The 67-year-old TV personality sat down with Raven, 37, and her wife, Miranda Maday, on the couple’s audio show, The Best Podcast Ever.
Howie discussed with the married hosting duo how he navigates social media and utilizes TikTok.
Amid their conversation, Miranda brought up the time when Howie did a reaction video to content that showed a prolapsed anus.
The comedian admitted that his reaction TikTok bit was done “out of ignorance.”
He went on to explain that the snippet was done “in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic” when people were wondering if prolapsed anus’ were “Covid related.”
“I saw this picture in my for you feed, of what I thought was kind of a gross-looking wet muffin on the back of somebody’s pants,” Howie elaborated.
“I did not know what it was,” he disclosed in reference to the prolapsed anus.
Howie then said he proceeded to repost the content in the background of a TikTok, where he personally asked fans if the damaged anus shown was “Covid related.”
FANS NEVER FORGET
His son called him two hours after he uploaded the TikTok, demanding that he take down the video because it was “trending worldwide” and on “other platforms” like Twitter.
The Gremlins alum deleted the video, and asked his son what it was that he posted.
His offspring informed him that what he uploaded was a snap of a “prolapsed anus.”
Howie added that “at that point,” he still didn’t realize that someone’s “a** could fall out.”
The TV star revealed that he still doesn’t understand why there was so much “hoopla over the post,” considering that it wasn’t his picture.
“To this day if you go on my TikTok right now, whatever I post, and I constantly post, they always go ‘we will never forget’ [and] ‘we will remember,’ so I’m constantly punished for it,” Howie noted.
HOWIE’S HATE
This wasn’t the only time that Howie found himself catching fans’ wrath.
In June, he was slammed by AGT fans for his Golden Buzzer pick.
Fans called it “unworthy” and “a waste” of a pick.
Murmuration performed on stage on an episode of AGT that aired on June 20.
There were about 65 dancers sitting in chairs, all dressed in black outfits.
They were blindfolded and moved their arms and heads together to create a dance.
It was almost like synchronized swimming, but with blindfolds and not in the water.
Howie seemed to really love it, however, as he called it “original, astounding,” and “mesmerizing.”
He said he wanted to be a part of the group and got up to mimic the dance moves.
Howie eventually walked to the center of the table, doing the moves, and then pressed the Golden Buzzer.
The Golden Buzzer allows an act to skip the rest of the audition rounds and go straight through to the live shows.
Despite everyone in the audience seemingly loving the act, fans at home did not agree with Howie’s Golden Buzzer pick.
‘JUST STOP!’
Some fans did not think that Murmuration should have gotten the honor.
They took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their opinions on the act.
One fan wrote under the video of Murmuration: “Not golden buzzer worthy, in my opinion.”
“Please stop with the groups getting golden buzzers. Stop!” said another.
A third added: “They were great, but the group from India deserved it.”
An avid AGT watcher tweeted: “#AGT another group getting the golden buzzer? D**nit. Enough with these groups. Enough!”
“Why can’t a comedian get a golden buzzer? Disappointed in Howie. #AGT,” said one fan.
“I mean they were really good but not #GoldenBuzzer worthy. #AGT,” wrote another.
