HuffPost
“I want to apologize. I feel horrible,” the comedian said Tuesday on his podcast. “I’m sorry, Bill. I’m sorry, Billy. I only tried to do something good."
Howie Mandel is publicly apologizing for forcing a meeting between alleged half-brothers Bill Burr and Billy Corgan on his podcast last month.
On Tuesday’s episode, the 69-year-old comedian admitted being shocked by the backlash he received for the stunt but said he was sorry for the effect it had on Burr.
“I want to apologize. I feel horrible,” Mandel said, adding, “I’m sorry, Bill. I’m sorry, Billy. I only tried to do something good.”
Mandel said that he has been unable to reach Burr since the episode.
“I texted him and said, ‘Good episode.’ Didn’t answer. I said, ‘Is there anything I can do to further this, to follow up’? No answer,” Mandel lamented.
