The McCoy Center for the Arts will host comedian Howie Mandel, on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at 8 pm.
Howie Mandel is a comedy icon, a master of quick wit, and one of the most dynamic performers you’ll ever see. With over four decades of experience, he has captivated audiences worldwide, whether as the hilarious host of Deal or No Deal, a beloved judge on America's Got Talent, or as a stand-up legend whose unpredictable, high-energy sets are the stuff of comedy gold. Howie’s charm lies in his ability to mix razor-sharp humor with real-life stories, creating a comedy experience that’s both relatable and outrageously funny.
Howie Mandel has remained a constant force in show business for more than 30 years. He can currently be seen on NBC’s flagship series America’s Got Talent where he has served as a judge for 11 seasons. He recently finished production on his new documentary Howie Mandel: But Enough About Me. Other recent projects include judging NBC’s America’s Got Talent: The Champions, CNBC’s Deal or No Deal for which he served as executive producer and host, and Nat Geo Wild’s Animals Doing Things which he co-hosted with his son Alex. He also executive produced the Quibi series Kirby Jenner. In 2019, he released his first solo special in 20 years Howie Mandel Presents Howie Mandel at the Howie Mandel Comedy Club.
In 2020 Howie teamed up with ePlay Digital Inc. and launched the charity, Breakout the Masks, and mobile game campaign to give back to those involved in the fight against COVID-19. Via Howie’s Games, the first challenge is Outbreak, in which players’ points translate to donations of N95 face masks, portable ventilators, gloves, and other Personal Protective Equipment to doctors, nurses and more front-line workers. The second game, SwishAR, has users looking for Howie to join in a backyard basketball game to shoot hoops. Both games are available on the Apple App store and Google Play.
His additional projects, as a host, actor, and/or executive producer include Take It All and Howie Do It for NBC, Deal With It for TBS, and Mobbedfor FOX. Previously, Mandel received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program for Deal or No Deal and a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Game Show Host for the syndicated version of the show.
Mandel’s versatile career has encompassed virtually all aspects of the entertainment spectrum, including television, film and stage. From his work on the Emmy Award-winning St. Elsewhere, to the international animated children’s series Bobby’s World, Mandel has become a mainstay of the American comedy scene. In 2009, Mandel added author to his resume when he released his frank, funny and no-holds-barred memoir, “Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me.” The memoir revealed his ongoing struggle with OCD and ADHD, and how it has shaped his life and career. It made The New York Times bestseller list in its first week and remained on the list for several consecutive weeks.
Mandel has done countless comedy specials both on cable and network television. He has also hosted his own syndicated talk show, The Howie Mandel Show, and continues to be a mainstay on the talk show circuit. He also continues to perform as many as 200 stand-up comedy shows each year throughout the U.S. and Canada.
