On the season 10 premiere of America’s Got Talent, one of the judges, comedian Howie Mandel, gets hypnotized by a contestant. Not only is the handsome young man a dead ringer for Canadian-born rapper Drake, but he’s very good at what he does. Putting him under a spell, he tells Howie, who suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and germophobia, that everyone is wearing a very thin latex glove that you can’t even feel. Howie hasn’t shaken anyone’s hand in nearly eight years.

When the contestant taps Howie awake, judge Mel B is the first one to stick out her hand and shake his Howie Mandel’s hand. The crowd goes wild. Heidi Klum and Howard Stern are right behind her, waiting to shake Howie’s hand. When Howie asks, “Why’s everyone laughing?” Stern says, “Because you’re the greatest comedian.” America’s Got Talent airs Tuesdays at 8pm on NBC.
