        <![CDATA[Being a single guy, I often get a lot of very nice questions from my female fans.&nbsp; So, I thought I'd answer some of those questions right here!&nbsp; <br />&nbsp;<br />Q: Vic, what's your idea of the perfect date?<br />&nbsp;<br />A: One that doesn't end up with me on the wrong end of a paternity test on "Maury." I'm no one's baby daddy (as of this writing, May 13, 2009). <br /><br />&nbsp;<br />Q: Vic, do you like blondes, brunettes or redheads?<br />&nbsp;<br />A: Yes.<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Q: Vic, how can an amazingly handsome, sweet, compassionate, generous, caring man like you... still be single?<br />&nbsp;<br />A: Mom, I'm working on it. <br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp; <br />Q:&nbsp; Vic, how do you know a date has gone great?<br />&nbsp;<br />A:&nbsp;&nbsp; If I have not received a restraining order or a fever blister within 48 hours.<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Q:&nbsp; Vic, do you believe in "love at first sight?"<br />&nbsp;<br />A:&nbsp; Yes, and I have a lazy eye.&nbsp; Every woman I've fallen in love with has been standing directly to my left.<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Q:&nbsp; Vic, what do you think of women who kiss on a first date?<br />&nbsp;<br />A:&nbsp; I think I'd like to watch. <br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Q:&nbsp;&nbsp; Vic, are you afraid of commitment?<br />&nbsp;<br />A:&nbsp;&nbsp; Do I have to answer that? I need more time...<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Q:&nbsp; Vic, what kind of father do you think you'll make?<br />&nbsp;<br />A:&nbsp; A short bald one.<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Q:&nbsp; Vic, what do you think about "public displays of affection?"<br />&nbsp;<br />A:&nbsp; Good when you're with someone - never good when you're by yourself... can only lead to trouble.<br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br />Q:&nbsp; Vic, in one word, describe the first woman you ever made love to.<br />&nbsp;<br />A:&nbsp; Inflatable.<br />&nbsp;<br />Please say hi to me here, on facebook or on my website, www.viccohen.com.

        <![CDATA[It's thank you time!<br /><br />After pranking hundreds of great people on "Howie Do It," I feel a need to thank all of them for being such great sports.&nbsp;&nbsp; In particular, I want to thank the following:<br /><br />1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thank you to the man who let me crawl into bed with his wife<br />and make out with her in our "mouthwash commercial" prank. Your wife has beautiful eyes.&nbsp; Skin as smooth as butter.&nbsp; And what lips!&nbsp; So soft and supple.&nbsp; I can still taste your wife's raspberry lip-gloss.&nbsp; Thanks for sharing.&nbsp; You are the best!<br /><br />2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Kudos to the woman who repeatedly bitch slapped me after I asked her what it's like to be mistaken for a "street walker" (so far, a favorite moment from my "Vic Cohen People Person" reports).&nbsp; I appreciate any time I can get that kind of attention from a woman. &nbsp;<br /><br />3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thanks to the man I had mistaken for a woman in a "Vic Cohen People Person" report.&nbsp; I appreciate you not giving me your phone number.&nbsp; I had no idea you were a guy.&nbsp;&nbsp; That would've been a very awkward date.<br /><br />4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thanks to the man who picked me as his date in our "dating show" prank.&nbsp; Even though you wanted to beat me up, my feminine side was still flattered you chose me.&nbsp;&nbsp; Turns out I didn't wear my spanks for nothing!&nbsp; (And thank you again for not beating me up.)<br /><br />5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thank you to the unsuspecting man who gave me a piggyback ride when I posed as a crazy golf instructor.&nbsp; It'd been over 25 years since I had a piggyback ride and it was well worth the wait. &nbsp;<br /><br />And thank all of you for watching "Howie Do It!"&nbsp; If we haven't met soon... don't be surprised if we meet sometime in the near future - when you least expect it!<br /><br />Vic<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://www.nbc.com/howie-do-it/blog/images/ME%2C%20MAN%2C%20WIFE%20I%20KISSED.JPG"><img alt="ME, MAN, WIFE I KISSED.JPG" src="http://www.nbc.com/howie-do-it/blog/assets_c/2009/05/ME,%20MAN,%20WIFE%20I%20KISSED-thumb-400x266-1408.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="266" width="400" /></a></span><br /> <div><br />Doesn't this husband looked thrilled with me?&nbsp; Hey, SHE'S smiling!<br />(And yes, just like Brad Pitt...

