Howie Mandel and Arrested Development?

[editor]

Ok, I'm feeling dense... here is an Arrested Development reference that I don't get:

Exploiting his success on Deal or No Deal, Howie Mandel pranks people on the new series Howie Do It (8 p.m., WPTV-Ch. 5, WTVJ-Ch. 6). We're guessing he probably doesn't realize the title is basically an Arrested Development joke.

What joke are they referring to?

Perhaps the "Howdedodats" reference GOB uses regarding people who are amazed by his tricks.
