Howie Mandel Rushed to Hospital

Sources tell TMZ Howie Mandel was rushed to a Toronto hospital Monday night after suffering severe chest pains.

Cops tell us they found Howie conscious and breathing at around 7 PM in the elevator of the Sheraton Hotel on Queen Street. According to sources, Mandel was taken to St. Michael's Hospital. There are reports he complained of an irregular heartbeat earlier Monday.

We're told Mandel is spending the night in the hospital and being treated for an irregular heartbeat.

Howie was in Toronto taping his new show, "Howie Do It."

Story developing...


UPDATE: It appears it isn't a heart attack. Someone who works closely with Howie tells us NBC has been working him like a mutha to get this new show done and dude's just flat exhausted. He could be out today.

62. Howie, let this be a wake-up call to you. I had a boss back in 1991 who died at 47 from a heart attack. It seems his boss was over-working him constantly, try to make his numbers look better. Poor Terry, "my boss" was the nicest person and worked tons of OT to make this workaholic happy. We came to work on 12/23, I'll always remember that day and management told us that Terry died from a masive heart attack. He was found in his car by the side of the road. This happened years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. Oh, BTW, Mr. Workaholic was let go and moved to another state.

64. Hope you get better soon Howie... you're in good hands in Toronto (and if you're still Canadian, you won't have to pay for your visit:-)

Howie used to do stand-up at Yuk-Yuk's in Toronto back in 1978 and he acted psychotic... now he's vented it all into his germ-phobia. His stand-up was funny, but I like him better the way he is now. He also got expelled from High School for pretending to be a member of the school board and signing a construction company to make an addition to his school in Toronto.

Hope you get better, soon, Howie.

And Steve, your mommy called and told you to get off the computer... it's nap time

67. Did they put him in one of those Bio-Hazard rooms equipped with glove boxes and nurses in moon suits like something out of the Andromeda Strain? (the classic film not the schlocky remake)

I wonder if he will be driven mad by the hospital staff constantly asking him --- DEAL OR NO DEAL ????

69. Howie,please be careful about overworking yourself. The money i'm sure is awesome,but it is not worth risking your very life over.You only live once so be good 2 yourself. Unlike that Steve guy,i do not wish for your death! I hope you live a good long life! Just in case something were to happen,i hope you know the Lord,cause i would like to know you went to heaven to spend eternity w/Him. I am saying this because tomorrow is not guaranteed,not only for you but for anybody. This is a very serious thing,anybody who wants to comment and i am NOT being religious,it is a reality that everyone must face. Howie, i pray for your speedy recovery and hope to see you on the air many more years

70. Steve you are a moran. I can understand if you do not like his show, so what just say that. why wish death on this man. Did he do you anything or maybe you are jealous that he is rich and you are not. I find his show hilarious. Everyone has a different sense of humor. If you don't like his show then do not watch it you friggin idiot.
Every one needs to send their sympathy not stupid comments grow the F*** up people. Brubaker whatever your name is maybe you are the freak, ask your mother what kind of name is that you freaking idiot.
Howie get well soon.............

72. Hope and pray you get better,Howie! Unlike that Steve guy,i hope you live a long life,but you just need to slow down and take it easy! I know that it is hard 2do that in the kind of business you're in,w/all the pressure you're under. You just have 2b good to yourself. You only live once! I really hope you know the Lord,cause you never know what will happen. Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow so i just pray you are right w/God and that you would go to heaven IF something happened to you;hopefully nothing will. I would like to continue seeing you on the air for many more years. I don't know you but i believe you are a great guy and i wish you and your family all the best!

73. I just said the other night it looks like he is on speed or coke. Irregular heartbeat. Hmm

Posted at 10:05AM on Jan 13th 2009 by GypsyLaura

74. #67 - GypsyLaura, I do neither speed or coke and I have irregular heartbeat rhythm. It's just one of those things that happen to us as we get older. Mine is called MVP - Mitral Valve Prolapse. It has nothing to do with drugs. Please don't accuse people of doing illegal drugs/etc., before you know the whole story.

75. Mandel is freakin lucky. St. Michaels hospital is literally across the street from the Sheraton Hotel. Yea, his visit was free. He's still a Canadian citizen. US and Canada allows dual citizenship. Douche bag better make sure his OHIP card is up to date. Haha.
