Add Page Six on Google Howie Mandel horrified his daughter by claiming he gets “happy ending” massages — despite being married to her mother.
The comedian made the shocking confession — which appeared to be a joke — to daughter Jackie Shultz, 42, and their guest, influencer Camilla Araujo, on last Tuesday’s episode of their “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast.
“The truth is — I got so embarrassed the last time — I have this lady that gives me tuggies,” Mandel, 70, said. “I pay like $25, and I get hand jobs.”
A visibly shocked Shultz asked Araujo if she would ever “have these conversations” with her own dad, as Mandel shared more about his alleged massage experience.
“I asked her for a massage after she finished,” he recalled. “She looked at me like, ‘Get the f–k out of here.'”
When Araujo, 24, noted that the process “usually starts with a massage, and that’s why it’s called a happy ending,” Mandel replied, “Don’t you think it would be happy if she just loosened my shoulders?”
Shultz was then pressed by Araujo to weigh in on the wild topic.
“I don’t have any thoughts on this,” she said, telling her dad, “I’m always so uncomfortable when you make these jokes. This is not like a father-daughter conversation usually.”
Shultz also asked if getting a happy ending would be “considered cheating,” and if her mom and Mandel’s wife, Terry Soil, would “be upset” by this.
“You can call her,” Mandel told his daughter.
Araujo was shocked learning Mandel has a wife, as the “America’s Got Talent” judge confirmed he’s “been married for like 48 years.”

The father-daughter duo also joked that they’ve “been in a lot of therapy” over the years because Shultz “was uncontrollable” and “got in trouble a lot” back in the day.
Shultz agreed, “I was a bad teenager.”
Mandel suggested his spicy confession was actually a joke in a photo that his rep sent to the Daily Mail, which showed Mandel pointing to his wife as she wore a glove on her hand and held up $25 in cash.
Page Six reached out to Mandel’s rep for comment.
Mandel and Soil, 70, are high school sweethearts, having met as teenagers in their hometown of Toronto, Canada.
The couple got married in March 1980 and have three children: son Alex Mandel, 36, and daughters Shultz and Riley Ehrlich, 34.
Mandel previously told Parade Magazine that he’s tried to teach his kids to focus on being happy rather than “making money or getting famous.”
“If you’re doing something you look forward to and it’s fun, then you’ve made it,” he said, adding, “I happen to be lucky that way.”
