Mr. Doubletalk

Durwood Fincher's Doublespeak Pranks

From Mike Durrett, for About.com

At first glance, Durwood Fincher is a motivational speaker or, perhaps, an authority figure conducting interviews. That's his mischievous cover. He's actually a practical joker on the prowl with a keen gift for doublespeak.

Appearing at corporate events and other situations, he's inserted into the proceedings under false pretenses without audiences or his targets briefed in advance. Fincher spouts volumes of sincere chatter, yet only about every third word means anything, especially to his marks, who struggle to be polite. They're left to hang in the wind, stumped by each double talk comment.

On Mr. Doubletalk's site, streaming videos featuring put-ons from Live With Regis and Kathie Lee and Live With Regis and Kelly are playable on demand, as are pranks with everyday people and no Regis. Find the candid clips on the home page.
