...producer Scott ("the Snot") St. John (that's what he calls himself in the credits), who, with Brian Graden, co-created Studs, the dating-game show that was just as rude and compelling as St. John's new creation. The old show benefited from the wit of host Mark DeCarlo, who should be forced back into the host's chair. But then again, Magic Johnson couldn't mess up this...

We watch the ritual for a moment--then the rap beat begins to blast, the credits begin to roll and DeCarlo walks in front of the camera, spouting some nonsense about the evening's spectacle.

Be thankful for small favors...
