It'll go, only to return after what NBC replaces it with turns out to be something much crappier making primetime Deal seem like a gift from heaven.

I think this certainly fits the requirements for "something much crappier" -- and worse yet, Howie's hosting it.
I recently saw the first promo for "Howie, Do It" which is little more than Mr. Mandel taking the premise of his frequent Tonight Show "bits" and expanding it to an hour-long series. Howie goes undercover in disguise and performs disgusting things a la Candid Camera, eventually revealing himself to (hopefully) laughing victims.
Will it work -- I doubt it. Will it last -- I hope not, but that depends on how desperate NBC is to get viewers.
