I'd also like to congratulate Yaqi. I thought he did a great job under very tough circumstances, and he also taught Howard how to be a better tickler, so the next time Howard tickles a female celeb, he might get a better reaction! As far as Howard goofing on Yaqi, well, I expected that. Howard goofs on a lot of people, and that's one reason he's so popular. Personally, I like Howard, because he speaks his mind. He's not a phony, like so many PC Hollywood celebs! At least he's open-minded enough to have Yaqi on his show. I do think he started to warm up to Yaqi towards the end. Who knows, Yaqi might become a regular on the show. I also expected some negative phone calls about tickling fetishes being weird, but the only negative calls were directed towards Yaqi himself. While I didn't necessarily enjoy hearing Yaqi being attacked by callers, I'm glad nobody called up saying that tickling is weird or childish. And last but not least, I like Artie a lot better than Jackie!
Just my $.02
