Lori Hartwell and Stephen Furst visit with comedian Howie Mandel, host of NBC’s hit game show “Deal or No Deal.” Laughing in the midst of tough situations may not come naturally for everyone, but a good sense of humor can definitely help lighten the mood. Oftentimes, humor is just the medicine we need.
After listening to this entertaining (and insightful) show, feel free to quote two of our favorite “Howie-isms.”
“Laughter is a wonderful emotion that everyone can tap into. It’s been associated with feelings of well-being, happiness, and success. Happiness is definitely a choice; it doesn’t just happen. For me, to be successful is to be happy.” – Howie Mandel
“When you open the door to your medicine cabinet, remember to look beyond the bottles. “When something goes wrong, my family and I go to humor first for medication.” -Howie Mandel
