A well-respected German ballet director, perturbed about a negative review, smeared dog feces in his critic’s face. Really, no really! This story got Jason and Peter wondering about the nature of criticism - how we give it, how we take it, and how it affects us! So, they enlisted Howie Mandel, who has critiqued all manner of performances over his 14+ years as a judge on Americas Got Talent… to discuss, interpret and analyze. Howie had some interesting opinions and insights such as: Why you shouldn’t put your kids on TV. A sure-fire way to get a Network to pick up your pilot. Why we remember bad reviews so clearly, yet the positive comments fade away. Howie’s least favorite acts. Why regularly appearing on David Letterman’s Top 10 List was immensely painful. Jason’s trick for acing a dramatic closeup.
