LONG before Coronavirus panic gripped the world, Howie Mandel of "America's Got Talent" fame was reknown for his germaphobe ways.
Howie has long eschewed shaking hands or honestly, making ANY phyiscal contact with others. I remember when he was on tour once, the instructions on getting to meet Howie were crazy. And if he was coming for an in-studio visit? Forget it. So, with this kind of viral hysteria going on, you had to wonder if Howie had lost his mind.
Want an answer?
He showed up for work yesterday on the set of "America's Got Talent" looking like he stepped out of the cast of the movie "Outbreak."
I guess I should give him credit for even venturing out, but...this is a little crazy, right?
