The Hoff -- Coming to a Small Screen

David Hasselhoff's life sounds like a bad reality show ... now we find out it may indeed become one.

We're told The Hoff has a deal in place with A&E that is close ... but not quite done. A rep for A&E tells us, "We are discussing a possibility of doing a documentary series with David and his kids."

David's daughter Hayley tweeted last week, "The Hasselhoffs signed the deal with A&E ..... Get readdyy for it."

A Hasselhoff rep says the deal isn't signed yet.

Pamela Bach is the Jon Gosselin of this show -- she won't be appearing.
