Immediately following his controversial interview with Vanderpump Rules villain Tom Sandoval, Howie Mandel hit back at Andy Cohen, Lala Kent, and swarms of fans. I don’t have to do my homework. I’m familiar with [Sandoval]. Mandel told Extra’s Billy Bush he knows what show Cohen is on in response to Cohen’s claim he didn’t do his homework before the interview. In addition, Mandel, 67, said it is very funny for him to watch everybody else since he doesn’t even know the names of some of the cast members.
Despite the fact that he doesn’t watch the Bravo reality show, he wants to provide Sandoval with a place where he can speak out. Even though Mandel does not condone Sandoval’s affair with Ariana Madix’s close friend Raquel Leviss, he commended the bar owner, 40, for being vulnerable and removing the stigma from mental illness. Furthermore, the host of Deal or No Deal explained he had no intention of weaponizing Sandoval’s actions or challenging him over the secret affair.

I won’t argue with you. I won’t call you out. Rather than a deposition, this is a podcast,” Mandel said, describing Sandoval as a “visibly shaken, visibly damaged” human being. In his words, Howie Mandel said, I probably feel just as bad for the girl he cheated on, the girl he cheated with, and for everyone who felt let down by my failure to ask the right question. He continued, saying it was an honour to be named Cohen’s “jackhole” of the day on Tuesday night’s “Watch What Happens Live.” Isn’t it funny how they claim I didn’t do my homework? The funny thing is that I’m watching some of these people talk about what I did and they seem to be taking some funny shots at me,” Mandel told Bush, who pressed for details. According to his explanation, Lala was sitting in some hotel room in New York, in the dark, complaining about the lighting on his podcast. “She’s in the dark!” he said. Her criticism was that! It’s the first time the “America’s Got Talent” judge has experienced this kind of vitriol or negativity, he said. He says he feels like he’s on lockdown.
