HIDDEN HOWIE: THE PRIVATE LIFE OF A PUBLIC NUISANCE (6 x 1/2 hours)

Thursday, August 18 at 11:00 p.m.

Bravo is pioneering a new genre, as "Hidden Howie: The Private Life of a Public Nuisance" is the first series juxtaposing "hidden-camera" reality with scripted comedy. It has been described as "Candid Camera" meets "Curb Your Enthusiasm." 

The six episodes of this unique hybrid half-hour are based on the actual life of comedian Howie Mandel. "Hidden Howie: The Private Life of a Public Nuisance" takes a look inside the comic mind as we see Howie in his "daily life" and how his interactions inspire and inform the process of creating his hidden camera segments for "The Tonight Show." 

"Hidden Howie: The Private Life of a Public Nuisance" has a terrific cast of characters including Julie Warner as Howie's wife, Estelle Harris as Nana and special guest stars Jay Leno, Marlee Matlin, Jillian Barberie, John Mendoza and many more. "Hidden Howie: The Private Life of a Public Nuisance" is produced for Bravo by 3 Arts Entertainment.
