Joe Rogan will PAY for Billy Corgan and Bill Burr to take a DNA test to see if they’re brothers!
Billy Corgan said on the Joe Rogan Experience that his father told him he slept with 1,000 women, and that Billy likely has over 10 half siblings across the United States. Rogan offered to pay $200 for Corgan and Bill Burr to take a DNA test to see if they’re half brothers.
In a recent episode of the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, host Howie Mandel orchestrated an unexpected meeting between Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan and comedian Bill Burr, leading to a tense and awkward interaction. The surprise stemmed from a past revelation by Corgan, who mentioned that his stepmother once suggested Burr might be his half-brother, citing his father’s history as a traveling musician.
During the podcast, Burr was visibly displeased with the unannounced encounter, accusing Mandel of ambushing him for the sake of ratings. He expressed his frustration, calling Mandel an “a–hole” and later describing him as a “Hollywood whore” who doesn’t care about the consequences of such stunts.
In response to the backlash, Mandel publicly apologized, expressing regret for the incident. He acknowledged that his attempt at orchestrating a humorous moment backfired, stating, “I feel horrible, and I’m sorry, Bill. I’m sorry, Billy. I only tried to do something good.”
Despite the controversy, the episode has garnered significant attention, with discussions about the potential familial connection between Corgan and Burr sparking widespread interest. However, both parties have emphasized that there is no concrete evidence to support the claim that they are half-brothers.
