Episode description

Billy Corgan welcomes Howie Mandel for a revealing conversation that looks beyond the spotlight. Howie candidly discusses living with ADHD, OCD, and germophobia—often mistaken for comedic quirks—and explains why stand-up remains his most honest outlet, despite its nerve-wracking edge. They explore how childhood experiences drove Howie’s need for control, prompting him to build his own studio and work with family. He admits medication helps him function but sometimes numbs his emotions, and while hosting “Deal or No Deal” revived his career, it also overshadowed his identity as a comedian. Ultimately, he emphasizes that comedy and tragedy share the same roots, and that true fulfillment comes from embracing the present moment.
