OT: Howie Mandel is....
 

I can't stand this guy. Everytime I see him on TV I want to through my shoe through the screen.

... still alive?

He was funny in the 80's. To me, he's no more or less funny than a lot of "famous" comedians in the last 15 years. I won't name names, since I don't want to make people cry.

Who?

Hot.

That blown-up-latex-glove-over-the-head gag never gets old.

Option 4:
about as funny as Gallagher.

... currently engaged in a fierce PR battle to give some semblance of aristic substance to his frenetic style with overtly public "confessions" of OCD.

I agree. Of course I was ten then.

His standup act is one of the funniest I've ever seen.

I'd rather watch Carrot Top bone Rosie O'Donnell.

With Bea Arthur's dick, I assume?

Definitely not funny. Rremember watching him on Arsenio and he had this really bad habit of taking dragging out a 15-second joke to absurd lengths.

But what about Bobby's World?

...yeah, he sucks...

But Gallagher at least had the Sledge-o-matic. I'd take that over a latex glove any day.

haha, the glove joke reminds me of Family Guy.

Is he the guy with the really weird voice? I remember thinking he was funny once, when I was 12.

I liked him on St. Elsewhere. Never thought he was funny, but liked his character.

How often are you seeing him on TV? I can't recall the last time I've seen him.

I would suggest reading your TV manual. There is probably a button that will allow you to change channels.

He's the front man for Boston Pizza commercials here, which are in heavy rotation on the couple of channels I watch. The one channel (The Score) runs a ticker of sports scores and stories through the commecials so I wind up seeing him all of the time. He also pitches something else but I can't remember what.

So in short I see him 2 or 3 times a day in the hour of TV I watch. I almost feel like he's TV stalking me.

We just got a Boston Pizza here in Bellingham. Pretty damned good.
