About Howie Mandel
By September 1978, he had a week-long gig and was the featured act; he was billed as “a wild and crazy borderline psychotic.” He made a trip to LA and performed at The Comedy Store, which led to him performing there regularly. One of Make Me Laugh’s producers (a comedic game show) saw him and booked him for numerous appearances during the show’s run in 1979. He was also booked to open for David Letterman in the summer of 79. He got the lead in a Canadian movie called Gas, which co-starred Susan Anspach and Donald Sutherland in 1980.
While he worked on St. Elsewhere, he continued working as a comedian and actor; he played the voice of Gizmo in the 1984 hit movie Gremlins and its sequel in 1990 Gremlins 2: The New Batch; he played the voices of Bunsen Honeydew, Animal and Skeeter in Muppet Babies, but inexplicably left the show after Season 2; and played Maurice in 1989’s “Little Monsters.” Currently, he’s hosting Deal or No Deal, the popular US game show that airs on NBC; the Canadian version called Deal or No Deal Canada airs on Global. He’ll be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2008.
