David Hasselhoff holds the Guinness World Record of The World’s Most Watched Man on Television
Was nicknamed “Babewatch” in many countries, due to the fact that most of the female lifeguards were played by former (Playboy) models.
The slow mo shots were inspired by the Olympics. From the beginning, Baywatch’s visual trademark was the sight of a lifeguard running toward danger in slow-motion. Michael Berk recalled the idea came from a producing partner of his who had just been shooting the 1988 Summer Olympic Games and had captured footage of sprinters at slower frame rates during the 100-meter dash. David Hasselhoff later claimed the shots were used to pad shows that were running short without having to spend more money for footage.
