Smashing Pumpkins Frontman Billy Corgan thinks Bill Burr is his half -brother and confronted him with Howie Mandel’s Show this week

USA Today – Bill Burr’s latest podcast appearance turned into an unexpected (alleged) family reunification.

When the comedian, 56, was a guest in Tuesday’s episode of “Howie Mandel Doing Stuff” podcast, a surprisingly special guest came in: Smashing Pumpkins guitarist Billy Corgan, 57, who previously theorized that he and Burr may be half brothers.

Corgan revealed on “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” in November that his stepmother about 10 years ago told him she thinks Burr “may be one of the children your father has killed in his days as a traveler musician.”

“My dad told me once that I had a half -brother named Bill, who was born at the same time as me,” said Corgan. He insisted at the time that he did not haunt, though he clarified that after sitting on it, he does not actually think they are related.

So during Mandel’s Tuesday interview with Burr, the referee “America’s Got Talent” revealed that he had a surprise planned and brought out Corgan. As soon as the musician went in, Burr against Mandel and expressed frustration over the situation, though in a playful way.

“Did you ever believe in the fact that I have never told the story that you might not be?” Burr asked ghostly coron who expressed surprise that Burr was not aware that he would come.

Comedian laughed when he asked Corgan why he felt the “need” to flow the idea that they could be related before they fried him to be a fan of Chicago Cubs. Burr later clarified that he was not angry with Corgan, but he tore ghostly with almond to set up the meeting for “Ratings” who called it “rude” and said that a podcast was not the appropriate place for them to meet.

So the internet was on fire this week with the brain melting theory that Bill Burr and Billy Corgan may have been half -brothers. Yes, you read it right. The cartoon shouting at Clueless pedestrians, incompetent drivers, and basically all Boston … shares a gene pool with The Smashing Pumpkins Frontman, who wrote whole albums about sadness and heartache.

It’s like mixing Red Bull with a bottle of sleeping pills. I can’t decide if it’s funny or terrible.

How to unfold this whole thing-

Billy Corgan went on Howie Mandel’s podcast, (apparently it really is one thing) and randomly fell the bomb that his wandering musician’s dad may have the father of 12 children, one of whom could be Bill Burr.

Bill Burr, who is 56, has always been known to have a father who was a dentist named Robert Burr. So the idea that Bill’s father was actually a traveling musician who played God knows where is already a curve ball.

Corgan insists he doesn’t quite believe in the theory, it’s more “like the thing where Bono looks like Robin Williams.” But the internet ate it up.

Fring until this week, Burr is invited back to Howie Mandel’s show. Probably to talk about his new special or rant about shit.

But no. Mendel decided to jump Billy Corgan from behind a curtain as a lost episode of Jerry Springer meets Maury Povich.

It was pretty fucked when you think about it.

KFC made a pretty good breakdown on where bisar of a moment it was and how captive by guard burr seemed to be.

Let’s talk about the level of cringe here. If you’ve ever caught a Jerry Springer -Episode you know the moment: Some unsuspecting victim is waiting for stage, clueless, and Jerry goes, “Well, someone here has something to tell you,” and the crowd claps with their The hands in joy, foresee a battle, a baby reveals or at least a world world to crush and life must be turned upside down.

That’s exactly what Howie Mandel tried to do- except it was (a) a podcast, and (b) Bill Burr in the mid-50s and Billy Corgan in the late 50s.

These guys are a little old for paternity test theaters. They both have zero hair. No one will throw a folding chair. So what was the fucking playoffs?

Apparently Mandel thought he staged the feel-good (or super dramatic) reveal of the year.

Instead, Bill burr looked at him as “What the hell is wrong with you?” And Billy Corgan was everything, “I thought you were on this, Bill.”

Giphy pictures.

It was without awkward.

Cue burr shouts basically howie to be a total tool, with coran nods with, “Yes, this is a bit messy.”

Imagine learning that you might be half-siblings on a lame fucking has-Been’s podcast, with cameras rolling and some random emotional piano music clinging in the background.

This is right up Maury Povich territory. All that is missing is an envelope and a quantity singing, “You are the father!”

Howie basically tried to go full “TV -Circus on the day.” The difference is that Maury would at least have cut to a commercial break before meltdown. Howie just leaves the room so the potential half -brothers can “tie”.

The next thing you know, Mandel’s daughter vacates, and Billy Bush wanders in to apologize for having her hair?

Bisarre doesn’t even begin to describe it all.

I’m a skeptic. We know that Bill Burr has a new special and Billy Corgan and Smashing Pumpkins allegedly have something in the works.

I would be lying if I said I don’t suspect there are some top-secret Netflix-Doku series in the pipeline. “Me & my maybe bridge: a burr-Corgan story.” The two bald, pale, sometimes angry red -haired finds out that they were separated by a traveling musician. They hug it in a last scene scored by an acoustic version of “1979.”

If not, then make it better for some legendary material from Burr in his next special.

And he should rather fucking Torkel Howie Mandel for this. Either way.

The guy is a Germaphobe legend in his own mind, from game exhibitions and America’s Got Talent. Suddenly he is out here who adheres to his guests with potential fatherly bombs. It’s some next level asshole movement.

Buttttttt, It would be a little cool if these two ended up being related via a deathbeat father. The material alone that Burr has about his strange half -brother will be gold.
