Val Kilmer to Voice K.I.T.T. In New 'Knight Rider' TV Show

by Ian Rowan on February 8, 2008 at 01:27 PM



For fans of the short lived Arrested Development , it will come as a shock and quite a blow that Will Arnett, who plays J.O.B. in the Fox show, has had to bow out of providing the voice for the smarter-than-thou K.I.T.T. car in the upcoming 'Knight Rider' TV show remake on NBC.

Turns out that there was a conflict of interest since his gravely voice had been used by GMC to grace its truck commercials and the 'Knight Rider' show is co-branded with Ford. D'oh.

So, a last minute replacement has been announced in the form of none other than Iceman, a.k.a. Val Kilmer.
Val's probably in the sound booth right now channeling the Shelby Mustang GT500KR, since the show is set to air in little less than two weeks...

Knight Rider is set to premiere on NBC on the 17th at 9pm EST.
