FORGET the hounds, Channel 9 released "The Hoff" on Sydney's streets yesterday.
Still boasting the tan he made famous on Baywatch, David Hasselhoff led the all-male team on the new Celebrity Apprentice Australia as they rounded up props and support for their first challenge - a pet pampering service - today.
The 59-year-old led the charge from Cremorne's Orpheum Theatre, where contestants filmed the opening scenes of the new season show.
Ian "Dicko" Dickson and AFL loudmouth Jason Akermanis, not known as wallflower types, appeared awestruck by the towering American.
Having struggled to overcome personal demons, including a battle with alcohol addiction, Hasselhoff has made a career of TV cameos like this one.
He was the first to be booted off the last series of Dancing With The Stars in the US, where he paired with Aussie Kym Johnson.
"He's going to hit the wall at some point," Dickson said about Hasselhoff's fast pace.
Fellow contestant Ben Dark was also impressed by The Hoff's determination to win the challenge. "I'll be his coffee boy if he keeps this up" Dark said.
Teammate and model Nathan Joliffe had some favourable comments for the American after he stripped off at the beach.
"He's not wearing Speedos but looking bloody good if you ask me," he said.
The public are invited to get involved in today's challenge, with Charlotte Dawson texting the details:
"Please come between 1pm-3pm to Sydney Park, car park entrance, corner King St & Princes Highway, Alexandria x Bring your own or steal someone's dog for a pampering. I will be shovelling shit so bring your camera ;)"
