In most cases, when we learn that celebrities are related, it’s typically because they come from well-known families. However, on rare occasions, the internet uncovers unexpected connections between stars, like Joe Rogan and Gerard Way, causing widespread excitement. A similar incident unfolded when Billy Corgan, the lead singer of Smashing Pumpkins, announced comedian Bill Burr could be his half-brother. This revelation intrigued Howie Mandel enough to arrange a humorous conversation between the two entertainers.
Bill Burr unexpectedly found himself on the same podcast, “Howie Mandel Does Stuff,” with judge from America’s Got Talent (AGT), when Smashing Pumpkins frontman Corgan made a surprise appearance. As a comedian known for his witty one-liners, it came as no surprise that Burr was somewhat annoyed and took the opportunity to tease Mandel and the other guest. Here’s the segment where you can see his reaction:
For clarity, there’s ample reliable information available from Men’s Journal and Bill Burr himself that disproves any familial connection between them. The crux of the issue, as he mentioned during the segment, is that Billy Corgan publicly sharing this unrelated story led to questions about Burr’s relationship with his own father, which was uncomfortable for the popular comedian. Interestingly, Burr’s father was a dentist, unlike Corgan’s father who was a traveling musician.

It’s common knowledge that Bill Burr is a fantastic stand-up comedian, but for those who find truth in this online segment, it might be beneficial to check out some of his movies too. Burr played along with the sketch, even though the half-brother claim lacked validity. Now, I can’t help but ponder if the viral video will eventually reveal Billy Corgan’s true half-brother.
Although Burr and Corgan didn’t become closer like brothers during the podcast, they did share a mutual appreciation for professional wrestling. This means if you spot them at any future WWE events, it’s not because they’re going on a family trip – they just happen to have a common interest in wrestling. Additionally, they both felt that Howie Mandel acted poorly by setting up this situation, knowing that Burr would be annoyed about it.
Moving forward, Bill Burr is set to continue his acting journey with a follow-up for his animated film “Leo”, now streaming on Netflix. It remains uncertain whether his character, Migs Mayfield, will feature in the upcoming season of “The Mandalorian and Grogu”, the highly anticipated “Star Wars” series revolving around its title characters. Personally, I’d enjoy seeing him make an appearance, despite some fans expressing reservations about his Boston accent fitting within the Star Wars franchise.
