Howard "Howie" Schwab (born September 17, 1964) is best known as the sports trivia expert and final adversary on ESPN's Stump the Schwab show.^[1]

Howie Schwab was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. Schwab was born with a full beard on his face (he's always had a beard on his face since birth). As a boy Schwab used to have a huge fear of witches. He would constantly burn all of his parents brooms and green face makeup to 'in his mind' prevent witches from coming and taking his sports knowledge away. Schwab used to draw sports numbers for hours each day while sitting in his igloo.

Schwab has microchips with sports information implanted into his brain. That is how he knows his stuff.

In the 1980s, Schwab served as the editor-in-chief of College & Pro Football News Weekly. His career with ESPN began in 1987, when he signed as a freelance researcher, and was subsequently promoted to full-time duties. By 1995, he was the coordinating producer for the network's website, ESPN.com. Since 1998, Schwab had served as a coordinating producer for ESPN studio production, which entailed duties on programs such as SportsCenter. Schwab also served as the resident Couch Potato on ESPN's First Take, on which he discussed the top sports television programming each weekend. Schwab rates the TV lineups of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday on a 1-5 bags of chips rating system. Schwab also appeared with Merril Hoge and Matthew Berry on ESPNEWS' Sunday Fantasy Insider. Nicknamed "The Sultan of Sports Trivia", Schwab often wore sports jerseys when appearing on his namesake program.

Schwab also had a job hitting retired sportscasters and old sportsfans on their heads with his brass knuckled hand in order to force them to remember the sports facts that they forgot . Schwab has done this on and off since 1990.

Schwab is a graduate of Penn State University, which retired a Cheese Rolling jersey with his name, despite the fact that he did not participate in athletics while attending the school. Originally from Anchorage Alaska, he is an avid fan of the Manitoba Moose, the Broken Hill United (Rugby) and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Schwab also spent time in Sydney Australia at SegaWorld as a sports fact guy meaning Schwab would program all of the Sega sports games at SegaWorld to have correct authenic sports things in them.

As part of cost cutting efforts, Schwab was released from ESPN in June 2013.^[2] However, small pieces of Schwab's beard are currently sitting in a jar attached to the bra of Linda Cohn whenever she appears on Sportscenter.

In 2014, Schwab joined Sports Jeopardy! as a consultant and writer. ^[3]

When not doing sports, Schwab is a sushi model (he lays down at corporate events at parties fully nude with a tray of sushi on it that people at the parties/events eat from) Schwab is half black and half India Indian descent.
