Howie Mandel

*"Deal, or no deal?"*
— Howie, when making a deal.

**Howie Mandel** is a television-show host obsessed with getting attention from Sebastian. He has made appearances in both of The Legend of Lamb Sauce games, and is a member of The Three Gentlemen along with Anthony and Gordon.

## Appearance

Howie is most characterized by his bald head and his soul patch. He is often seen posing with his phone (he usually gets calls from the Banker) and has been seen wearing jewelry such as earrings and rings. Naturally, as a tv-show host, he is most typically seen in a suit. However, he has also been known to dress more casually from time to time.

## Personality

Howie is a very confident and sassy man. He isn't afraid to take action when he isn't happy with something, and will often go to extremes in order to get to an outcome he wants.

As the host of the ever-popular Deal or No Deal, it follows that Howie also has an obsession with making deals. He is somewhat of a trickster, however, as the deals he proposes almost never go exactly as expected.

Howie is also a germaphobe, and takes extreme caution to avoid coming down with anything.

## Zero Escape: Oxiclean Dilemma

Howie has not yet appeared in Oxiclean Dilemma, but according to his statements in The Legend of Lamb Sauce, he is due to show up eventually.

## The Legend of Lamb Sauce

Following the lamb sauce's disappearance and Sebastian's realization that the wand he needs is sold out, Howie appears in Sebastian's kitchen to make a deal.

It is important to note that The Legend of Lamb Sauce serves as Howie's first real debut, which means he is lagging a bit behind Anthony and Gordon in terms of appearances in the SashimiSebastian universe. He makes this immediately known, chastising Sebastian for "forgetting" about him, and asking where his special game is. He proposes a game known as 'Deal or No Deal: Scratch Edition' to Sebastian, but this is quickly brushed off, much to Howie's dismay.

Truthfully, Howie's purpose in materializing in Sebastian's kitchen is to make a deal. Howie offers Sebastian the wand he needs in exchange for an ominious "catch." Should Sebastian accept the deal, the catch is revealed to be that Gordon is now allowed to obtain incredible power. Howie hands over the wand, and disappears without any sort of explanation.

## The Legend of Lamb Sauce 2: Howie's Revenge

As the game's subtitle suggests, Howie appears in The Legend of Lamb Sauce 2: Howie's Revenge as the game's main antagonist. Upset that Sebastian has put off making his proposed 'Deal or No Deal: Scratch Edition' for so long, Howie has taken matters into his own hands and stolen the legendary lamb sauce himself. He challenges Sebastian to come get the lamb sauce back from him before suddenly and inexplicably becoming a giant.

Like Gordon before him, Howie enlists an army of mini-Howies to slow down Sebastian's progress against him. However, unlike the mini-Gordons, Howie's army contains a few different types of mini-Howies, such as ones that can throw briefcases.

Howie serves as the final boss of the game, and is eventually defeated by Sebastian. He laments about how he still hasn't gotten the game he deserves, but Sebastian causes him to realize that The Legend of Lamb Sauce 2: Howie's Revenge is indeed the game he's been asking for all along. Satisfied for now, Howie hands over the legendary lamb sauce and disappears once more.

## Other Appearances

Aside from his main appearances, Howie also appears in Sebastian's Mansion as a ghost trying to attack Sebastian.

## Quotes

* *"I'm Howie Mandel! I know everything!"*
* *"Deal…? Or no deal…?"*
* *"Where’s \*my\* game? When are you planning to make Deal or No Deal: Scratch Edition, Sebastian?"*

## Trivia

* Howie mysteriously knows a lot information without being told beforehand, and has even been known to say *"I'm Howie Mandel! I know everything!"* on multiple occasions. The only possible explanations for this are either that Howie Mandel is psychic, or that he gets his information elsewhere (possibly from an informant such as the Banker).
