David Dobrik confronts Howie Mandel after disturbing TikToks surface David Dobrik, YouTube \/ Howie Mandel, TikTok[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]Canadian comedian and notable television host Howie Mandel sparked rumors across the net that he\u2019d been kidnapped after posting several concerning TikToks \u2014 so YouTube\u2019s very own David Dobrik took matters into his own hands. While Howie Mandel is best known for having hosted such shows as America\u2019s Got Talent and Deal or no Deal, he\u2019s also delving into the world of online entertainment, even making his own TikTok account. Mandel\u2019s normal repertoire of humorous videos and dance duets were interrupted by a few TikToks that prompted concern among his fans \u2014 especially after TikToker \u2018baliyadi\u2019 pointed out some \u201chidden messages\u201d in his videos in her seven-part series on the subject. The rumors became so pronounced that they even caught the attention of YouTube star David Dobrik, who commented on one of Mandel\u2019s TikToks, asking him to reach out and even speculating that his phone had been hacked. \u201cHowie, I think your phone\u2019s been hacked, you\u2019re sending me some scary stuff,\u201d Dobrik wrote. \u201cPlease reach out to me or Natalie.\u201d With Dobrik and Mandel being pals in real life, the YouTuber made an appearance at the TV host\u2019s private home to check up on his friend, who seemed to be confused as to why fans were worried about him. \u201cI don\u2019t understand why they\u2019re worried!\u201d Mandel shouted in a video posted to Dobrik\u2019s TikTok profile, covered in a plastic shield and surgical gloves. \u201c\u2018Cause your TikToks \u2014 they\u2019re weird,\u201d Dobrik replied. \u201cWeird? I\u2019m 65!\u201d Mandel humorously shot back. \u201cI\u2019m on TikTok! That\u2019s weird! \u2026I\u2019m okay! Nobody\u2019s holding me [hostage]. I can go wherever I want!\u201d Madel further confirmed that he was in no danger during a subsequent duet with Dobrik\u2019s video via TikTok, mouthing, \u201cI\u2019m okay\u201d and giving the camera a thumbs up (while simultaneously rolling his eyes at Dobrik\u2019s jokes). Mandel is known for his mysophobia, or irrational fear of germs, which could account for his body shield and gloves \u2014 but considering the current global climate, his extra health precautions certainly don\u2019t look too out of place these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
