The America’s Got Talent Host and Comedian
Gives the Global Footwear Brand the Golden Buzzer for Skechers
Hands Free Slip-ins
Skechers caught Howie Mandel in the act: “discovering” the
America’s Got Talent host in a Los Angeles-area Skechers store
trying to score a discount on his favorite pair of Skechers Hands
Free Slip-ins® by claiming he was a Skechers ambassador—when he
wasn’t. Caught on camera, the comedian’s story resulted in the
brand’s version of a golden buzzer: an official invitation to join
Team Skechers and appear in a Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins
marketing campaign inspired by the original pair he grabbed in his
serendipitous visit.

“What can I say—they caught me red-handed because I was thinking
with my feet. This is penance for trying to get away with that
discount—but honestly, their comfort is worth it,” said Howie
Mandel. "I've been a devoted fan of the brand for years, so the
thought of shooting Skechers ads in Skechers Hands Free
Slip-ins—and having a new footwear wardrobe—is the kind of payback
I’m thrilled to have.”
“America’s got Skechers—and now Skechers has Howie Mandel! The
way we found him buying our new Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins was so
funny, we’re making it his inaugural Skechers campaign,” said
Skechers CEO Robert Greenberg, who was sent a photo of Mandel at
the Skechers store purchasing his Slip-ins styles, and promptly
signed him to join the Skechers team.
“Howie’s a remarkable judge of great performers—and we're elated
to be his top choice for comfort that performs,” said Michael
Greenberg, president of Skechers. “Through decades of comedy and
charisma, he possesses a magnetic personality that has endeared him
to millions. We're glad that his life has changed for the better
since discovering our Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins, and that he
wants to share our message of comfort with the world.”
Added Mandel: “Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins technology is
unparalleled. Their styles are so comfortable and with so many
designs, they work everywhere I go. The brand’s even made footwear
more accessible and convenient for me and my OCD, removing the need
to touch them since I can just slip in and go. This partnership is
a great way to show the world how Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins
simplifies day-to-day life for others, just like they've done for
me.”
A comedian, television personality, actor, and producer,
Mandel’s wide-ranging career includes the voice of Gizmo in
Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch, the role of ER resident Dr.
Wayne Fiscus on the NBC medical drama St. Elsewhere, and creator
and star of the Fox children's cartoon Bobby’s World. The longtime
host of the game show Deal or No Deal, he has been a judge on NBC’s
America’s Got Talent since 2010, and Citytv’s Canada’s Got Talent
since 2022.
Mandel joins a team of global Skechers ambassadors—from music
icon Snoop Dogg, lifestyle legend Martha Stewart, and TV and
fitness personalities Amanda Kloots and Brooke Burke to former
professional athletes such as Tony Romo, Howie Long, and Sugar Ray
Leonard. The roster of elite pros around the world currently
competing in Skechers footwear includes NBA basketball players Joel
Embiid, Julius Randle and Terance Mann; golfers Matt Fitzpatrick
and Brooke Henderson; soccer players Harry Kane, Mohammed Kudus and
Oleksandr Zinchenko; baseball players Clayton Kershaw, Aaron Nola,
Chris Taylor and Brendan Donovan; and pickleball pros Tyson
