America’s Got Talent fans were left gasping—and laughing—after a jaw-dropping moment between Sofia Vergara and Simon Cowell during a wild segment on the show! In a prank-filled episode full of surprises, Sofia took aim at Simon… literally!
As part of a backstage gag set up by the AGT team, Sofia was handed a harmless (but loud) T-shirt cannon, allegedly meant to fire merch into the crowd. But the target? Simon Cowell himself! After some playful coaxing, Sofia pulled the trigger—BLAM!—and launched a soft shirt straight at Simon, catching him completely off guard.
The audience erupted in laughter while Simon stood frozen in disbelief, then burst out laughing. “I didn’t see that coming at all,” he admitted, brushing off the prank. “I should’ve known better!”
Host Terry Crews couldn’t stop laughing, calling it one of the best moments of the season. The entire judging panel, including Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel, joined in the fun, joking that Simon might think twice before teasing Sofia again.
The prank quickly went viral online, with fans praising Sofia’s comedic timing and Simon’s good sport attitude. It was the perfect light-hearted moment in an otherwise intense competition—and proved once again that anything can happen on live TV!
AGT continues to deliver not just talent, but unforgettable moments. Who’s safe when Sofia’s got a T-shirt cannon in hand?
