Howie Mandel isn’t letting anyone shame him for his matchmaking joke about fellow judge Sofia Vergara!
As Vergara’s split from her husband, Joe Manganiello, put her back on the market, Mandel took the situation lightly. In a recent episode of “AGT,” the 67-year-old judge jokingly mentioned the “Modern Family” alum’s single status, prompting a backlash from fans.
However, the “Deal or No Deal” host hit back at the backlash, still standing by his joke.

In no time, the 67-year-old stand-up personality defended his joke about his colleague’s new relationship status. He explained to Extra that it’s not too early to make fun of the situation. “People online say, ‘Too fast.’ I think once you’re available, it’s not too soon. He’s fresh, man.”

He later explained how Vergara took the joke. “People think that’s mean and insensitive,” Mandel explains. “If you look at Sofía, she screamed after she came to me and thought it was funny. She said, ‘Yes,’ so she has a great sense of humor, and I wouldn’t do anything to hurt friends first, and colleagues.”
When asked who he believed would be the ideal bachelor for his co-workers, the “Walk Like A Man” star replied that his co-workers didn’t need help finding a partner.
“I think everyone who watched Who’s Who believed they were the perfect match for Sofía. I don’t think Sofía, to be honest… she doesn’t need my help. He really isn’t.”
He continued with sweet words for his co-judge, calling him “a good friend, a smart person, a businessman, a great force, an incredible sense of humor.” Mandel’s take on Vergara’s hilarious jokes isn’t far from Vergara’s feelings, considering she showered him with love after the episode.
Hours after the screening, the 51-year-old TV personality declared her love for Mandel on her Instagram. She shared a selfie featuring her and sweetly captioned it, “Luv U,” and tagged her. As for the joke, it happened on Tuesday’s episode of “AGT.”
Contestant Brynn Cummings performed a ventriloquist act asking Heidi Klum to help choose a suitable bachelor for her doll. As the show ended, the Canadian comedian talked about Brynn’s talent before referencing Vergara’s relationship status.

He said, “I have one more piece of advice for you: if you’re looking for an eligible bachelor, you should talk to Sofía because she’s on the market right now.” In response to his comments, the “Chasing Papi” actor laughed and cheered loudly.
Tom Cruise Looks Like He’s Hoping To Rekindle With ‘Modern Family’ Alum
It looks like Mandel doesn’t need his matchmaking skills for Vergara, as one of his old lovers might be looking to rekindle their flame. In the midst of the “Hot Pursuit” star’s divorce, reports surfaced that Tom Cruise was considering having the Colombian-born back in his life.
The “Top Gun: Maverick” star and Vergara allegedly had a brief fling in 2006 after the actor’s divorce from Nicole Kidman. A source reflected on the past bond between Cruise and Vergara, saying they “already had that history, although it was more of a short fling than a full-on romance.”
However, the “AGT” judge “didn’t signal at the time that he wanted anything long-term, so it went away in a really amicable way, and they stayed friends.” The insider went on to claim, “It’s always been eaten up by Tom that he dumped Sofia and chose Katie.”
In 2006, the actor tied the knot with actress Katie Holmes, and the two share a daughter, Suri. However, the former couple called off their marriage in 2012. According to Holmes, the cause of the split was the “Oblivion” actor’s belief in Scientology, which has become controversial.

According to insiders, what could also fuel Cruise’s love for the “Wild Card” actor is that he “checks all the boxes.” Therefore, the actors of “Magnolia” believe that they can be a real Hollywood power couple.
It remains to be seen how the two will work out and if Cruise’s religion doesn’t get in the way of their relationship like before. According to reports, it wasn’t something the actress was willing to do, so she and Cruise parted ways.
