What is your favorite car from a TV show or movie? Is it the General Lee from 'Dukes Of Hazzard'? The Ectomobile from 'Ghostbusters'? The 'A-team' Van? Don Johnson's Ferrari in 'Miami Vice'?

What about KITT the Trans Am? With reports coming out last week that a 'Knight Rider' film is in development at Universal with 'Cobra Kai' creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald. I saw the new 'Naked Gun' film a few days ago, and I think this is the tone they should go for. To replace David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, it requires an actor who can play serious in a cheesy way. My top 3 choices are:

Jensen Ackles- The best 'Supernatural' episodes were the meta comedy, and Ackles already acted with KITT sorta in an episode.

John Cena- He is pretty much playing the same kind of character in 'Peacemaker', where he takes himself too seriously in a bumbling way.

Zac Efron- He's probably the best comedy actor right now with his performances in 'Baywatch', 'Dirty Grandpa', and 'Ricky Stanicky', which also starred Cena.

Who did I miss from the list? Comment below with your thoughts.
