During the September 13 recording of America’s Got Talent, Sofia Vergara was put through a lie detector test, which was used to their full advantage by the judges. A strange chair in the shape of a stack of tater tots was used to hold her and an arm cuff was used to check her vital signs.
Terry Crews showed off the “tot seat,” a heated seat shaped like tater tots. When Crews asked if any of the judges wanted to take the test, Simon Cowell offered Vergara as a ready participant. The judges then asked her a number of questions. Howie Mandel asked one of them, and things didn’t go as planned.

Mandel asked Vergara if there was anyone in the crowd that she liked, referring to the fact that she had been single for almost ten years and was now looking for love. She refused to answer the question, which surprised everyone, even Mandel. She took off the arm cuff instead and went back to her place at the judge’s table.
People online are angry at Howie Mandel for his question, especially since it was made just a few weeks after he made a joke about Vergara being single in a similar way. During an act on the show last month, Mandel said something about being single, which some fans didn’t like.
Because of this, Howie Mandel talked about it in an interview with Extra. Some people online thought the joke came “too soon,” but Mandel didn’t agree. “I think it’s never too soon as long as you’re available,” he said. It’s okay, people; she’s new.” He also said that he wouldn’t have made the joke if he knew it would make her feel bad.
On July 17, Sofia Vergara and her husband of seven years, Joe Manganiello, said they were splitting up. Two days later, on July 18, Joe filed for divorce, saying they had “irreconcilable differences.” They said they loved and respected each other in their joint statement, but they didn’t go into specifics.

“We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” they said in a statement on July 17. Separation papers showed that the couple split up on July 2. “Because we love and care about each other a lot, we kindly ask that you please give us some space while we get used to this new part of our lives.”
There was a prenuptial deal between the two people, and it was thought that Joe wanted a divorce because Vergara didn’t want kids. They got married in November 2015 after meeting for the first time in May 2014. There is a child between Sofia and a former partner.
