Born in 1955 in Ontario, Canada, to a realtor and light manufacturer, Howie Mandel was the class clown growing up. He loved playing pranks on his friends and family. However, his antics caused him to get expelled from high school. After passing the high school equivalency exam, Howie went on to become a carpet salesman. His work ethic was seen here when he became so successful with carpet sales that he opened two retail locations. It was a random trip to Los Angeles with some friends, though, that changed his life forever. On a dare, Howie agreed to go on stage at
The Comedy Store
for amateur night. A television producer happened to be in the audience, liking him so much that he hired Howie to appear on the show
Make Me Laugh
. Howie eventually moved to LA where he pursued his comedy career.
