NBC Hits Button, Tells Howie 'Deal'

[uncamark]

Howie Mandel has set himself up for business with NBC for a reality series, a game show and a scripted series for SciFi (warning:  Varietyese):

The TV version of "Would You Rather..." would be produced for Howie's Alevy Productions by Scott St. John, the EP of "DOND."  No other details yet.

His reality series, "Howie Do It," sounds like it's going to be another hidden camera show like the one he did for Bravo a few years ago--it'll be produced for both NBC and Global in Canada (Global also carries "DOND") and I would suspect that he may shoot the show up there.

Sounds like Howie is virtually limiting primetime Deal exposure with these extra shows...good news for the show (Deal).  Those other shows definitely sound neat.  I'm intrigued by Would You Rather.

On a tangent, Variety sucks.
