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.