        <![CDATA[<p>Thanks to the thousands of you who recently came to a taping of "Howie Do It."  It was an unforgettable night.  And thanks to all of you fans who stuck around after the show to say hi to me!  It was a thrill to meet you.  (I've included some fun pictures from the night.)</p>

<p>As you might suspect, during the evening there were some pranks pulled behind the scenes (that will never make it to television).  I want to personally apologize to DJ Ravidrums, our amazing drummer/percussionist, for placing his drumsticks in a part of my body that drumsticks really shouldn't go.  (I did that on stage in front of the audience before the show... DJ Ravidrums was not amused.)</p>

<p>No one was safe from being pranked that night - not even the audience.  Before the taping I pretended to be an usher and pulled a little prank on some people who came to the show.   Wearing no shirt... and an usher badge clipped to my left nipple (it was not pretty), I walked them around in circles for over 45 MINUTES as I "looked for their seats." After about thirty minutes they started getting winded... they weren't in the best shape.  For being such good sports, I finally gave them front row seats.  But what they really needed was oxygen!   I think they're still out of breath.</p>

<p>It was definitely a perfect night (except maybe for DJ Ravidrums and his drumsticks).  I can't wait to do it again soon!</p>

<p>The infamous drumsticks!   Hmm.  For some crazy reason DJ Ravidrums didn't want these sticks after I got hold of them. And naturally, this fan did!</p>

        <![CDATA[Usually when actors work on a TV show they thank their crew for making them "look and sound good."&nbsp; And I do want to thank our amazingly talented audio and video crew for always making me look and sound my best in every piece we shoot!&nbsp; They're really talented and phenomenal at what they do.<br /><br />But perhaps even more importantly than recognizing their great skills, I want to thank the crew for PROTECTING me.&nbsp;&nbsp; Every day there comes the time when our "Mark" could soon be beating the cra* out of me.&nbsp; And it's good to know my crew is there for me all the way!<br /><br />There are three special times, when I've been especially grateful to the crew for "watching" my back.&nbsp;&nbsp; And I want to publicly thank them right now. <br /><br />1.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Thank you Jason for getting me out of a painful headlock the time a "Mark" went ballistic.&nbsp; It was especially thoughtful of you to intervene only after I was first body slammed twice and then gouged in the eyes 15 times.&nbsp; (Yes, I was counting.) Thanks a whole bunch.<br /><br />2.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Thank you Eric for protecting me when an out-of-control female "Mark" could not stop bitch slapping me.&nbsp; After receiving a 22-minute ass kicking, it was kind of you to finally step in when the battery on your camera ran out.&nbsp; You're an angel.<br /><br />3.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;And finally... thank you Andrew for recently calling the paramedics after video taping me getting kicked in the groin 7 TIMES by an angry man wearing steel toed work boots.&nbsp; (Never a good combination.)&nbsp; Andrew, I think of you always.&nbsp;&nbsp; Usually when I'm peeing. <br /><br />(P.S.&nbsp; Say hi to me here or on Facebook.&nbsp; And I'm on Twitter!&nbsp; Also check out my website at www.viccohen.com)<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://www.nbc.com/howie-do-it/blog/images/ANDREW%20CAMERA.JPG"><img alt="ANDREW CAMERA.JPG" src="http://www.nbc.com/howie-do-it/blog/assets_c/2009/04/ANDREW%20CAMERA-thumb-400x297-1134.jpg" class="mt-image-none" style="" height="297" width="400" /></a></span><br /><div><br />Andrew on camera.

