HOWIE Mandel looked unbothered when Heidi Klum jumped on his lap during the most recent episode of America’s Got Talent.
However, that may cause a problem with Howie‘s wife, Terry, whom he has been married to since 1980.

During Jelly Boy The Clown’s performance, the performer put a sword down his throat after eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
He showed them the sword with a bit of peanut butter on the end of it.
Heidi, 51, was so disgusted that she moved away and sat on Howie’s lap.
The model wagged her finger and leaned into Howie.
Howie raised his eyebrows and shrugged, looking into the audience.
He did not put his hands around her waist or anything and kept them to his sides.
‘I WAS HAPPILY MARRIED’
The U.S. Sun caught up with Howie on the red carpet after Tuesday’s show in an exclusive interview.
When asked to talk through the moment, the comedian said that he “didn’t want to talk through it” because he is a happily married man.
“Let’s just say I was a happily married man,” he said.
“I hope I’m still a happily married man because it was done on national TV.”
“I have some explaining to do to my wife, but I was at work, right?” he told The U.S. Sun.
“And I didn’t initiate it.”
Howie said that the glitter on him came from The Golden Buzzer that Heidi pressed and a “beautiful woman was on his lap” and that’s what happened at the office.
“What a great job,” he laughed. “I loved this job.”
America's Got Talent judges
THOUSANDS of hopefuls have graced the America's Got Talent stage to showcase their abilities.
Here is some more information about the A-list judges.
Simon Cowell – On October 22, 2015, it was revealed Simon was replacing Howard Stern on the AGT judges panel. He became a judge during the program’s 11th season and has since remained a series regular.

ABOUT TERRY
Howie first met Terry Soil when they were children.
They both attended high school together in Toronto, Canada, and met when Howie asked her for money to buy fries in the lunch line.
Howie proposed to her in a deli before they got married in March 1980.
They share three children together – Alex, born in 1989, and two daughters, Jackie and Riley, born in 1984 and 1992.
‘I BLEW IT!’
This wasn’t the only mistake that Howie made on Tuesday night.
After watching singer Dee Dee Simon perform her rendition of Lose Control, he admitted that he confused two country singers.
The former Deal or No Deal host praised the contestants by telling her her performance was so good that it “knocked his shoes off.”
His next comment, however, caused some controversy among fans.
Howie failed to come up with the song’s original singer, Teddy Swims, and confused him with country artist Jelly Roll.
“I gotta tell you something. I would imagine Jelly Roll is gonna be posting that,” the judge told Dee Dee.
“You made him proud. You made it your own.”
When fans called him out on his mistake, he responded to a post on social media about it.
“I know the difference and I’m embarrassed,” Howie wrote to one disgruntled fan.
“I made a mistake. Love them both,” he said to another.
“I love Teddy. I blew it.”
