Where's K.I.T.T. when you need him?

E! News has gotten hold of the 911 recording of David Hasselhoff's post-Thanksgiving medical emergency that led to his Nov. 27 hospitalization, and it is not pretty.

"My dad...he just collapsed," his choked-up 17-year-old daughter, Hayley, tells the dispatcher. "He's standing up but he keeps falling back down...But then he got back up and he's fine. It kind of scared me."

Us, too, and we're not even at the end of the call yet.

An unidentified male in the house then gets on the line and intones, "It's very, very bad here."

While Team Hoff has been mum on exactly what triggered the 57-year-old America's Got Talent judge's wobbly state, paramedics believed it was indeed very, very bad—at least enough to warrant him being transported by ambulance from his San Fernando Valley home to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

His lawyer did refute claims that Hasselhoff was being held at the hospital on a 5150 (aka involuntary psychiatric hold), telling E! News that the actor was back home and resting comfortably about 48 hours later.

In any event, the trip didn't seem to derail his holiday spirit, at least judging from the looks of his Christmas card. He was even out shopping today with his daugther and told us, "I'm doing great!"

Ho, ho, Hoff!
