Howie Mandel

Howie Mandel has transitioned from stand-up comedian and actor to a well-known television personality, producer, and advocate for mental health awareness. After a breakthrough performance at The Comedy Store that led to appearances on ‘Make Me Laugh’ in 1979, Howie Mandel went on to establish himself as a versatile talent across stand-up, acting, and hosting. His early career momentum included opening for David Letterman, a CBS comedy special in 1980, and a lead role in the Canadian film ‘Gas’ (1981). Mandel further diversified his presence as one of the original ‘VeeJays’ on Nickelodeon’s music video series ‘PopClips.’ He gained national recognition with his six-year run as Dr.

Expanding his reality television footprint, Mandel launched ‘Howie Do It’ in 2009, premiered the flash-mob reality show ‘Mobbed’ in 2011, and hosted the game show ‘Take It All’ in 2012. He also executive produced the series ‘Deal with It’ from 2013 to 2014. In 2010, Mandel joined ‘America’s Got Talent’ as a judge, a tenure that has now spanned over a decade, making him one of the show’s longest-serving panelists. Leveraging his personal experiences with OCD and ADHD, he has become a leading advocate for mental health awareness, sharing his story in his autobiography, ‘Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me’ (2009).

In recent years, Mandel has continued to innovate across media platforms. Since 2021, he has co-hosted the successful ‘Howie Mandel Does Stuff Podcast’ alongside his daughter, extending his reach into digital audio. In 2022, he starred as the host of ‘Bullsht: The Game Show’ for Netflix and joined ‘Canada’s Got Talent’ as a judge, further solidifying his presence in his home country. Looking ahead, Mandel is set to host a Canadian spin-off of ‘The Price Is Right,’ announced for 2025, continuing his legacy as a fixture in global entertainment.
