Jackie Mandel’s Father, Howie Mandel
Born Howard Michael Mandel on the 29th November 1955, in Toronto, Ontario Canada, of Polish Jewish ancestry, he also traces roots from Romania – his distant cousin is Itzhak Perlman, a famous Israeli violinist.
He went to William Lyon Mackenzie Collegiate, but was expelled because he impersonated a school official in order to hire a construction company to build an addition to the school. After this, he focused on his career as a comedian.
Career Start
Before he became a famous comedian and TV personality, Howie was making a fool out of himself at the national comedy club, Yuk Yuk in Toronto. He became the club’s regular as the fans loved him; during his routine, he would place a latex glove over his head and blow through the nose to inflate the glove and the latex fingers would come over his head as a cockscomb.
He then went to Los Angeles where he performed at The Comedy Store, and was hired as a regular performer. Soon after, he made his first on-screen appearance in the TV show “Make Me Laugh”, and then featured as an opening act for David Letterman in shows during the summer of 1979. He became the main face of CBC-TV, and in 1980 secured his first starring role in the film “Gas”, next to Susan Anspach and Donald Sutherland.
Rise to Prominence
Howie became a star in the early ‘80s, thanks largely to the role of Dr. Wayne Fiscus in the TV series “St. Elsewhere”, appearing in 137 episodes of the highly popular series.
During the ‘80s he also provided the voice to Gizmo, a cute Gremlin in the film “Gremlins” in 1984, and its sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch”, though the film was released in 1990. He starred in several other projects in the ‘80s, including films “A Fine Mess” (1986) and “Walk Like a Man” from 1987.
Throughout the ‘90s he became more focused on his career as a comedian, touring the US with his routine, but also appearing in a number of TV series, as well as providing the voice to several characters from animated series. Furthermore, he also hosted his own “The Howie Mandel Show” (1998-1999), but it was in the 2000s that he has reached his full potential.
