Howie Mandel has teamed up with talkshoplive to help small businesses make it in the COVID-19 era. Twice a month, the initiative will connect the entrepreneurs with the buying public.

“We find people who are kind of struggling at these times, who have a great story to tell, and help them sell their wares,” the “America’s Got Talent” judge explained. “That is the lifeblood of America, you know — free enterprise, the American dream.” A portion of all proceeds from the “Save Small Business” campaign will be donated to No Kid Hungry, an organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America.

The first business Howie featured was the Illinois baking company, Hungry Monkey. Their “Social Distancing Treats Box” – which featured their Signature Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, an Original Banana Bread and over a pound of their Triple Chocolate Brownies – sold out. He’ll return with another business on April 15th.
