Howie Mandel has finally responded to Andy Cohen calling him out for his interview with Tom Sandoval. Sandoval did not receive approval from Bravo before sitting down with Howie. In response, Cohen called Howie a “jackhole.”
“I was a jackhole, I’m a jackhloe on ‘Watch What Happens’ – Andy Cohen said I’m a jackhole, [and] I think that’s positive,” Mandel said on Nick Viall’s podcast, “Viall Files.”
“Bravo hates me,” Mandel continued.
A Bravo spokesperson released a statement to Page Six at the time, stating that, “Sandoval did give the network a heads-up that he was going on Howie’s podcast.” A rep for Tom explained to Page Six that “the network and the production company were fully aware of Tom doing the podcast prior, and there was a PR rep for Vanderpump Rules present for the podcast.”
This is possibly a fireable offense and now fans are waiting to see whether Sandoval will return to the show for another season.
