00:00 you're looking for eligible bachelors, you should have talked to Sophia because she's in the market
00:05 right now." Howie Mandel put his America's Got Talent co-star Sophia Vergara in the hot seat
00:12 when he called her out for being newly single on Tuesday night's show, and she had the best
00:17 reaction. During the new episode of the hit competition series, ventriloquist Brynn Cummings
00:23 performed a bit where she tried to set her puppet up with an eligible bachelor and enlisted the
00:28 help of judge Heidi Klum. "We're gonna find you a new boyfriend. Oh great, you're gonna pull a
00:34 bachelor out of the hat and it gets better. I thought Heidi could help us. Heidi is that okay?
00:40 Yes. How can I help?" So next to me is a binder full of photos of eligible bachelors. Now Heidi,
00:49 we all know compatibility isn't about looks. That's why you'll be choosing Penelope's date
00:54 based on his favorite hobby. Heidi, you have a free choice. As I flip through the binder,
01:00 you tell me when to stop. No pressure, Heidi. Just my life here. I'll try my best."
01:07 As the pair picked the love connection and the 12-year-old wrapped up her performance,
01:12 the panel weighed in, leading Howie to joke that it's Sophia who should have been the one
01:16 finding the perfect match. The Modern Family alum looked unfazed by the remark and seemed to agree
01:22 that she would have been a good fit for the job. "No, no, we are not doing that here."
01:29 The banter calms just weeks after news broke that the 51-year-old and her husband Joe Manganiello
01:35 have called it quits. In July, the True Blood actor filed for divorce after seven years of
01:40 marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." The former couple tied the knot in 2015 and back in
01:46 March 2021. Access Hollywood spoke to Joe right before their five-year wedding anniversary when
01:52 he dished on the romantic way he proposed. "What do you remember most about proposing to Sophia?"
01:59 "Well, it was on Christmas Eve and I took her to Kauai, the island of Kauai,
02:09 and I proposed while the sun was going down over the bay and I had rented this beautiful hotel room
02:20 overlooking the bay and I had a whole speech prepared in Spanish. So I had a big, like,
02:31 I mean, it was like a monologue in Spanish that I had and she was really surprised. She had no idea
02:41 that it was coming. So she made me repeat the speech in Spanish because she couldn't even,
02:50 she didn't even hear it. Yeah, oh my God, you know. But yeah, no, I mean, that's such a huge
02:57 moment in a man's life when you propose. It's like a big, it's a big thing, you know, and you
03:06 make that special and the planning of it and how you're going to do it, where you're going to do it,
03:12 you know, it's such an exciting part of life." "Yeah, you've said it's the best decision of your
03:19 life and look, it's Sophia. We all agree. We don't even have to know. When you first started dating
03:26 though, she said she was unsure because you were too young, you were an actor. What did it take for
03:31 her to finally come around? Were you just, you know, consistency is key?" "She says that, but..."
03:37 "You're like, live." "I mean, yeah, no, I mean, you know, those might have been the things that
03:47 she thought would have kept her from it. But, you know, no, I mean, you know, right out of the gate,
03:53 it was like, this is going to work. And I think, yeah, I think we both knew that we were having fun."
