Profile of Howie Mandel, Host of NBC's Deal or No Deal
Comedian Turned Game Show Host
When Howie Mandel was born in Toronto, Canada on November 29, 1955 I don't think he expected his career to start the way it did. Howie Mandel's career started on a dare from his friends. Not only did Howie Mandel do what he was dared to do, but he got lucky doing it.
In 1979, at the age of 24, Howie Mandel and his friends attended the Comedy Store, in Los Angeles, on amateur night, and his friends dared him to get onto the stage and try his luck. Little did Howie and his friends know, there was a producer amongst the crowd that night, and when Howie acted on the dare, the producer instantly hired him to make an appearance on the game-show "Make Me Laugh." However, "Make Me Laugh" was not the only entertainment Howie Mandel done. "Make Me Laugh" was only the beginning of Howie Mandel's entertainment career. "Make Me Laugh" started Howie Mandel on his road to success.
After "Make Me Laugh," Howie Mandel went on to appear on talk shows, and he even done an opening act for Diana Ross. Later, Howie Mandel played "Dr. Wayne Fiscus," on the award-winning NBC drama, "St. Elsewhere." But it didn't stop there; his biggest success was the Emmy Award-nominated children series, "Bobby's World." "Bobby's World" ran for eight seasons on FOX, and it now appears in syndication. Howie was the creator and executive producer of "Bobby's World." In addition, Howie was also involved in the writing of "Bobby's World," and he was the voice of Bobby, Bobby's dad and additional characters in the series.
Today, Howie Mandel makes many appearances on "The Tonight Show" where he performs his signature hidden-camera bits. In addition to "The Tonight Show," Howie Mandel is the host of NBC's "Deal or No Deal." "Deal or No Deal" is a game show based on luck. I guess Howie figures if got lucky, then just maybe he can help make someone else lucky. The only difference in Howie's luck and the game show is: Howie's luck came as success in the entertainment industry, and his contestant's luck could come in the form of one million dollars. "Deal or No Deal" can be seen on NBC every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (7:00 p.m. CST).
Howie Mandel married his wife Terry Mandel in March 1980, and together they had three children - Jackie (born in 1985), Riley (born in 1993) and Alex (born in 1990). Howie currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and their three children.

Howie Mandel I'll love to go to the show.But I don't have a video camara. Can you help me so can i be in the show i will love it for me & my mother so i can maker her dreams
I love your game show, "Deal or No Deal" and watch you every day. I also have the DVD game and play it every day so I know I would do well. I have recently been out of work and my elderly mother has rescued me financially so the money I would win I would give most to my mother. If I would win the million, I would buy a house so I would no more waste money on rent and be able to provide for my mentally handicapped son. My e-mail is kalinka1962@kittymail.com.
