Meet The Hasselhoffs

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

After the success of The Hoff: When Scott Came To Stay, a show that began its life on the Iconduit-created HoffSpace, the UK network Living were extremely keen to work on further projects with David Hasselhoff and Iconduit’s Joe Townley. The result is Meet The Hasselhoffs, six one hour specials of David and his daughters travelling around the UK with Scott Mills. The producers of the show, Summer Films, were keen for Joe, whose vision had paired Scott Mills and David together in a series of webisodes, maintain his involvement with the new show. As a result Joe was brought in as the US Producer, developing the show with Summer Films from the US. However, when Scott Mills was unavailable for all of the shooting schedule, the producers decided Joe should step on camera and act as David’s guide and organiser in his native land. The result is a very funny on-screen relationship as David and Joe travel around the UK.The show will air in September on Living in the UK. Worldwide distribution is still to be decided.

The Hoff: When Scott Came To Stay

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Iconduit has successfully transitioned David Hasselhoff’s video blog onto television screens around the world. Scott Mills, the leading DJ on the UK’s BBC Radio 1, was entertained by David’s ground-breaking social networking site HoffSpace and mentioned it on air. Careful traffic monitoring ensured that Iconduit noticed this upsurge in traffic and worked to develop this relationship.

David subsequently appeared on Scott’s show and rekindled a relationship that had begun when Scott had pushed David’s song Jump In My Car to #3 in the UK charts. When Scott was coming to LA, he wanted to hang out with David, so he called Joe Townley, Iconduit’s creative director, who organised a wild night on the town for Scott with David, on the condition that it would be filmed and appear on HoffSpace. TV producers from Summer Films and Living TV in London saw the footage and thought it would make an excellent TV show.

Having helped create the original, Joe was brought in as a producer and, after a very intensive weekend of filming that involved wild partying in Vegas, private jets, jet skis, barbecues and an amazing performance by David’s daughters, The Hoff: When Scott Came To Stay was created. It will air on April 6th on Living TV in the UK.
