Howie Mandel might be entering his eighth decade, but he is certainly not interested in being told he looks good 'for his age'. The comedian turned a routine morning show appearance into a masterclass in awkwardness after taking issue with a compliment from host Kelly Ripa.
During a recent segment on 'Live with Kelly and Mark', the discussion turned to Mandel's milestone 70th birthday. While most stars bask in the glow of audience applause and flattering remarks, the 'America's Got Talent' judge appeared visibly irked by Ripa's praise, which landed like a backhanded compliment.
