Sofia Vergara’s ‘AGT’ Costar Howie Mandel Tries To Play Cupid After Eligibility For The Bachelor: ‘She’s On The Market’
This is not the first time that Mandel has recently mocked the love life of his fellow judge.
In the first AGT season 18 live, he joked, “If you’re looking for eligible bachelors, you should have talked to Sofia because she’s on the market right now.”
After getting a reaction, the judge later clarified that he wasn’t actually trying to accommodate her and emphasized that she “doesn’t need my help.”
“I think everyone watching and available believes they are the perfect match for Sofia,” he explained to Extra in that time. “I don’t think, Sofía, to be honest… that she doesn’t need my help. She really doesn’t.”
Mandel continued to mock Vergara in the weeks that followed. He recently asked a fellow judge on Tuesday night,
“You like relationship comedy, don’t you? Too soon?” after the performance of comedian Orlando Leyba with stories from his married life.
