How Comedy Helped Howie Mandel Cope With His OCD (RECAST)

This week we’re re-broadcasting a really powerful episode of Imposters—our conversation with Howie Mandel. You probably know Howie best as the host of Deal or No Deal, or perhaps you know him for his earlier standup success. But another really pivotal moment in Howie’s career was the accidental reveal of his struggles with OCD on the Howard Stern Show—a traumatic moment for Howie that we discuss in depth in this episode. Listen to hear Howie tell Alex about his early life dealing with OCD pre-diagnosis, how he's learned to manage the disorder throughout his career, and the tools he's learned to help him cope today.
