TMZ has learned an ambulance was called to the home of David Hasselhoff on Friday -- and this video might give us a glimpse as to why.
The Hoff -- who has been battling problems with alcohol for years -- arrived at LAX on Wednesday looking ... well, like he enjoyed the flight. His driver got into it with the freelance photog who took the video -- but The Hoff just kept grinning and saying, "It's all good."
Just two days later, an ambulance was called to his home and someone -- local fire department wouldn't confirm who -- was transported to the hospital. Coincidence?
We reached out to David's people -- never heard back.

Wonder why TMZ didn't get an answer...
Gotta tell you it ceases to be interesting, even the mutual contempt. If he's got that much of a problem, he'll live or die without constant publication of it.

The Hoff has reportedly signed a deal to do a reality tv series with A&E. I wonder how much of this is actually him getting drunk and how much is an act. After all the public flock to watch a reality show with a train wreck.

Tmz-where is your censor? The #2 poster is a stupid person wasting
time and space. Intelligent,short comments would be appreciated instead of allowing useless morons on here.

He is a loud-mouth drunken ass! I watched Idol twice and stopped watching in disgust. How did he ever get hired anyway?

Maybe if he didn't crave attention so much he wouldn't have the urge to drink so much either.
Notice how he resists getting in the car since there is a camera there. He even opens the door up again so the photog can get one last shot.
pathetic attention seeker.

I think he just should move into a rehab facility asap. He's a loser drunk who keeps thinking he's getting away with this stupid b.s. - like nobody has figured it out...he's not fooling anyone but himself...he looks like a complete a**.

I agree with poster no. 5.
Having been sober for 10 years, it is certainly obvious this man has a problem. It's really kind of sad. Alcoholism is a terrible disease.

Come on Hoff. Make up your mind. Either quit drinking or quit living. Either way, stop tying up emergency vehicles to attend to your ego driven doings. Some kid just might die all because you can't handle your alcohol. Grow the f*ck up.

I feel worse for this Kooky ba$tard than I do the Hoff. I mean what kind of life can this guy (Kooky) possibly have? He is on here every single day posting the lamest, stupidest comments ever for every story. Look at the other comments too from different stories. This guy does the same thing for EVERY SINGLE story TMZ posts. And seems to think it's "cute" or something. Very sad.....
But back to the topic. Why does somebody call 911 every time Hasselhoff gets drunk?!!? I mean damn, let the guy get drunk and pass out and it's over. No reason in the world to call 911 except to get attention from sites like this. And somebody (his wife) does this 2 or 3 times a month. Maybe Kooky should look her up. Sounds like a match made in retarded heaven.....

"There's nothing to hide here...move on with your cameras! Go away!"
Doth protest much...makes you kind of wonder why the driver didn't want Hoff to be seen..like REAL BAD.

Um...am I the only one who watched the vid? Yes, it is well known he has a problem, but I didn't see anything in the vid that would indicate he was plowed. He wasn't stumbling. Wasn't slurring. He wasn't even glassy eyed that anyone could tell because the vid never got close enough.
Leave the guy alone. If he wants to get plastered, let him. He obviously doesn't care and has no rock bottom as that vid his daughter took -- a vid where you actually see him wasted -- didn't seem to make him see he needs to clean up.
