Known nationally and worldwide for his appearances in the entertainment industry as well as his creatively cunning humor, Howie Mandel has hit a funny bone in audiences of all ages. Best known for his roles on “Bobby’s World” and “St. Elsewhere”, the host of “Deal or No Deal”, and judge on “America’s Got Talent”, Mandel has received a star on Hollywood’s walk of fame in late September of 2008.

Mandel, initially a carpet salesman, began his career as a comedian at Yuk Yuk’s in Toronto, Canada performing week long acts, which immediately caught popularity. On a trip to Los Angeles, Mandel was dared by friends to perform at The Comedy Store on amateur night. The now famous comedian was then discovered by a producer from the comedic game show Make Me Laugh and booked him for several appearances. Since his discovery, Mandel’s career in the entertainment industry has been on a constant all time high.

As Mandel quickly transitioned into the faced paced Hollywood lifestyle, he has produced and secured roles for essentially all aspects of the entertainment spectrum- television, film, and stage. He also recently received an Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Reality/Competition Host" for "Deal or No Deal" and a Daytime Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Game Show Host" for the syndicated version of the show.

Currently, Mandel continues to be a judge on “America’s Got Talent” as well as the host for Jay Leno’s hidden-camera bits and resides in Los Angeles with his wife and three children. Get ready to leave the bergenPAC laughing in tears after seeing Howie Mandel in action LIVE at the bergenPAC.
