residents and guests.

This weeks episode of ABC's show Castle featured both Mike Knight and RCIII in guest roles during an investigation in the death of a champion swimmer.

Justin Bruening (aka Mike Knight) played the couch of and Peter Parros (RCIII) played the doctor to the departed and were both questioned by Beckett and Castle - the show's main characters.

Unfortunately the two of them didn't share any screen time, so those fans looking for a generational Knight Rider collaboration will still have to wait.
