Howie Mandel says comedy festival bigger than Gilbert Rozon
MONTREAL — Comedian Howie Mandel is promising a bigger and more exciting Just For Laughs festival this summer — even with founder Gilbert Rozon out of the picture.
“Our whole thrust is moving forward and not thinking about what was,” he said in an interview with The Canadian Press on Tuesday.
“It’s not about one person.”
Just For Laughs was rocked last fall after several women came forward with allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment against Rozon, who was also majority stakeholder.
