Howie Mandel blasts Mel B for not understanding things on 'AGT: Fantasy League'
Howie Mandel is well-versed with his fellow judge Mel B and he jokingly slammed her for not understanding things on 'AGT: Fantasy League' in a recent episode.
When asked about Kseniya Simonova's sand art act, Mel B said, “I understood the story from beginning to end. I understood absolutely everything and this makes much more sense to me when you’re telling a story that means something to you. It was really, really special.”
Howie added, "It’s such a real, great story. Such a great piece of art and the best compliment I can give you is Mel B understood every moment of it.”
Later on in the episode, Mel B failed to understand Yu Hojin's magic act and Mandel blasted her for not understanding it.
