It’s hard work having a God-awful talk show and voicing over a cartoon.

So "comedian" Howie Mandel and his wife Terry would have you believe.

The pair is putting its Malibu home up for sale, according to the Associated Press. The price? A mere $4 million for four bedrooms on the beach.

"They're selling because he works 14 hours a day, and he has been on the beach eight nights in two years," listing agent Jay Rubenstein told the Los Angeles Times on Sunday.

Yep. Do we smell a cancellation on the wind?

So the couple and their three children will live full-time in their L.A.-area home.

Mandel, 43, has a syndicated talk show, does comedy road shows and HBO specials and is the writer, executive producer and main voice for the TV cartoon "Bobby’s World." Quanity over quality can get you a beach house, I suppose.
