Where's Howie?

Oh where have you gone, Howie Mandel? Do you remember Howie Mandel? Pretty funny guy. Number 82 on Comedy Central's list of 100 Greatest Stand-up Comedians. Number 82. Not too shabby....but your not Seinfeld or Cosby or Williams either. I remember seeing him on a couple of Showtime specials back in the day. He also had that animated show for a while where he made the high pitched little boy voice. Didn't watch it. I always thought he looked like Jeff Goldblum's older brother. The Showtime special I saw him on had to be from over 10 years ago or something. How do you go from Showtime special to nowhere? I dunno. Come to find out (That's an expression used south of Maryland that means: I just discovered that....)he's got a new TV show on Bravo set for August. Good for him. Also found out he won't shake hands and is afraid of germs. Maybe that explains the low profile for a decade. Anyway, the word of the day is "misanthrope".
