Episode Synopsis
Howie Mandel and Marc Summers both carved out long-standing careers for themselves in the limelight and on TV screens. But behind the laughter and success lies a shared struggle with OCD — a challenge they faced during a time when the disorder was deeply misunderstood in Hollywood. For Marc, misinformation about OCD cost him a high-profile hosting job, while Howie quietly battled the fear that his own diagnosis might jeopardize everything he’d built in show business.In this episode, Howie and Marc come together to reflect on how OCD has shaped their careers and lives — then and now. They get real about what it was like to navigate an industry that often lacked compassion or understanding, and how those experiences continue to influence them today. Their stories offer not only insight into their remarkable resilience but also invaluable advice for anyone confronting their own fears, self-doubt, or the sting of being misunderstood.Are you or a loved one struggling with OCD?
