“You Look Great For Your Age” And Other Backhanded Compliments You Should Avoid
About this episode
70-year-old Howie Mandel called out Kelly and Mark this week for saying that he looks great, right after he told them his age. Mandel compared it to someone saying “You’re smart for a stupid person.” It got us thinking about how many other backhanded compliments we’ve received over the years, and there are a plenty. Also, we go over a very simple way to avoid ever making someone uncomfortable while trying to say something nice… there are at least three words you should NEVER include in a compliment.
