Today I went to NBC studios for the unveiling of the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) for the upcoming two-hour television movie
Knight Rider set to air on February 17 at 9 p.m. ET. This modern-day sequel to the iconic 1980's show stars Justin Bruening (
Cold Case), Deanna Russo (
The Young and the Restless), Sydney Tamiia Poitier (
Veronica Mars), and Bruce Davison (
Breach). Will Arnett (
Arrested Development) will play the voice of KITT. And don't worry, the Hoff will make a guest appearance as Michael Knight.
