(SQAUK) — In a revelation that sounds too outrageous to be true, comedian Bill Burr and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan discovered they are long-lost brothers—live on Howie Mandel’s podcast, Howie Mandel Does Stuff. The shocking moment unfolded when Corgan made a surprise appearance on the set, revealing their shared father: a traveling musician who allegedly slept with over a thousand women.
Howie Mandel, known for his humor and unpredictable interviews, invited Bill Burr onto his podcast for what seemed like a standard comedy chat. However, things took a bizarre turn when Billy Corgan walked onto the set, carrying a revelation that neither Burr nor the audience saw coming.
At first, Burr thought it was a joke, but as Corgan explained, their father—a little-known but highly active touring musician—had a reputation for leaving behind more than just his music. With a penchant for living life on the road and engaging in numerous affairs, their father unknowingly fathered two famous sons: one a world-renowned alternative rock icon, the other a comedy legend.
Corgan, best known for fronting the Smashing Pumpkins, and Burr, celebrated for his brutally honest stand-up, were stunned by the revelation. According to Corgan, their biological father was a guitarist who traveled the country for decades, reportedly bedding over a thousand women in his lifetime.
Corgan did extensive research into their father’s past, ultimately leading him to Burr through Howie. The revelation left both men stunned but intrigued, bonding over their shared history of growing up unaware of each other.
As the shock settled, Burr and Corgan embraced their newfound sibling connection, but Burr was mad at Mandel.
“Were fifty now. What are we supposed to do play catch?,” Burr joked while Corgan laughed.
