During the episode, AGT host Terry Crews, 55, read an Oklahoma viewer's comment that was aimed at Howie, 67.

The fan stated: "Howie didn't like some of the acts tonight. Well, sir, I don't like your hat tonight.

"Same hat as last week and the week before!"

As Terry finished reading the complaint, Howie removed his plum-colored fedora and pulled on a black bob-cut wig, much to the surprise of his co-judges and the studio audience.

The former Deal or No Deal host shook his new hair side to side, in Tina Turner-like fashion, as Terry asked Heidi Klum: "Heidi you like this or the hat, which one?"

The supermodel replied: "I like this. He should wear it for the rest of the night!"

Howie then stood up for the audience and gyrated his body, tossing the wig all around his head as the onlookers cheered.

The TV personality posted the clip on his Instagram account Tuesday with the caption: "Is this better? #AGT"

He uploaded another photo of himself wearing both the hat and the wig, captioned: "Feeling avant-garde #AGT," that showed him posing on the red carpet.

Fans rushed to comment on the posts, with one person writing: "The bob! Love it."

Another fan commented: "Move over Lord Farquaad, the real king is here."

"Giving Willy Wonka Howie," added a third.

A fourth commenter remarked: "The other 5th Beatle."

While a fifth person commented a "nestling doll emoji" before adding "but creepier."

ANGRY RESPONSE

Last week, Sofia Vergara stormed off the America's Got Talent set as Howie Mandel asked her a personal question.

She was taking a lie detector test, and Howie made a comment about her being single again.

The actress split from her husband, Joe Manganiello, 46, in July.

On the AGT results show on Wednesday, Terry asked Sofia to try out their lie detector test.

After all the judges asked questions sent in by fans, they asked Sofia their own personal questions.

They first asked her if she preferred to work on AGT or Modern Family, and then who would she rather push off a cliff - Howie or Simon Cowell.

Then, they got to their own questions.

"Do you see anyone in the audience that you're interested in?" Howie asked.

Sofia's mouth hung open, and she ripped the arm cuff off, not answering Howie's question, as the fans cheered.

She stopped playing the game and went back to her seat.

"That's it! She's done!" host Terry Crews said.

This is not the first time Howie has made fun of his co-judge after her divorce.

TIK TOK TROUBLES

Recently, Howie divulged that a certain TikTok has gotten him into some trouble.

Howie confessed on Raven-Symone's podcast that a controversial clip he shared and then axed still haunts him.

The 67-year-old TV personality sat down with Raven, 37, and her wife, Miranda Maday, on the couple's audio show, The Best Podcast Ever.

Howie discussed with the married hosting duo how he navigates social media and utilizes TikTok.

Amid their conversation, Miranda brought up the time when Howie did a reaction video to content that showed a prolapsed anus.

The comedian admitted that his reaction TikTok bit was done "out of ignorance."

He went on to explain that the snippet was done "in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic" when people were wondering if prolapsed anus' were "Covid related."

"I saw this picture in my for you feed, of what I thought was kind of a gross-looking wet muffin on the back of somebody's pants," Howie elaborated.

"I did not know what it was," he disclosed in reference to the prolapsed anus.

Howie then said he proceeded to repost the content in the background of a TikTok, where he personally asked fans if the damaged anus shown was "Covid related."

FANS NEVER FORGET

His son called him two hours after he uploaded the TikTok, demanding that he take down the video because it was "trending worldwide" and on "other platforms" like Twitter.

The Gremlins alum deleted the video and asked his son what it was that he posted.

His offspring informed him that what he uploaded was a snap of a "prolapsed anus."

Howie added that "at that point," he still didn't realize that someone's "a** could fall out."

The TV star revealed that he still doesn't understand why there was so much "hoopla over the post," considering that it wasn't his picture.

"To this day if you go on my TikTok right now, whatever I post, and I constantly post, they always go 'we will never forget' [and] 'we will remember,' so I'm constantly punished for it," Howie noted.
