AGT’s Sofia Vergara boos co-judge Howie Mandel after he criticizes popular act as fans beg show

AGT’s Sofia Vergara boos co-judge Howie Mandel after he criticizes popular act as fans beg show to ‘get rid’ of him

AMERICA'S Got Talent has attempted to end its 18th season on a high note, but Howie Mandel wouldn't keep his criticism to himself.

The final 11 AGT acts performed during tonight's live show to fight for their chance at $1million and a show in Las Vegas.

Early in the night, the Mzansi Youth Choir from South Africa took to the stage.

They were an early fan favorite in the competition, and they even received the audience's golden buzzer.

After they performed, they received a positive response from the audience and all of the judges except one.

Howie, 67, admitted that the Mzansi Youth Choir was his favorite choir "in the history of AGT," but there was a catch.

He continued: "If this was the album, this wasn't my favorite number you've done out of the three."

This prompted Sofia Vergara, 51, to loudly boo across the judging table, and the crowd joined her.

Howie responded by snapping back: "Oh, what a wonderful cheerleader you are Sofia."

STRIKE TWO
Later in the episode, Howie made another comment that had the crowd throwing a fit.

The dance group Chibi Unity performed an epic dance number that seemed to please the audience.

Three out of the four judges even gave them a standing ovation while Howie sat in his chair.

He seemed surprised that the group received such a positive and overwhelming response.

After glowing compliments from the first three judges, Howie said their performance was "at best mediocre."

That comment was followed by a loud gasp from Sofia and a massive boo from the crowd.

Sofia then slammed her hand on the table and yelled: "Stop it" several times.

LET IT GO
Fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, slammed Howie for his unkind comments on the show.

One said: "Howie’s comments over the last year or so have been getting so mean-spirited. It sounds like he doesn’t enjoy being a judge anymore. Maybe it’s time to not renew that contract. Just saying."

Another said: "Howie is disrespectful to the Japanese dance group. His behavior was very rude. If he doesn't like it then he should quit the show."

A third said: "Thank you for trying to keep Howie in line. He needs to retire. @SofiaVergara."

Someone said: "The best improvement you can make for next year, get rid of Howie. AGT is one of the best shows ever on TV. It's so much more than a talent show. It's dreams coming true."

A fifth said: "Howie makes me FURIOUS!!! Negative reviews of finalists are WRONG! Stand up & applaud them for being finalists!!!!"
