Howie Do It
When: Premieres January 9th on NBC. It airs Friday nights at 8/7c.
Main Players: Howie Mandel
What’s it all about?: In this prank comedy show, those targeted are aware of the camera but the motives remain hidden. Mandel steps off of the Deal or No Deal set, throws on a disguise and aims to snare unsuspecting people into a wide variety of hoaxes.
What to expect?: Just over three years since Mandel resurrected his career with Deal, NBC is giving him a shot at what he does best, on-the-spot comedy. Similar to his popular Tonight Show sketches, the new show will do well as temporary filler, but a Deal-like phenomenon it will not be.