        <![CDATA[<i>Hi everyone!&nbsp; In today's blog I need to address a personal issue in my life.&nbsp; I've been working very closely with one of my best friends, Howie Mandel for many years.&nbsp;&nbsp; And working with Howie on "Howie Do It" is truly a great honor.&nbsp; Yet over all this time, I'm ashamed to admit that Howie has never shaken my hand.&nbsp; Oh, we've come close.&nbsp; We once accidentally brushed hands as we scurried down a busy street... and there was the time we accidentally grabbed the same fork during lunch on the set.&nbsp;&nbsp; But we've never shared a real handshake.&nbsp; Not once.<br /><br />I know Howie has a medically diagnosed fear.&nbsp; However, I'm hoping that with this open and honest letter to him, perhaps he will consider shaking my hand.</i>&nbsp; <br /><br />Dear Howie,<br /><br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><img alt="vic_hand.jpg" src="http://www.nbc.com/howie-do-it/blog/images/vic_hand.jpg" class="mt-image-right" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 20px 20px; float: right;" height="220" width="275" /></span>I've personally witnessed you turn down the out reached hand of Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Corey Feldman (I understand turning down Corey Feldman).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />I deeply respect you and this condition that stops you from any and all hand shaking activities - both public and private.&nbsp;&nbsp; And while I feel it would be nearly impossible for anything to strengthen our bond, I do think we've reached a special stage in our relationship where we are both ready for an open - palm-to-palm - handshake.<br /><br />Howie, your traditional "fist-to-fist knuckle bump shake" is leaving me feeling empty.&nbsp; I need more.&nbsp;&nbsp; (There... I said it.&nbsp; Wow that feels good. )&nbsp; So here's what I'm willing to do to earn a traditional handshake from you:<br /><br />1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For the next thirty days I will condition my right hand two times a day with a gentle, slightly tropical scented lotion containing a hint of jojoba oil. <br /><br />2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I will shave and pluck all hairs on my knuckles and right palm. <br /><br />3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I will pay a top Los Angeles board certified dermatologist to examine my right hand for skin conditions including but not limited to blisters, boils, blackheads, ringworm, warts, hives, microscopic scabs, pustules and herpes.&nbsp; <br /><br />4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I will do my best to refrain from using my right hand in any *"sordid" activities, twenty minutes prior to our handshake.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />*sordid activities include anything that is gross.&nbsp; Yes, that... and that... and especially that! <br /><br />So, what do you think, Howie?&nbsp;&nbsp; Are you ready?&nbsp; Is it our time?&nbsp; My right hand is open, eagerly awaiting your reply.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Vic<br />]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>I have to admit, I've become addicted to dressing like a woman!  But enough about my private life. Actually these pictures of me were taken on the set of "Howie Do It."  This is the second time I've appeared on the show as a red hot sexy babe.  You'd think that by now I'd know how to dress like a woman.  But not so.  It took me TWENTY MINUTES to get my bra on.  Fortunately it was an 18 hour bra so I had plenty of time to spare.  (Truthfully, it took me so long because at first I put the bra on upside down.  They forgot to include an instruction manual!)</p>

<p>Now after seeing these stunning, mysterious photos of me as a gorgeous goth gal, I know what some of you may be wondering.  And the answer is absolutely, unequivocally NO!  Vic Cohen does NOT work nude.  But VICTORIA Cohen... I can't speak for her.  She is one VERY unpredictable lady.  </p>

<p>Well I'd love to sit and chit chat all day, but I have a horrible run in my stockings and I need to readjust my spanks.  They're chafing.  Wait a minute..  I just figured out the problem with the spanks.  I put them on upside down too! Ouch...  ouch... ouch. </p>

