72. Howie Mandel

Gilbert and Frank travel to Radio City Music Hall to pay a backstage visit to comic, actor and TV host Howie Mandel, who discusses his numerous phobias and anxieties and looks back on his early days at LA's famed Comedy Store. Also, Howie jumps in a ditch, explains how to treat a gunshot wound and has a Brazilian wax named after him. PLUS: Allen Funt! "Gidget" redux! The tortured genius of Blake Edwards! Howie hangs with Mousie Garner! And the perils of political correctness!
