Buzzkill
Buzzkill
was a show created for the
MTV network.
The show was essentially a series of elaborate
pranks
(backed, of course, by a major
television
network's budget) played not only on the layman but often on
celebrities
and major public figures. The show backfired, however, when one of the principal
pranksters disguised himself as famous designer Issac Mizrahi. The likeness was
so uncanny that he fooled superstar
Whitney
Houston at an awards show; when Houston discovered the error, she felt made
a fool of and vowed never to appear on MTV again. Consequently the show was canceled.
