Howie Mandel stars as the host of NBC's game show, "Deal or No Deal," and on NBC's reality prank show, "Howie Do It."

Howie Mandel's versatile career has encompassed virtually all aspects of the entertainment spectrum, ranging from television to film and stage. From Howie Mandel's work on the Emmy Award-winning "St. Elsewhere" to the international (and also Emmy-nominated) "Bobby's World," Howie Mandel has become a mainstay of the American comedy scene.

Howie Mandel started his career on a dare during a trip to Los Angeles in 1979. Howie Mandel was at the legendary Comedy Store on amateur night and was coaxed by his friends to get up and try his luck. As fate would have it, there was a producer in the crowd who immediately hired Howie Mandel to appear on the comedy game-show "Make Me Laugh." Howie Mandel's appearance on the show led to talk-show appearances, a stint as Diana Ross' opening act and, eventually, to the television series "St. Elsewhere," where he spent six seasons as Dr. Wayne Fiscus on the NBC drama.

Howie Mandel's Emmy-nominated animated children series "Bobby's World" ran eight seasons on Fox and now appears in syndication six days a week in 65 countries. As the series' creator and executive producer, Howie Mandel was closely involved in its writing, as well as providing the voice of Bobby, Bobby's dad and other characters. Howie Mandel attributes the show's success to drawing the storylines from real life.

Howie Mandel has done countless comedy specials both on cable and network television. Howie Mandel has also hosted his own syndicated talk show "The Howie Mandel Show," and continues to be a mainstay on the talk-show circuit. Howie Mandel frequently appears on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," performing his signature hidden-camera bits. Howie Mandel also is one of the first people that Regis Philbin calls to fill in for him when he takes a vacation from "Live with Regis and Kelly." Howie Mandel also continues to perform as many as 200 concerts a year throughout the United States and Canada.

Howie Mandel lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Terry, and their three children.
