Howie Mandel was recovering at home Wednesday night and “doing better” after he reportedly fainted at a Los Angeles Starbucks earlier in the day.
The 65-year-old “America’s Got Talent” judge suffered the medical episode while grabbing coffee with his wife and friends at one of the coffee chains outposts in Woodland Hills, TMZ had reported.
“I was dehydrated and had low blood sugar,” Mandel said in a Wednesday night tweet explaining the ordeal.
The former “Deal or No Deal” host was briefly hospitalized.
“I appreciate the great doctors and nurses that took such good care of me. Thank you to everyone who reached out but I am doing ok!” he said.
The former “Deal or No Deal” host is known for his germaphobia and OCD and he told Page Six last year that he was taking medication to help him cope.
“I’m moving my therapist into a whole new tax bracket on the phone,” he quipped. “Some people call it a pandemic, I call it ‘told ya!’
“I felt responsible in the beginning for the shortage of PPE because I’d been hoarding gloves and masks and hazmat suits for the last 50 years but I’ve given them all away. I can’t wait for this to be over.”
