But Howie demonstrated that he's feeling fit and healthy as he fooled around during a day out with his granddaughter Abbey on Wednesday.

He shared a TikTok video of himself running around a lawn playing tag with the waiter at the restaurant they went to.

Howie and the worker jumped over a railing and dashed across the manicured garden, chasing each other round and round.

They eventually slowed to a walk and returned to the restaurant, chatting away as they strolled back as if nothing had happened.

The camera panned to Abbey, who was laughing hysterically at her grandfather's antics and stuck her tongue out at the lens.

Howie captioned the playful video: "Took my granddaughter to dinner. Asked the waiter for French fries and a game of tag."

The comedian was rushed to the hospital after fainting at an L.A. area Starbucks on Wednesday.

Howie was at a Starbucks in Woodland Hills, California, with his wife, Terry, and friends when he suddenly passed out.

The TV personality fell over and was then laid out on a cement bench.

Paramedics were called to the scene of the incident before Howie was rushed to a hospital in nearby Tarzana.

Howie later explained that he collapsed because he was dehydrated from his recent colonoscopy.

HEALTH SCARE

While joined by his daughter Jaclyn Schultz on a recent episode of the podcast, he made light of his recent health scare.

He began: "First of all, what has this world come to where you can't pass out in a Starbucks privately anymore?"

"I was dehydrated. I had a colonoscopy a few days ago," Howie explained.

"They empty you out. You take a drink, and you empty out — I had consensual diarrhea for, you know, an entire night essentially."

After insisting he was dehydrated due to the procedure, Howie claimed "from the moment I woke up from the colonoscopy I went and I worked."

PASSED OUT

He then shared details of the week that led up to him "passing out" in public, joking that part of the reason he fainted was due to the price of the large macchiato he ordered at Starbucks.

Howie also noted that he rarely drinks water and instead lives on "coffee and caffeine, which also exacerbates dehydration, I was told."

He has battled a string of physical and mental health issues in the past, including heart problems, OCD and ADHD.

His son gave fans an update on Howie's condition a day after he collapsed.
