Comedian, actor and television host Howie Mandel brings his unique stand-up to The Orleans Showroom tonight, June 7 and June 8.
This summer, Mandel returns for his fourth season as a judge on NBC's top-rated reality competition "America's Got Talent." Mandel received a Primetime Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Reality/Competition Host" and a Daytime Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Game Show Host" for "Deal or No Deal," which ran in both primetime and syndication. Mandel's Emmy nominated animated children series, "Bobby's World," ran for eight seasons and now appears in syndication. As the series' creator and executive producer, Mandel was closely involved in its writing, as well as providing the voice of Bobby, Bobby's dad and other characters. Mandel started his career on a dare during a trip to Los Angeles in 1979. He was at the legendary Comedy Store on amateur night and Mandel was coaxed by his friends to get up and try his luck. As fate would have it, there was a producer in the crowd who immediately hired him to appear on the comedy game-show "Make Me Laugh." His appearance on the show led to talk-show appearances, a stint as Diana Ross' opening act and eventually to the television series, "St. Elsewhere," where Mandel spent six seasons as Dr. Wayne Fiscus on the award-winning NBC drama.Videos
