"Knight Rider" was an answer to one of the puzzles during an episode of Hollywood Game Night.

The game is called "TV ID", and players "bid" on the least number of words they can use to get their teammates to name a TV show. For example, one player said they could do a show with 2 words and said "Five Women". The answer was Desperate Housewives.

It gets interesting when they bid one word. Here are some examples of one-word clues. Try to guess on your own, then click the spoiler link:

Clue: Meth
PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:
Breaking Bad
Clue: Coffin
PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:
Six Feet Under
Clue: Cubicle
PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:
The Office
One of the rules is that you can't name characters or actors from the show, and unfortunately the player used the word "KITT" for Knight Rider and was disqualified.

For two words, I'd go with "Talking Car" as a clue. Any other suggestions? And here's the real challenge: What clue would give so that people could guess Knight Rider using just one word? (Keep in mind, chances are your teammates wouldn't be KR freaks and might not understand "scanner" or something like that.)

Give it a try. One word to describe Knight Rider.


(The original video is on Hulu. Season 1, Episode 5, about 14 minutes in.

I had the PS3 over at a friend's house the other week and was playing Who Wants to be a Millionaire. We both chuckled as the game asked about what the odd character was from the television show, Knight Rider.
