USA TODAY- Bill Burr’s latest podcast appearance turned into an unexpected (alleged) family reunion.
Burr jokingly asked Corgan, who expressed surprise that Burr wasn’t aware he would be coming.
Yes, you read that right.
Thats like mixing Red Bull with a bottle of sleeping pills.
I cant decide if its hilarious or horrifying.
So the idea that Bills father was actually some traveling musician playing God knows where is already a curveball.
But the internet ate it up.
Fast-forward to this week, Burr is invited back to Howie Mandels show.
Probably to talk about his new special or rant about shit.
It was pretty fucked up when you think about it.
Lets talk about the level of cringe here.
These guys are a little old for paternity-test theatrics.
They both have zero hair.
Nobodys going to throw a folding chair.
So what was the fucking endgame?
Apparently, Mandel believed he was staging the feel-good (or super dramatic) reveal of the year.
It was beyond awkward.
This is straight-up Maury Povich territory.
All thats missing is an envelope and a crowd chanting, You are the father!
Howie basically tried to go full Daytime TV Circus.
The difference is that Maury wouldve at least cut to a commercial break before the meltdown.
Howie just leaves the room so the potential half-brothers can bond.
Bizarre doesn’t even begin to describe it all.
They hug it out in a final scene scored by an acoustic version of 1979.
If not, then it better make for some legendary material from Burr in his next special.
And he better fucking torch Howie Mandel for this.
The guy is a germaphobe legend in his own mind, from game shows and Americas Got Talent.
Suddenly hes out here ambushing his guests with potential paternal bombs.
Thats some next-level asshole move.
Butttttt,it would be kind of cool if these two ended up being related via a deadbeat father.
The material alone that Burr will have about his weirdo half-brother will be gold.
