Howie Mandel Blindsides Bill Burr With His Alleged Half-Brother Billy Corgan

The comedian reacted to the forced encounter by shaking the Smashing Pumpkins frontman's hand while telling Mandel, "You're an a**hole."

Comedian Bill Burr wasn’t laughing recently when Howie Mandel forced him into having a “family reunion” with his alleged half-brother, Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan. As Corgan joined the interview, Burr multitasked, shaking the musician’s hand while telling Mandel, “You’re an asshole,” for the ambush. During Corgan’s November appearance on the podcast, he said that his stepmother told him about 10 years ago that it’s possible Burr “might be one of the children that your father sired in his days being a traveling musician.”
