'AGT' Battle: Howard Stern vs. Howie Mandel
July 12, 2012
Television
“America’s Got Talent” judges Howard Stern and Howie Mandel are definitely not agreeing on Big Barry and his novelty act.
Mandel has been supporting Barry, saying on Wednesday’s show, “He would sell more tickets than anybody else!” Stern, however, said, “There's a ton of people with more talent than Big Barry.”
“Extra’s” AJ Calloway tried to play mediator for the two judges, who were still arguing over the act.
Stern told Mandel, “Respectfully, you were wrong, and you can apologize to all the acts you didn't put through.” Howie responded, “No apologies, I'm right.”
Disagreements aside, Stern and Mandel love what they’re doing. Mandel said, “We're getting along; we love each other,” to which Howard added, “We admire each other, and we respect each other professionally; we just have a disagreement.”

It's time for America Got Talent to get a new judge or two as quartet after what has transpired on Howie Mandel vs. Howard Stern feuding. Replace Mandel w/ Jennifer Lopez (J-Lo) and either Steve Tyler or Randy Jackson to bring American Idol flavor to the show. It would make the rating be pretty high for the summer reality show attracting lots of audiences in Vegas and on TV for sure.
I love Howie, BUT Big Barry going through over Andrew De Leon and Flo Jo's daughter was a travesty, and really hurts the credibility of the show..in my humble opinion.
Howard Stern helped put SANJAYA through multiple times on American Idol, when more DESERVING talents got voted off. Howard comes off as a HUGE HYPOCRITE.
I agree with Stern. Howie Mandel needs to be replaced. Would enough people pay $80 a ticket to pack out a Vegas show to see Big Barry? No
Howard Stern is absolutely correct. As a faithful viewer, I was annoyed that I had to waste my time watching Big Barry. It was a disgrace that other great talent was NOT put thru because of him. I am so disgusted, that I may not continue to watch.
Howie, get a grip! I think I heard one actual note from Big Barry in all his appearances. He is so annoying!
I totally agree with Howard Stern. It frustrated me when they put through totally losers and let in someone like Big Barry, who is a Big Loser. I think even Barry is amazed that he made it. Howard Stern was right on the money by what he said, and about the stupid guys in costumes with the big heads was another example of bad acts getting thru. And Flo Jo's daughter was a wonderful singer. Other people too, should of went in before Big Barry. I love Howie Mandel but dude get a grip. Thank you for a chance to speak my mind.