        <![CDATA[I need a moment to vent... okay maybe two moments... This is CRAZY!  I just flew home to Los Angeles from a shoot and the airline wanted to charge me an extra $125 PER SUITCASE just because each of my two suitcases weighed an itsy bitsy over 50 pounds.   
<br /><br />
They tried to shake me down for an additional charge of $250!  (This could've been a great hidden camera piece on "Howie Do It!")  Fortunately, I managed to get my suitcases under weight.  And if you saw me at the airport... yes, I was the jackass wearing six coats, four pairs of jeans and three hats.
<br /><br />
Here's what I don't understand about this $125 arbitrary suitcase charge... the airline told me that I could personally weigh 250 pounds and get on the plane with no problem - no extra charge.  But if that 250 pounds included my weight and the weight of my suitcases, that'd be an issue.   So, in summary...  If you're carrying extra weight in your suitcase, pay up!  If you're carrying extra weight in your ass, "Welcome aboard!"
<br /><br />
(And I hate to brag but I'm a GIFT to anyone sitting next to me.  I only weigh 150 pounds.  Plus I smell fantastic.  People sitting next to me should shower me with hugs, kisses and flowers.)
<br /><br />
If airlines are really looking for logical, common sense ways to make extra money charging passengers, I've come up with a few ideas:
<br /><br />
<div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Screaming baby:</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$1000 charge</div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Eating tuna fish or egg salad on plane:</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$1000</div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Tossing your cookies:</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$500</div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Body odor or breath like a garbage dump:</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$300</div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Coughing or sneezing:</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$250 (per cough or sneeze)</div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Clipping your nails:</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$200 per nail ($300 per big toe nail)</div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Clipping someone else's nails on plane:</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$400 per nail ($500 per big toe nail)</div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Polishing nails:</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$300 per nail</div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Wearing too much perfume or cologne:</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$300</div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Stinky feet</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$300 per foot</div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Wearing a tank top or shorts</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$200</div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Loud talking on cell phone:</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$200</div>
	<div style="width: 49%; float: left;">Dandruff:</div><div style="width: 49%; float: left;">$150</div>

Oh, I forgot to mention.  After I boarded the plane, there was a two-hour delay before take-off.  Mechanics had to unclog a toilet.  Whatever they pulled out of that toilet... I wonder what it weighed.   And who got charged?

It's been a crazy week for "Vic Cohen, People Person."&nbsp;&nbsp; (Don't you think it's creepy when people write about themselves in the third person?&nbsp; Vic can't stand that.) <br /><br />On Tuesday someone threatened to "break my head in" during the taping of one of our pieces - just a normal day at the office for me. Actually I'm kind of paraphrasing what<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"></span>
 the guy said, since this is a family blog.&nbsp; But he totally flipped out on me, just because he thought I married his fiancée.&nbsp; Some people can be so sensitive.&nbsp;&nbsp; (I actually was really married once.&nbsp; I got married on April Fool's Day.&nbsp; Bad idea.&nbsp; Very bad idea.)<br /><br />And this week I came down with the worst food poisoning of my life.&nbsp; I'm actually blogging you on the toilet.&nbsp; (Hey, I could be reading a "People" magazine, the newspaper or the phone book.&nbsp; But nooo, I chose to write you!)&nbsp; Excuse me a moment while I flush...&nbsp; Okay, I'm back.<br /><br />Now you may remember, in my last blog entry I put myself out there and asked you single women to contact me if you'd like to maybe "take our blog relationship to the next level."&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, that offer still stands!&nbsp; Contact me here.&nbsp; Again, please have less than 10 cats and no wicker baskets.<br /><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"></span><br />Finally, I've attached a shot of me that was taken on the "Howie Do It" set this week.&nbsp; What do you think of the 'stache?&nbsp; Should I keep it?&nbsp; I sold ten used cars that day.<br /><br />Vic<span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"></span>]]>

I just got an idea on how to turn this blog debacle to my advantage.&nbsp; I can turn this blog into a kind of dating site just for me - all on NBC's dime. What a great idea! <br /><br />If you're SINGLE (and preferably a woman.&nbsp; I mean only a woman), I'd love to hear from you!&nbsp; Please have less than 10 cats and no wicker baskets. <br />&nbsp;<br />Vic ]]>

