David Hasselhoff to Appear on New Real Estate Reality Show Listing Impossible
David Hasselhoff is counting on his oldest daughter, Tay Hasselhoff, to help him sell his longtime Los Angeles mansion. Tay, who formerly starred on the E! reality show Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, is now a realtor and cast member on the new CNBC Prime show Listing Impossible, and her dad is one of her clients! Set to premiere on January 15, the show follows a group of real estate agents who often work with celebrities, and more specifically, with clients trying to offload highly customized, hard-to-sell homes.
Viewers will see the father-daughter pair attempt to find a buyer for David’s five-bedroom, six-bathroom $3.6 million mansion. An initial tour of the house reveals that much of it is outfitted with memorabilia, awards, and household goods with David’s name and image emblazoned on them, including gold and platinum records displayed on one wall off the double-height living room, a Baywatch pinball machine on the second floor, and even a mug with a cartoon caricature of his face on it. A framed photo of his Hollywood walk of fame star is also used as decor, hung on the wall next to the stairs.
The dwelling does have some highlights that might make it appealing to a buyer, however. There is a movie theater with a large white shag rug, a white couch, and a row of director’s chairs propped at the back of the room. Hardwood floors, elegant chandeliers, and bright white walls help add an air of luxury to the home, and several carefully curated furnishings, like a modern light fixture in the formal dining area, add an updated twist.
In a clip from the premiere of the eight-episode series posted by People, the former Baywatch actor tells his daughter what he is looking for in his next house. “Something a little bit grander, with a driveway,” says the Sharknado 3 star. “So when you drive up, you go, ‘Wow, that’s David Hasselhoff’s house.’ It’s part of your soul, that driveway, it’s kind of like the aura of someone who’s made it in this business. Because I have, I’ve spent a long time in this business.”
Tay seems confident she can get the job done. “My dad is very straightforward about what he doesn’t like, and about what he does like,” she says in the clip, “so it’ll be very easy for us to get this process going.” David bought his property for $1.95 million in May 2013; he first listed it for sale for $2.3 million back in 2015.
