Is it the SAME Howie Mandell?


I recently goot hooked on "Deal or No Deal?". My question is: Is it the SAME Howie Mandell who did the voice of Bobby Generic as the host of "Deal or No Deal"? What did he do to his hair? Where can I find a picture of him BEFORE he shaved his head?

reply

It is the very same Howie Mandell.
If you go to google and search under images there are plenty of pictures.

no he's not going bald. I read that he had to shave his head for a movie and a woman said he wqas sexy so he swore that he would never have hair again. True story. Research it!

reply

i think hes bald because hes "germophobic" or something, i remember seeing him on regis and kelly or something and he was talking about always having to wash his hands and everything

reply

yeah..he did it because he freaks out that there are things in his hair and stuff..so he shaved it. he doesn't even shake hands with people.

Yes it is the same Howie.

I saw him on Jay Leno a few years. Jay went to shake hands, and he did the fist, dab's thing. jay asked him what that was about and Howie said he does not shake hands because of germs.

Since we're on the subject of Howie, which voices did he play on Bobby's World? I read somewhere that he actually played Bobby himself....How is it possible for a man's voice to get that high, though??? o___O

reply

Howie did, in fact, play the part of Bobby. I would say something about maybe they altered it after he recorded his parts, but he's done the same voice in other roles. I miss Howie's hair, though. It was very cute. But, I guess he's a germophobe, so having hair might have freaked him out. He does still look good bald, but I do miss the curly black hair.

he looks dead sexy when bald. oblivious idiot that i am, i didn't even know that the cute host from deal or no deal was howie mandell. but then curly hair on a guy...just ain't my thing.

reply

I saw a special for bobby's world where howie was doing bobby's voice he doesnt use any special equipment he can just alter his voice very high..I didnt even know he played bobby until that special

reply

Yeah it's kind of crazy that bobby's voice could come out of him lol. I remembering seeing his standup years ago and he did a rather dirty version of the bobby character.

reply

Has he always been a mysophobe or did he just develop it?
bc he had that lon curly hair in the past.
And now bc he is on DOND he is doing all these interviews, but I've never heard of him being afriad of germs. All the past comedy tours, & interviews and it was never mentioned?

How does he have sex with his wife? Touch is wife? Touch his kids?

[well, these grass stains on my knees they won't mean a thing.]
