Howie Mandel (2014)

Hello, Howie! Until an hour ago, I had no idea you were the voice of Gizmo in the Gremlins movies. Anyway, my question for you: has anyone ever told you that you look like the lead singer of Disturbed, David Draiman?

What was it like working on Lois and Clark, on the episode "Twas the night before Mxymas" as Mr Mxyzptlk?

What is your favorite film?

If you hadn't gotten into showbiz, where do you see yourself being today? What is your favorite dinosaur?

Hi Howie,

I grew up watching Bobby's World. Great show.

Do you dislike having to talk about how you look like the guy who is in Train?

It is uncanny.

Hi Howie, I enjoyed Deal or No Deal when it was on the air, but my coworkers insist on watching re-runs of the show on GSN every day during my lunch hour in the break room. Again, I enjoy the show, just not EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. How can I politely tell them that we should maybe watch something else during lunch?

Howie,
If you had to choose a case, what # would you choose?

Deal...or no deal?

Hi Howie! I really enjoyed Bobby's World growing up, and now my kids do, too, so thanks for that.

You played a very memorable cult-leader in an episode of Monk, one of my favorite TV shows. How did you get involved in that? Were you already a fan of the show? And did any of the character's message ring true to yourself (not the cult-leader part, moreso the Monk-breaking-free-from-his-OCD part).

Hello Howie, Thanks for taking time to do this on Reddit. Do you have an opinion on "recreational marijuana"?

And???

Who was the most memorable contestant on Deal or No Deal?

who would win in a fist fight, you or ronnie the limo driver?

Have you ever oiled your head up?

What's being a judge on AGT actually like?

I see you have an old school T-shirt for sale in your shop, the one where you had lovely 80's hair. When did it become necessary to shave it? You look amazing then and now, btw.

Little Monsters was a big part of my childhood. It's one of those films like feels like a dream. I watched it on VHS countless times and then many years went by until the DVD release. Re-watching, the nostalgia was strong and I still can't get "Road To Nowhere" out of my head. I have a few questions, but any answers will plenty satisfying.

• I just have to know how much fun you had playing Maurice. You seemed to have a real passion for the role, truly becoming one with the character.

• How was working with the Savage boys and do you all still stay in touch? Was it tough staying appropriate around kids on set, since you're a raunchy comedian? Were you like Bob Saget in his Full House days? I hear he had issues holding back at times.

• Where the hell did Daniel Stern go? He disappeared faster than my youth.

I just want to thank you for your role in entertaining 80's/90's kids. Bobby's World and Little Monsters kept us entertained for many weekends. You made checking TV Guide something I looked forward to.

What's your favorite song?

Did you know beforehand where the million dollar case is hiding?

What was it like voicing Gizmo? What was the most difficult scene to do?

What was the best part of filming Bobby's World?

What was your favorite show to host?

Hello, and thank you.

Do you have any advice for someone whos doesn't know what they want to with their life? How does one push foward when all seems so meaningless? Im sure its hard to relate when one have kids but please try.

What's the worst situation you've been in were you had to hide your germophobia? Also please bring back Bobby's world

How do you keep your head so shiny?

Oh! And I have OCD too. I can't touch money because it is the dirtiest thing on earth. What do you do when it comes to money, doorknobs and buttons such as elevators?

Hello Howie!

Whats the thing in life you enjoy most?

Whats your biggest worry about life in general, besides germs and death?

Thanks for doing an ama!

Hey Howie! Used to love watching Deal or No Deal with my parents, it was a great bonding experience!

What's your most memorable moment from that show?

Also Howie, what can you tell us about the banker? Why did he call crap numbers 99.9% of the time?

Who in Hollywood do you want to punch in the face, and who in Hollywood would answer "Howie Mandel" to that question?

(I watched Bobby's World all the time as a kid in the 90's by the way, it was my favorite cartoon for a while, to the point where all my gifts that year were Bobby's World crap. I loved it.)

If you could invent the Ford Escort how would you invent it?

Hey Mandel,

Just wanted to say I really loved Bobby's World. It was in heavy rotation in my things-to-watch-before-school lineup.

Do you like doing voice-over work more or do you prefer what you're doing now?

Nice. Very nice.

You're a champ, Hows. Always liked ya. You were one of the best. From Timbuktu to Portland, ME. Or Portland, OR, for that matter.

But seriously, love, love, loved Bobby's World.

Do you realize you guys kind of ripped of Impractical Jokers? I mean it doesn't matter but, kind of?

Hey Howie, how do you think Bobby Generic would do on an episode of Deal or No Deal?

Speaking of which, thanks for doing Bobby's World. It was one of my favorite shows as a little kid, for corn sakes!

Hi Howie! Which fellow judge from America's Got Talent do you enjoy working with most?

Also any funny stories that happen behind stage we dont see?

Hey Howie, did you ever play a game of deal or no deal just for fun? If so, how did it turn out?

What has been the most interesting talent you've seen on AGT?

Can I have a handshake?

Hi Howie. I'm always impressed with your ability to commit to the fist-bump, no matter how awkward the encounter. Do you ever run into someone just as committed to the shake? If so, have you ever given in? What if they are REALLY important?

Howie, what's the backstory on the new show? Looks like fun!

What's the worst act you've ever seen audition on AGT?

What is the best piece of work you've ever done and why is it Bobby's World?

What TV shows (other than the ones you're in) do you enjoy watching?

Hey Howie, do you know the answer to this question?

[deleted]

So if, hypothetically speaking, your mysophobia was cured, would you grow your hair back? Or do you like the bald look too much?

Hi Howie! What was your strangest encounter behind the scenes with some of the contestants on your shows? Did you ever fear for your safety?

Hi Howie, I have seen in interviews and such that you have been affected by OCD throughout your life. Do you remember any strange or funny situations you have been through as a result of it? (Hopefully this does not sound offensive as it is not my intention)

What do you see yourself doing in the future, after you finish hosting/judging the various shows you are currently in?

What was it like kissing Howard Stern?

Hi, Howie! My husband and I are huge fans and we absolutely love your work. He just learned a week ago that you voiced Bobby in "Bobby's World". How did You like performing on Bobby's World and do you have any advice for an aspiring voice actor?

Hello! I was going to ask what has been one of your favorite show/movie/project you've worked on?

Will Deal or No Deal ever return?

Hey Howie! My friend and I watched Howie Would so many times when we were teens, trying to keep our laughter quiet to not wake up our respective mothers. I especially remember a Bobby bit that you do where the "mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird" song turns completely demented. It was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen, and it's safe to say you had a hand in informing my slightly sick sense of humor to this day. Seeing your appearance in The Aristocrats was pretty awesomely nostalgic for me! Do you miss having your old off-the-wall public image at all?

Thanks for the memories!

Hi, Howie! What's a YouTube video that never fails to make you laugh?

What's your favourite kind of muffin?

If I were to make you a sandwhich what would you want on it? Any topping you can think of
