What a HOOT this guy is! “Howie” Mandel is well known as host of the NBC game show Deal or No Deal. He was also known for his role in St. Elsewhere. He was also the creator of the children’s cartoon Bobby’s World. Mandel has mysophobia (an irrational fear of germs) to the point that he does not shake hands with anyone, including contestants on Deal or No Deal, unless he is wearing latex gloves.
“Howie” would probably enjoy this pic. (This is what bacteria on our hands looks like when grown in a lab.)
Mandel’s signature stunt as a stand-up comedian (besides his Bobby alter-ego) was stretching a latex glove over his head and inflating it with his nostrils, filling it until it suddenly propelled itself off his head. He eventually gave up the routine under doctor’s orders after being diagnosed with a perforated sinus. ….Poor Howie. =p
A beautiful moment in media history happened when a powerful media company chose to do something unprecedented that was very heartfelt. HBO used their media power to help the weakest people in our society, the homeless. ~ They gave a social voice and helped vulnerable people regain some dignity and respect. ~ Thank you!
With hearts full of love and many years of hard work, Whoopie Goldberg, Billy Crystal and Robin Williams hosted many fundraising events for the homeless. Much of what we are sharing with Comic Relief hasn’t been seen in 20 years and this is a great legacy to echo.
WORDS AND IDEAS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!
Words and ideas CAN change the world.(Choose wisely, please.)
About the project: Instead of “liking” Robin and all that he stood for, you are being invited to be Robin for someone else. Let’s echo an immense legacy and fill the world with MORE love.
Let’s rise to the occasion and show that all the love Robin has given to us mattered in imagining and creating a better world for us all.
