Popular comic and "Deal or No Deal" host Howie Mandel takes a camera crew to the streets to prank unsuspecting "marks" in a comedy series in the vein of "Candid Camera." The twist with "Howie Do It" is that the cameras are out in the open, not hidden, but the participants think they are auditioning for a new TV show.

As it stands, Howie Do It is at best thoroughly dull. At worst, it's irritating enough to qualify as grounds for Howie Mandel's deportation back to Canada. Go to Full Review Ray Richmond The Hollywood Reporter 09/24/2019
In the opening hour, "Howie Do It" at least delivers laughs more often than it inspires groans. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 09/24/2019
Mandel presents the taped bits to a studio audience for no particular reason, except perhaps to prove that somebody with the time to attend such a taping finds this silly shtick hilariously funny. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 09/24/2019
