David HasselhoffDAVID Hasselhoff has quit America’s Got Talent.

The former Baywatch actor — who was hospitalized a number of times in 2009 — claimed to be working on an as-yet-unknown TV show.

“I am proud that I was part of making America’s Got Talent the number one rated show for the past four summers,” he said.

“It’s been a rewarding experience and now I’m thrilled to be able to follow my dream to do my own TV show, which will be announced very shortly.”

Hasselhoff leaves a gap on the judging panel of the reality TV show alongside Brits Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan. No names have yet been suggested as a replacement.

A statement from the program’s broadcasters, NBC, said: “David’s been an integral part of America’s Got Talent and we are sad to see him go.”

In October, it was suggested that the actor was signing up for a new TV program with US TV network A + E.

Hasselhoff’s daughter Hayley wrote on her twitter blog, “The Hasselhoffs signed the deal with A + E… Get ready for it.”
