Eric the Gay Smurf?

After Shuli reported that Eric the Midget had expressed his willingness to return to the show, Johnny Fratto–Eric’s manager–called in to say Eric’s lone condition would hurt Howard’s brain: “He wants to do the red carpet for Smurfs.”

Howard said he had a condition of his own: “Will Eric dress as a Smurf?”

Johnny said Eric just might: “This motherf’er collects Smurfs!”

Howard later amended his offer: “If he holds a sign that says, ‘I’m a gay Smurf’…and he has to dress like a gay Smurf.”
