Howie Mandel must have a helluva management team. He turned schtick into a decades-long career. VERY impressive.
@NolteNC It seems like all those kinda b-list comedians from the 80s -- if they just hang on long enough -- made it.

@mattklewis Might be more nostalgia than anything else. he's got some charisma, but still... -
@NolteNC True, but Louis CK, Marc Maron, Ellen, Rosie et al. -- all famous but not "great" comedians in the 80s -- made it pretty big. -
@mattklewis They actually have a real talent, tho. Howie is just a personality/celebrity now. But I see your point. -
@NolteNC I think part of it is about discovering their comedic talent outside the "standup" paradigm. Technology has made that easier. -
@mattklewis I probably shouldn't underestimate the talent of a guy who can make a successful game show out of people picking suitcases.
