Andy Dick Reveals He Has ‘5 to 7 Holes’ in Brain After Howie Mandel Questions If He’s ‘High’ During Podcast

Andy Dick made headlines in December when he overdosed — and now, he’s opening up about the incident.

During an appearance on Howie Mandel’s podcast, Howie Mandel Does Stuff, on Tuesday, March 3, Dick became confused when discussing the America’s Got Talent judge deciding to quit drinking alcohol.

“You must have stopped decades ago,” Dick, 60, remarked, but Mandel said that his cohost “just told” him that he stopped drinking in 2021.

“You’re not high now?” Mandel, 70, asked. “You seem out of it a little bit.”

However, the former News Radio star assured him that he was sober and went on to explain that a recent CAT scan revealed “holes” in his brain.

“They did a CAT scan thing, or whatever they call it in your brain, and I have all these — there’s about five to seven holes,” Dick said.

The issues are expected to resolve though.

“The issue with his brain is from the 2019 attack that almost killed Andy when an unprovoked attacker cold cocked Andy while he was outside of the club he and Paris Dylan had just performed,” a representative for Dick told Entertainment Weekly. “We are assured that his brain will heal.”

Dick also confirmed to Mandel that his heart stopped when he overdosed in December and said that he was “purple” and “not breathing.”

While the longtime comedian said that he doesn’t have many memories from the incident, he said he was currently sober and living in a “sober living house” where he’s tested for drugs.
