Howie and his friend Vic (the guy featured in the last segment of
tonight's episode making out with another man's wife) have been
pulling these sorts of stunts in their spare time for years...
sometimes on camera, but a lot of the time just for their own
amusement. Vic, credited on DOND as a creative consultant, actually
came and spoke to my students two years ago. Funny guy... the
practical jokes he played on my class without them even realizing it
were outstanding. The show has the sort of cringe-humor sensibility
that a lot of people enjoy, so it might last a while. Or it might be
axed before its third episode. Who can say? It is really a modern,
more racy adaptation of "Candid Camera." Not really my style of humor,
but I can see where it might have a following.
