Dick De Bartolo, in addition to hosting the Daily Giz Wiz podcast and being Mad Magazine’s Maddest Writer, reviews gizmos and gadgets on World News Now, ABC’s overnight news program. (Remember when Anderson Cooper co-anchored the show?) And this week on World News Now, Dick De Bartolo is featuring TOM BIHN bags.

If you don’t already watch or record World News Now, we recommend watching or setting your DVRs to record the show tonight (aka Friday morning.) World News Now airs at 2AM or later — exactly when depends on your local ABC station, so be sure to check your channel guide for days and times.

And remember: this is television! If there’s a huge breaking news story, TOM BIHN bags might be moved to another show/day. If that happens,
we’ll let you know.

Once you’ve seen the show, be sure to let us know what you thought of the show in the TOM BIHN Forums.