        <![CDATA[In tonight's episode I have a role of an on the street interviewer.<br /><br />We filmed it in Universal Studios Hollywood, which was cool because not only was it fun filming, but on the breaks me and my dad would go on some of the rides.&nbsp; Anyway, In this episode I am interviewing a guy about what his favorite ride at the park is.&nbsp; Nothing seem right to me in the interview so I cut him off by putting my hand directly on his mouth.&nbsp; I'm not a complete germaphobe like my dad, and I do shake hand, but I still do not enjoy putting my hand on someone else's mouth.&nbsp; I figured as soon as I put my hand on his mouth, he is going to freak out and hit my hand away.&nbsp; To mine and the rest of the crew's surprise, he didn't even seem to mind.&nbsp; But thats not even the worst part.&nbsp; What you don't see on TV is that he actually begins to drool on my finger and breathes hot moist air all over my hands.&nbsp; I kept in character but inside I was going crazy.&nbsp; He stayed there with my hand on his mouth for like 15 minutes straight.&nbsp; Afterwards, my dad wouldn't go near me unless I washed my hands really well.&nbsp; The crew decided they would film it to show what it's like when my dad is forcing me to wash my hands.&nbsp; It was funny but the thing is, is that there was a film crew in the public bathroom while people were in the stalls pooping.&nbsp; The way we do this show is so much fun and very spontaneous.&nbsp; Any idea we get right that moment we could go out and shoot it.&nbsp; Nothing is scripted in any of the episodes and the things these people do without question are insane.&nbsp; We are always thinking of new ideas for these pranks like the one you will see me doing tonight.&nbsp; If you have an idea for a man on the street segment or a prank you would like to see me do, just comment on this blog and let me know.&nbsp; I'd like to know what you think of tonight's episode as well, so leave me some comments.&nbsp; Ill be back next week to write another entry.&nbsp; Enjoy tonight's episode!! ]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Hey guys, sorry about not posting last week, I had trouble with my
scheduling as we are still filming more of the pranks you have been
watching week to week.  Last week&#8217;s episode had so many funny pranks in
it.  I know a lot of people probably loved the full release yoga prank
with the two farting guys.  I&#8217;ve been asked the same question over and
over again about that one piece.  People ask me if the farting is real,
or if it was put in while editing.  The complete and honest truth is that
those two guys are actually professional farters that can fart in any
length, tone or pitch they want to.  As much as people may think it is a
fart machine or something like that, I assure you that it was 100% real
and smelled 100% disgusting.  </p>

<p>In case you guys missed the show last week, I was in that one too.  I did one called break-in makeover.  I told the mark that we were going to break into a house, take their old stuff out to the driveway, smash their old stuff to pieces with a bat,
and replace the items with brand new top of the line items. Everything went smoothly until midway while smashing the items when I realized oh no, we are at the wrong house.  At this point the mark begins to freak out.  To make it even worse, the police show up, and guess who the cop is.  It&#8217;s none other than my dad disguised as a cop.</p>

<p>I did this prank with three different marks and all went smoothly until
the last one when I decided hhhhmmm, I wonder what the mark would do if
I ran?  So of course what better way to find out than to try it, so I
did.  To my surprise he took off too.  He ran to the back yard and
jumped clear over an 8 ft. barbed wire fence.  We thought he was long
gone until we later found him behind a no trespassing sign on private
property.  I love this show because people always act in such different
ways.  </p>

<p>Tonight&#8217;s episode should be funny also.  In this episode they
trick a guy into appearing on a daytime talk show where he is led to
believe his marriage is on the rocks.  This prank is definitely worth
watching.  I&#8217;m also in this episode (without saying one word) doing a
prank with my dad where we tell a guy that we want him to test a new
ride at Universal before we actually build it.  Little does he know, the
ride is just me and my dad linking arms with him and running around in
circles as he describes what he likes and dislikes about the ride.  My
dad later gives him some water effects he might receive on the ride by
spraying his lap with water.  I just kept thinking in my head wow, this
guys takes this seriously no matter what we do to him.  People just
believe in pranks that we do because there is no reason they shouldn&#8217;t.
Nobody figures out its a prank because what they are doing is way out of
context.  </p>

<p>Of course you will see Vic in this episode, and by the episodes that already aired you should know that his pranks are definitely worth watching.  Also one of my favorite pranks that I watched was Manetensity, where they find a guy that loves his hair. They tell him they have a product to make his hair even better than it is now.  Sounds good right?  But this is Howie Do It.  Vic is in the chair next to him with the same product in his hair.  Everything is going great until Vic&#8217;s hair begins to fall out.  That is where I will leave it because the reaction that the mark has is priceless.  </p>

<p>Make sure to watch tonight.  I&#8217;ll be at my fraternity house (Alpha Epsilon Pi) watching this episode with all my friends and I hope you do the same.  Goodbye for now until next week.</p>

<p>~Alex</p>
