To generate 100 rows of test data you can use the below.

WITH E00(N) AS (SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1),
        E02(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E00 a, E00 b),
        E04(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E02 a, E02 b),
        E08(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E04 a, E04 b),
        E16(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E08 a, E08 b),
        E32(N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM E16 a, E16 b)
SELECT TOP 100 CAST(DATEADD(SECOND,ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID()))%3600,'08:00') AS TIME)
FROM E32
