I think that it must have something to do with the show. We've had Deal or No Deal for a year now and the guy who hosts the show in the UK had seen better days (career wise). However this show has revitalized him and his career has taken off again!
I always liked Howie including his early work. I do not watch the show.
I admire Howie for being who he is but his public discussions of his personal life with his OCD have kind of creeped me out a bit on him.
I can't watc the show because of this indredible jealousy I have. It is weird, I could watch Who Wants to be a Millionaire, and tried to get on that show, even passed the phone trivia, but never got called.
I sent in my audition tape for DoND, and I have not been called. I NEED to be on that stage. I tried watching it this season, and I can't enjoy it. I just get mad that it is not me up there, and wonder why them and not me?
The strange thing is, I am not normally like this. I am usually very excited for other people's good fortune.
He used to be funny as hell when he co-starred on Regis & Kelly and they went to Disney. He would dress in disguise and pull pranks on the park visitors. I don't know if he still does it or not. I don't get to watch Regis and Kelly anymore. I love Howie!
