Howie Mandel Bio
Howie Mandel, whose real name is Howard Michel Mandel and was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on November 29, 1955, is a very popular TV host, comedian, and actor in both his home country of Canada and the United States.
Howie had a lot of problems as a teenager. He was so bad that he was kicked out of high school for making fun of a police officer and hiring a construction company to make “necessary” changes to the school.
After a few tries, Howie did finally graduate. He was a door-to-door carpet salesman for a while, but decided it wasn’t for him.
Career
Howie Mandel’s professional career started in comedy when he joined shows like the Canadian Yuk Yuk’s in 1978 and the Comedy Store in Los Angeles from 1979 to 1980, among other TV shows and productions.
Howie really started to become well-known in the United States in the early 1980s. At that time, he was offered a part in the popular medical show St. Elsewhere. Howie was in that series with other famous actors like Denzel Washington, Mark Harmon, and David Morse. St. Elsewhere is thought to be one of the first medical shows that showed what it was really like to work in a hospital every day.
During those years, Mandel’s career was mostly defined by three things: series, dubbing, and makeup. In 1984’s hit movie Gremlins and 1990’s Gremlins 2, he voiced the character Gizmo as part of his voiceover work. In 1984 and 1985, he also gave voices to characters on the TV show Muppet Babies.
Howie kept working hard as a comedian, but he also took part in as many productions as he could. The Iceman Hummeth, A Fine Mess, Walk Like a Man, and Good Grief were some of the shows that were put on. With the kids’ animated show Bobby’s World, Howie’s first period of success came to an end. Howie made this show and gave the main character and some of the other characters their voices.
Howie was also the show’s writer and executive producer. The show ran for eight seasons on Fox from 1990 to 1998 and was so popular that it was nominated for an Emmy. Howie made a lot of money during this time because he was already well-known in North America as a comedian and showman.
After Bobby’s World was sold to Fox in the late 1990s, Howie Mandel worked hard on his new TV show, The Howie Mandel Show, but it didn’t do very well. Before being canceled in 1999, the show only ran for two seasons. Hidden Howie: The Private Life of a Public Nuisance, which was another of Howie’s shows from that time, also did not do well.
Howie acted and did voice work in movies like Apocalypse III, The Tangerine Bear, and Hansel and Gretel in the early 2000s. But it wasn’t until 2005 that his career started to pay off in a big way. He was asked to be the game host on the TV show Deal or No Deal, where contestants had a chance to win an estimated $1 million at the beginning of their contracts. The show was a big hit in both the US and Canada. During its first season, 10–16 million people watched each episode on average.
Forbes says that Mandel was paid about $750,000 per episode to host Deal or No Deal. This TV show also earned him a nomination for an Emmy Award. Later in 2010, Howie Mandel became famous all over the world when NBC asked him to replace David Hasselhoff as a judge on the TV show America Got Talent.
America’s Got Talent has been a huge success all over the world. In the United States alone, up to 16 million people watch it every week. Howie Mandel has been on the show from season 5 until now, which is 11 seasons. This makes him the host who has been on the show the longest.
Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me
Howie Mandel is also best-selling author. In 2010, he wrote a book called Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me, which became an instant hit in the US. The book, published by Bantam Books, is a kind of autobiography in which he uses humor to talk about his OCD and ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder).
He has also said that this book is essentially a love letter to his wife who has helped him coped with his numerous mental health conditions.
This excellent best-selling book is not solely centered around his OCD but also has numerous anecdotes and stories from his life told with his classic comedic style. There are also detailed accounts of many of the practical jokes Mandel played on others throughout his life.
