00:00 That's it.
00:00 - Okay, I think she's done.
00:05 - Sofia Vergara seems to have heard one joke too many
00:10 about her newly single status.
00:12 The America's Got Talent judge was ready to walk off stage
00:15 on Wednesday's episode after co-star Howie Mandel
00:18 made another crack about her dating life.
00:21 Sofia was a reluctant participant
00:23 in the show's totseat segment,
00:25 where she sat on a throne made of tater tots,
00:27 yes really, and took a lie detector test.
00:31 The Modern Family alum was passing with flying colors,
00:34 but when Howie stepped in to ask a personal question,
00:37 Sofia indicated that she'd had enough.
00:40 - Do you see anybody in the audience tonight
00:42 that you're interested in?
00:43 (audience cheering)
00:46 - That's it, that's it.
00:48 - Okay, I think she's done.
00:52 - Though the bit was likely all in good fun,
00:56 it's not the first time Howie has openly referenced
00:58 Sofia's recent relationship change.
01:01 In August, he playfully called her out
01:03 after a ventriloquist act on the show
01:05 needed an eligible participant looking for love,
01:08 and Sofia was not only unfazed,
01:10 but also seemed to agree that she would've been
01:12 the right choice for the role.
01:14 - If you're looking for eligible bachelors,
01:17 you should've talked to Sofia
01:18 'cause she's in the market right now.
01:20 (audience cheering)
01:21 - Yes! - No, no.
01:23 We are not doing that here.
01:25 - The actress split from husband Joe Manganiello
01:27 over the summer after seven years of marriage
01:29 and has been glowing in recent weeks,
01:32 though Howie apparently can't help himself
01:34 when it comes to putting Sofia in the hot seat, or tot seat.
01:37 She previously told Access Hollywood
01:40 that there's no hard feelings
01:41 and she has no problem dishing right back.
01:44 - I always give him a hard time.
01:46 That's why he gives me a hard time.
01:47 I love it.
01:49 - Sofia and Joe tied the knot in 2015
01:51 after being set up by her Modern Family co-star,
01:53 Jesse Tyler Ferguson,
01:55 and just before their five-year wedding anniversary,
01:58 the True Blood alum told Access Hollywood
02:00 about the romantic way he proposed.
02:02 What do you remember most about proposing to Sofia?
02:06 - Well, it was on Christmas Eve
02:10 and I took her to Kauai, the island of Kauai,
02:16 and I proposed while the sun was going down
02:21 over the bay and I had rented this beautiful hotel room
02:26 overlooking the bay
02:29 and I had a whole speech prepared in Spanish.
02:36 So I had a big, I mean, it was like a monologue in Spanish
02:41 that I had.
02:42 And she was really surprised.
02:47 She had no idea that it was coming.
02:52 So she made me repeat the speech in Spanish
02:55 because she couldn't even, she didn't even hear it.
02:59 Yeah, she didn't even, oh my God, you know.
03:02 But yeah, no, I mean, that's such a huge moment.
03:05 And in a man's life, when you propose,
03:09 it's like a big, it's a big thing, you know?
03:12 And you make that special and the planning of it
03:16 and how you're gonna do it, where you're gonna do it,
03:19 you know, it's such an exciting part of life.
03:23 - Yeah, you've said it's the best decision of your life
03:26 and look at Sofia, we all agree.
03:29 We don't even have to know.
03:31 When you first started dating though,
03:33 she said she was unsure because you were too young,
03:35 you were an actor.
03:37 What did it take for her to finally come around?
03:39 Were you just, you know, consistency is key?
03:41 - She says that, but.
03:44 - And you're like, live.
03:46 - She didn't, I mean, look.
03:48 - All live.
03:49 - Yeah, no, I mean, you know, those might've been
03:53 the things that she thought would've kept her from it,
03:56 but you know, no, I mean, you know, right out of the gate,
03:59 it was like, this is gonna work.
04:02 And I think, yeah, I think we both knew that.
04:07 We were having fun.
