The success of any stand-up act comes out of life experience.
— Howie Mandel
If I'm a game show host, will someone buy a ticket to see me do standup? To do a dramatic role in a movie?
My point of reference is life, in everything that I do.
I was totally involved in Bobby's World from the time we started the idea to sitting with the artists on how he would look, to the script meetings, the music, the lyrics, the songs.
It's really not that hard. If I do a Tonight Show, it's six or seven minutes. If I do a concert, it's 90 minutes. If I do an interview, that's 15 minutes. So by the end of the day I've done three hours worth of work.
Everything runs its course. We had told a lot of stories that happened in our life. My kid was getting older, and we were running out of stories to tell.
