Why Howie Mandel “Kind of” Regrets Apologizing to Kelly Ripa After Tense On-Air Exchange
Howie Mandel is doing more than just stuff.
The comedian made an eyebrow-raising sex confession while co-hosting his podcast with his 41-year-old daughter Jackelyn Shultz, saying that he pays for “tuggies” from time to time.
“I have this lady that gives me tuggies,” Mandel shared on the Aug. 11 episode of Howie Mandel Does Stuff. “It’s 25 bucks, and I get hand jobs.”
While guest Camilla Araujo jokingly remarked that $25 is a “good price” for such service, Howie joked that his last visit to “the girl I go for hand jobs” left him feeling “so embarrassed” because he wanted an actual shoulder massage after the act.
“I asked her for a massage after she finished,” recounted the 70-year-old, who shares Jackelyn as well as kids Alex Mandel, 36, and Riley Ehrlich, 33, with longtime wife Terry Mandel. “She looked at me like, ‘Get the f–k out of here.’”
And when Camilla noted that the process “usually starts with the massage and that’s why it’s called a happy ending,” Howie quipped, “Don’t you think it would be happy if she just loosened my shoulders?”
