Good clip!  However, John M. is one of the few men that does not look good bald.  Maybe it's just me.

No, he definitely didn't look happy but I think it looked good on him.  Here's a better quality video that shows the final result:

I AGREE! Weird too, it's not because he's chubby...chubby dudes can look awesome bald and usually do..

not sure why it's NOT workin'?!

The only thing I can see wrong is that he clearly doesn't like it and is not exhibiting that ol' sly attitude.  I think he looks OK, though.

After watching that second video , I think he would look at lot better if he took a razor to it and had a shine. He looks drab with just the buzz and I think a smooth noggin and a nice glossy shine would do it for him !!    O0

When they showed that backstage shot, I thought the barber was about to shave him with the razor, but alas, no.   :(

Yeah, and I wonder if he will keep it or grow it right back ??

I'm pretty sure he'll be growing it back ASAP:

He did NOT look like he was having a good time.

Back when I was a fencesitter, I used to wish that somebody would "force" me into a bet like that, one that I was sure to "lose".  I'd have given anything to have had an excuse to shave my head.  I'm not sure why he's so upset by it.  It's not like 20 or 30 years ago when a shaved head was really an oddity.

I think it looks good.
But, yes, his discomfort with the look doesn't help.

His discomfort with the look makes me want to smack him in the head.

I saw him last night on the Tonight Show and I thought he didn't look to bad.  Maybe he is adjusting.

Is he letting it grow back?

And for that matter, who would want hair like his?
