December 2009


Last night, Howie Mandel continued his publicity tour for his book “Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me” on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.  It was a funny, strange, and complicated discussion of best-selling books, germs, and what makes a man twitch.

On his left wrist, Howie wore the Skip the Shake wristband, a stylish addition to his black leather ensemble.  So whether he is preparing for a parachute jump to a book signing tour, Howie comes prepared with a Skip the Shake wristband.  It spares him from using a bucket of Purell.

Buy yours today.  And, give a few as gifts.  They stuff into stockings.  Show your friends, family, and coworkers that you care!

Howie Mandel give Ellen Degeneres a Skip the Shake wristband

Howie Mandel gives Ellen Degeneres a Skip the Shake wristband

Today, on the talk show Ellen, in the Howie Mandel’s Lifetime Struggle segment, Howie Mandel gave a Skip the Shake wristband to Ellen Degeneres.

Howie Mandel has been on tour promoting his new book “Here’s the Deal:  Don’t Touch Me.”  In his new book, Howie Mandel chronicles his struggles with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as he has built a successful career as a stand-up comedian, actor, and game show host.

In previous appearances on the Ellen show, Ellen Degeneres has given Howie many gifts, including a life-time supply of soap (that he has already run out of!), a hook to open doors, and a human sized bubble to protect him from germs.  Howie features this bubble — kind of like a human-sized plastic gerbil exercise device — on book cover of “Here’s the Deal:  Don’t Touch Me.”

Today, Howie expressed his gratitude to Ellen Degeneres for her gifts by giving her one of his own — namely, a Skip the Shake, Fight the Flu wristband.  Like all wearers of the Skip the Shake, Fight the Flu wristband, Howie expressed his desire for people to greet him in a new healthier way. His choice is an Asian bow.

Give Howie a bow.  Ellen, rock on.

Skip the Shake, Fight the Flu wristbands. Because we can’t all afford giant germ-proof gerbil bubbles.
