HOWIE Mandel has shaded his fellow America’s Got Talent judge, Sofia Vergara.

He compared Sofia, 51, and her ex-husband, Joe Manganiello’s divorce to Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ marriage.

Howie, 68, appeared on Live with Kelly and Mark on Wednesday.

He talked about his time in Las Vegas, Nevada, his wife, and the new show, Deal or No Deal Island.

He explained the premise of the show, which is basically a bunch of cases filled with money are dropped onto an island.

The contestants have to go through water, trees, and snakes to get them.

“And whatever they get they play for, which leads up to the final show, and could add up to $200 million,” Howie told the hosts.

Joe, 47, hosts the new edition of the show while Howie serves as executive producer.

The comedian used to host Deal or No Deal from 2005 to 2019.

SEND JOE IN!

Howie didn’t host partially because he said they are close to the equator, which means more snakes and lizards.

“And I’m really good friends with Sofia Vergara,” he said.

They two host AGT together with Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell.

“And she said, ‘Please send Joe’,” Howie told the hosts.

Kelly, 53, cracked up as Mark, 52, had a shocked grin on his face.

Howie shrugged and then pointed to the hosts and said, “Not every marriage lasts!”

Kelly and Mark have been married since 1996 and share three children together.

The hosts nodded as Kelly brought the conversation back to the show.

J-NOE MORE!

Joe filed for divorce from Sofia in July 2023.

The court documents list the reason for the divorce as irreconcilable differences.

However, it was later revealed that they couldn’t agree on having children.

They had a prenup agreement and each party was able to keep their assets.
