The other guy, Andrew Sandler, is not entirely unlike ad-man Deutsch, in that he inherited his business from his father. Apparently he grew suspicious of wife Lisa, hired a private eye and ended up with a picture of the two kissing.

All this is now known because an anonymous source fed the info to Six, and neither Sandler (pictured) or his lawyer are bothering to deny anything, saying only "we're trying to work this out amicably." Good luck with that, especially with two kids involved.

Narcissist though he may be, Deutsch is unmarried, raising the question of why this whole mess was leaked. It seems most likely that Sandler wanted to embarrass Deutsch (though he declined to comment to Six, officially) and hurt his luster in the ad world and his chances of hosting a TV show again. It's hard to imagine how anyone else (like Deutsch) would know when the PI was hired, for example.

But Deutsch doesn't seem like the type to show much embarrassment over anything. When we wrote about him in May, two commenters mentioned his prowess in the sack. It's entirely possible he was proud of his conquest. Hopefully the bad publicity will instill some reticence about being in the spotlight. Shame is probably too much to ask for.

• He's an unjustified narcissist. He once ripped off his shirt in front of an Ad Age reporter, and came to regret it, because she didn't find it as charming as he had hoped. That didn't stop his penchant for ripping off his shirt during interviews though—it continues to this day. Google it.
• He wants to run for mayor of New York. Or more accurately, he likes to talk about running for mayor of New York in order to generate buzz for himself. He got a big teasing feature in New York Magazine five years ago touting the idea, and his latest profile—in the most recent issue of his own school's alumni magazine[via Intelligencer]—leads with the same idea. In reality, no matter how many consultants he hires, this self-important (but not really important) man will never be mayor of New York. We'd be astounded if he was even dumb enough to run, although we certainly encourage him to do so for our own amusement.
• He didn't earn it. Deutsch even described himself as "a member of the lucky sperm club," because his father founded his agency and later handed him the reigns. Certainly, Donny deserves credit for growing it to its current massive scale, and lots of people admire him for his hard work. But he hasn't made everyone a friend along the way. Steve Dworin, the former president of his agency, sued him in 2006 for breach of contract, and in his complaint said much of Deutsch's problems stemmed from his "insecurity" over getting his firm "on a silver platter." (Dworin was mad that Deutsch talked bad about him in his book, but later went on to ask Deutsch for a job reference. Bonus demerits: hiring mixed-up backstabbers).
• His overbearing nature makes his show an annoyance to watch. Fellow CNBC-er Jim Cramer has this same trait, but his show is much more successful than Deutsch's. Perhaps it's the unavoidable sense that Deutsch would be better suited to an infomercial than to a talk show. Or editorial decisions like, for example, including Ivanka Trump in a show about young "entrepreneurs."

  
  

• He's an ad guy. But not just your average, abashed, I'm-really-a-creative-person ad guy. Deutsch has the same self-assurance of his own brilliance that many of his peers have, but he has dialed up the in-your-face quality of his own personal brand by several notches over the industry standard. He's not inauthentic; rather, he lets it all hang out—including his shirtless torso—and what hangs out is something you'd rather not see. He is a man we'd prefer not hear from quite as much, or at all.

Jennifer:

Terrence, I was wondering if you could comment further on your remarks in Elle regarding baby wipes and your feelings about them.

I stated my position pretty clearly. More people need to use them. This is a very serious subject. What more is there to say?

How many women have you tried to convert?

Ok, and that's it. No more questions. Time to end.

Fin.

Update: Looks like baby-wipes weren't one of Terrence's smarter suggestions. That, or he has a plumber on retainer!

How to be an A-list blogger according to J.C.:

• Go to Techememe
• Blog something intelligent about the top story of the day
• Link to and mention all the people who have said something intelligent
• Repeat for 30 days
• Go to a couple conferences a month
• You're an A-list blogger.

The blogosphere is the ultimate meritocracy..."It's not broken, you suck" (when someone complains that they don't get traffic).

Really? I thought it was because of mutual masturbation...uh...I mean trackbacks... yeah... trackbacks.

After the jump, Jason Calacanis on why Jason Calacanis rules

Someone just told me this is the best keynote they ever heard in four years. Frankly, I was tired and didn't know what to say since the business of blogging is so well established... so I just told my story.

That was the opener to Jason Calacanis' post on his site today, as he compiles praise from bloggers in attendance, the summary was this: "I could have done that keynote drunk and left-handed, revel in my awesomeness." But Jason wasn't quite done crapping out unicorns and sneezing rainbows as he also announced his newest endeavor:

JASON CALACANIS LAUNCHES NEW SHOW ON PODTECH NETWORK
PodTech and Calacanis pioneering media philanthropy with podcast channel sponsorships of over $100,000 donated to education.

That's right, he's gone to kissing babies for publicity. Don't get me wrong, it is a noble cause, but he's still a douchebag.
