'AGT' Fans Are Begging to “Unsee” This Photo of Judges Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel
America's Got Talent season 14 is currently airing its quarterfinals shows on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
After last Wednesday's results show, judge Howie Mandel shocked fans with a photoshopped image of himself and Simon Cowell.
The AGT 2019 finale will air on September 17 and 18.
After the first America's Got Talent season 14 quarterfinals results show last week, #AGT Twitter absolutely lost it, but not just because they were upset with who went home. AGT viewers also went berserk over a particularly hilarious photoshopped image of judges Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel that emerged online.
Howie, being the comedian that he is, gifted his "fandels" the below picture of himself and Simon last Wednesday night.
"I give you Simon Dun and Howie Joseph. What a good looking bunch," he wrote alongside the photo.
Hi FANdels,
Due to overwhelming demand, I give you Simon Dun and Howie Joseph.
What a good looking bunch. #AGT #Siwie pic.twitter.com/gSM3kwAuku— Howie Mandel (@howiemandel) August 14, 2019
In case the "Simon Dun and Howie Joseph" reference is lost on you, Howie was trying to parody a photo of Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph of the music duo Twenty One Pilots.
Clearly, Howie knows his audience, because the photo received a lot of strong reactions. Some good, some bad, some dramatically wishing they could "unsee" Howie and Simon's head cutouts on Josh and Tyler's bodies.
"I'm calling the authorities," -@morphtojosh
"I HATE THIS HOWIE PLEASE DELETE THIS IMMEDIATELY," -@NEDBYYOU
"I would like to unsee it," -@crankthatcarlys, via a meme
"tyler and josh who? i only know simon dun and howie joseph," - @BANDITOL1VE
"it's a YES from me," - @NedTychlorine
Of course, the post was meant to be nothing more than a harmless joke. After all, he and Simon are "good friends," both on and off camera.
"He's really a good guy and he's kind of got a really big heart that people don't talk about enough," Howie revealed to GoodHousekeeping.com last September. "At worst he's blatantly honest, so that sometimes gets misconstrued as mean. I don't think it's mean, I think he's honest."
Still, AGT fans have gotten upset with Simon quite a few times already in season 14, like when he interrupted 13-year-old singer Ansley Burns's first and second auditions and then didn't put her through to the quarterfinals (though, he did end up asking her back as a wildcard).
Time will tell if Simon and Howie make #AGT Twitter delighted or furious with their commentary throughout the rest of season 14, which comes to a close with the season finale on September 17 or 18. But no matter what, at least fans will forever have this picture to LOL over.
