Howie Mandel Early Life

He was born in Toronto, Ontario (now Ontario, Canada) on November 29, 1955, and grew up in Los Angeles, California.

For many years, Mandel's father was a real estate agent and a lighting maker. Mandel was always the class clown when he was younger.

Pulling jokes on his friends and family was something he enjoyed. Impersonating a school official to hire a construction business to build an expansion on his school got him kicked out of high school.

After graduating from high school, he worked as a carpet salesman. During his time at Toronto's Yuk-Yuk's, Mandel began honing his stand-up skills.
