Let's be frank Howie, you've impressed us for years. You wowed us as the comedic mastermind behind "Howie Do It", the charismatic host of "Deal or No Deal" and as a playful spokesman for Boston Pizza. Mr. Mandel, we can't get enough of you.
You were an outstanding actor. While few would argue that your portrayal of Dr. Wayne Fiscus on St. Elsewhere was anything less than inspired, it was as the voice of Gizmo on "Gremlins" and "Gremlins 2" that cemented your reputation as one of the world's foremost entertainers.
Lest we overlook your superlative work as a stand-up comic. Who can forget your never-tired shtick of placing a latex glove on your head and inflating it through your nose! The word "genius" is overused but in your case, I feel it's perfectly apt.
Howie Mandel--I salute you.
