Howie Mandel doubles down on Sofia Vergara single joke: 'The minute Joe left... that's the time to advertise'
Fox News
"America's Got Talent" judge Howie Mandel shared with Fox News Digital why he believes his joke about Sofia Vergara being newly single amid her divorce from Joe Manganiello was appropriate.
"I loved it. I loved my Sofia joke. And a lot of people hated me online, I don't know why. They said it was too soon, to make a joke about her being single. I think last year was too soon. I think the minute Joe left the house, that's the time to advertise. That's just my opinion," Mandel said. Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

Last week, Mandel teased contestant Brynn Cummings, a young ventriloquist and mentalist, after she sought Heidi Klum's advice for her bit. Cummings was setting her puppet Penelope up with a potential suitor.
