Howie Mandel Pokes Fun at Newly Single 'AGT' Judge Sofía Vergara
As many people now know, Sofía Vergara and her estranged husband Joe Manganiello are divorcing after seven years of marriage. On last night's episode of America's Got Talent, it seemed that Vergara's co-host Howie Mandel couldn't help but draw attention to the news.
After Brynn Cummings brought out her ventriloquist puppet, who flirted with Heidi Klum, Mandel quipped, "If you’re looking for eligible bachelors, you should’ve talked to Sofía because she’s in the market right now."

While Vergara didn't seem to mind and was even filmed laughing and cheering, fellow co-host Terry Crews didn't appreciate the comment. He replied to Mandel, "No, we are not doing that."
Vergara's dating life is a topic of interest to many in the media and beyond, and several of her co-stars and friends have been asked about her dating prospects since news of her divorce came out.
Former Modern Family co-star Julie Bowen told E! News, "I have no doubt that if she wishes to be in a relationship, she will be."
Vergara and Manganiello confirmed their split to a joint statement to Page Six in July. They told the outlet, "We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives."
