Howie Mandel
Howard Michael "Howie" Mandel (born November 29, 1955) is a Canadian comedian, actor, television host and voice actor. He is well known as host of the NBC game show ''Deal or No Deal'', as well as the show's daytime and Canadian-English counterparts. Before his career as a game show host, Howie Mandel was best known for his role as rowdy ER intern Dr. Wayne Fiscus on the NBC medical drama ''St. Elsewhere''. He is also well known for being the creator and star of the children's cartoon ''Bobby's World''. On June 6, 2009, he hosted the 2009 Game Show Awards on GSN. Mandel became a judge on NBC's ''America's Got Talent'', replacing David Hasselhoff, in the fifth season of the reality talent contest. Mandel has mysophobia (an irrational fear of germs) to the point that he does not shake hands with anyone, including contestants on ''Deal or No Deal'', unless he is wearing latex gloves.
==Early life==
Mandel was born and lived in the Willowdale area of Toronto, Ontario. Mandel is Jewish (his ancestors emigrated from Romania and Poland) and a distant cousin to violinist Itzhak Perlman. His father was a lighting manufacturer and a real estate agent.〔(Howie Mandel Biography (1954–) (Film Reference) )〕 After getting expelled from his high school (William Lyon Mackenzie Collegiate Institute) for impersonating a member of the school board and signing a construction contract to make an addition to his school, Mandel became a carpet salesman who would later open a carpet sales business of his own. He was a stand-up comedian at Yuk Yuk's in Toronto and by September 1978 had a week-long booking as featured act, billed as "a wild and crazy borderline psychotic."〔Toronto Star, September 12, 1978, p. D1〕 His repertoire included placing a latex glove over his head and inflating it by blowing through his nose, the fingers of the glove extending above his head like a cockscomb. When the audience reacted uproariously to that and similar antics, his trademark response was to extend his arms palms up, look incredulous, and ask "What? What?"
On a trip to Los Angeles, Mandel performed a set at The Comedy Store, which resulted in his becoming a regular performer there. A producer for the comedic game show ''Make Me Laugh'' saw him and booked Mandel for several appearances during the show's run in 1979. He was booked to open for David Letterman at shows in the summer of 1979.〔Toronto Star, July 19, 1979, p. C6〕 CBC-TV's head of variety programming saw his performance in October 1979 and immediately signed him for a TV special. In 1980, he won the lead role in the Canadian movie ''Gas'', co-starring Susan Anspach and Donald Sutherland.
Mandel was one of the first "VeeJays" to appear on Nickelodeon's music video series, ''Pop Clips''.
