Caught this on Pax tonite 8pm EST May 9th---
It's Candid Camera meets Extreme Makeover meets My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancee.

It was supposed to be background while I worked, but it is much better than you would ever think..

Its pretty funny and crazy, almost satirical in a Joe Schmo-ish kind of way, sort of...

They set up a candid camera type of thing with friends and family planning a trick on someone and then a makeup artist creates a persona for them and you watch the changeover on his computer, which is kind neat to see.. Then they get made up and then they see the big reveal of themselves and then the candid camera part happens.

Holly has a role in all the skits and she is pretty funny. She plays herself, basically, even same name, only even more obnoxious than see was on BB5 if you can imagine that. And even when she messes up, like forgetting names, it works for her cuz that's what you expect from her

The plots are much sillier and kinder and gentler than these types of shows. One guys friend HATES onions and he plays a waiter who keeps serving him onions, while he is pitching a script in a restaurant. Meanwhile the "producer" that he is pitching to, tries to change the drama to a comedy with a dwarf dentist, who tries to demo the plot at the table. It's good ol slapstick really.

Plot 2, is a meeting of a fiance with the parents, only the girl plays her big fat obnoxious fiance, with an assistant, Holly, who keeps feeding him, and his accountant is a cool longhaired black dude, who is really the white conservative looking brother....

Ok, i am supposed to be working... but hope the show repeats for anyone looking for a stupid guilty pleasure laugh...or I guess West Coasters may still catch it tonite..

(btw, hi everyone! things have been kinda crazy and busy but i think about you all often and hope to be back around when things calm down.. see ya!

Yeah, you couldn't miss her voice. Playing her ditzy self was a real "stretch."
