It turns out like every few years there’s a rumor about Howie Mandel’s well being. Whether it’s because he had to miss an episode of America’s Got Talent, shared a NSFW video on TikTok of a prolapsed anus, mourned the passing of his fellow comedians or had the president of UFC walk out of his podcast with out caution, it kind of feels like people are all the time keen on Howie’s health and protection.

As of this writing, Howie Mandel is fine. He’s good if truth be told. You can see him on television each week on Canada's Got Talent, see him on America’s Got Talent when it starts its new season May 28 on NBC, and pay attention and watch to his podcast, Howie Mandel Does Stuff Podcast, every week. But some people idea he lately died.

The most up-to-date Howie Mandel death hoax is complicated.

Howie Mandel has had a shaved head for 24 years. He’s spoken about this at period. He first of all got rid of his sumptuous locks for a movie role in 2000’s Spin Cycle. When he were given his role as host of Deal or No Deal in 2005, most tv audience noticed Howie’s glossy bald dome. His loss of hair is an extension of his OCD, which the comic and host documented in his 2009 autobiography Here's the Deal: Don't Touch Me.

In the guide Howie explains how the OCD and the bald head are linked. "I was always incredibly obsessed with germs and cleaning and taking shower after shower after shower...I had continuous repetitive thoughts that I couldn’t get past. As a child, my mind was a lot busier than I was. Until I was diagnosed, it was just called Howie. As an adult, I went to a therapist for other reasons, and I told him how I deal with things. And he said, "Y'know, that's OCD."

Howie’s bald look is not a secret nor a disguise. It’s a calling card in fact. Yet some folks believed Howie’s now-signature look is actually a sign of illness. That’s what’ll happen after you have a 40+ year career in Hollywood but reach an entirely new audience when you have MrBeast on your podcast.

Howie’s not dead but he is still poking fun at the dead.

Howie is not dead. Once again, Howie is alive and well. If you can’t wait until the next episode of CGT or AGT or his podcast, just visit his TikTok channel. His most recent clip, posted March 25, 2024, may be a slight nod to the most recent death hoax.

Howie can be seen judging on Canada’s Got Talent every Tuesday live on Citytv and streaming on Citytv+. New episode of Howie Mandel Does Stuff Podcast are released every Tuesday too. He also regularly posts to his Instagram account. He’ll have a shaved head when you see him at the show and podcast and on social media. It’s just a shaved head. He’s wonderful.
