Howie Mandel, who is Howard Stern's co-host on "America's Got Talent," joined the Stern Show Wednesday morning to promote his hidden camera show show "Deal With It"--and perhaps "Make It Rain with Ronnie Mund"?

The concept: "Make It Rain With Ronnie Mund" would star the only and only Ronnie Mund (aka Ronnie the Limo Driver) as the "every man's entry into strip clubs," said Mandel.

It would be like Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares", but for strip clubs! Ronnie would show up to a sleazy, run-down strip club and give it a regular make over: club remodel, menu revamp, and all.

Apparently they got pretty far in to the production process, going to pitch meetings and establishing the idea of the show, but everyone eventually agreed there was no way this concept was going to take off.

"I think it's a good idea. I don't think it's about the nudity, I think it's about the people," Mandel said. "Everyone in Hollywood knows [Howard Stern] and knows [The Howard Stern Show]." But it wasn't enough to bite.

Stern, who generally didn't want anything to do with show, talked to Ronnie and eventually broke the news that it just wasn't going to fly.

While at meetings for his many other shows, Mandel would discreetly try to pitch the show to producers, but nobody wanted to buy it. "It was heartbreaking for me," Mandel said.

What do you think? Would you watch a show featuring Ronnie Mund fixing up strip clubs?
