Let me get this out of the way right off the bat:  HOWIE MANDEL was NOT kidnapped.  Now I suppose you'll want to know what the heck I'm talking about.

Howie posted a TikTok video a while ago making fun of how everybody's being all crafty in quarantine.  His "craft" idea was to take a paper bag and write "shoe stuff" on it, and turn it into a container for all your shoe stuff.

And some people decided that he had been kidnapped, because he was acting a little odd.  Also, he was wearing a shirt that said "Santa Monica" . . . supposedly to let people know where he was being imprisoned.

And when he pointed to the words "shoe stuff" on the bag, he emphasized the "S.O.S." 

Plus, he's been making a LOT of weird TikTok videos lately.  Which doesn't seem AT ALL out of character for Howie.  But still, he made a follow-up video to assure everyone he's fine.
