Howard Michael Mandel, nickname ‘Howie’ is a Canadian comedian, host of Deal or No Deal, TV presenter, judge on Americas Got Talent and occasional actor.
Howie said that he shaved his head bald for a ‘clean look’ and not because he had hair loss or was going bald. He did have long, thick curly hair before shaving his head smooth.
Howie also likes to keep a nice even tan on the top of his head. A sometimes hard to do feat if you tend to wear sunglasses a lot.
He can often be seen sporting a ‘soul patch’ facial hair design – see pic below.
Like his good friend and ex co-judge of NBC’s ‘AGT’ Howard Stern, Howie is Jewish and Suffers from Mysophobia, the fear of germs an OCD – ‘Obsessive Compulsive Disorder’ where a person feels the need to frequently, in Howie’s case, wash his hands.
