Addendum—10:13 AM
I'm now doing all my writing at cocktail-napkin length. Deal with it.
-It seems to me the major flaw in Howie Mandel's new hidden-camera show, Howie Do It (aside from the title, the concept, and everything else) is that it depends on people being able to recognize Howie Mandel when he rips off the wig. I know Deal or No Deal is far more popular than I care to imagine, but you've gotta believe a significant number of takes are spoiled by people saying, "Oh my God, it's... wait, who are you?" Or, "Oh my God, it turns out the asshole stranger who's been humiliating me is bald in conflict with my initial assumptions!"
