Howie Mandel and Heidi Klum are once again proving that their senses of humor are as sharp as their judging skills. On the set of America's Got Talent, the dynamic duo dropped a funny video that's making the rounds on social media. And yes, it involves a fart joke.

In the clip, Mandel and Klum are up to their usual antics. Mandel pretends to eat Klum, who’s dancing in the background. He acts like he’s holding her in his hands, licking his lips as if he's savoring the moment. Then, with a big theatrical gulp, he swallows her whole, makes some exaggerated chewing motions and then pretends to pass gas.

Klum makes her grand reappearance, stumbling back into view from behind Mandel’s backside. The whole thing is set to Chappell Roan’s catchy “Hot To Go!” and it’s clear the judges had a blast filming it.

Mandel and Klum are no stranger to playful antics on the show. Recently, during Jelly Boy The Clown’s performance, things got a bit messy. After the clown swallowed a sword and showed it off with some peanut butter on the end, Klum was so grossed out she ended up sitting on Howie’s lap.

Discussing the incident with The U.S. Sun, Howie joked about needing to explain the situation to his wife.

“Let’s just say I was a happily married man. I hope I'm still a happily married man because it was done on national TV.” He added, “I have some explaining to do to my wife, but I was at work, right? And I didn’t initiate it.”

Alongside Klum and Mandel, the AGT judging panel includes Sofía Vergara and Simon Cowell, with Terry Crews hosting the show.

Season 19 of America’s Got Talent is currently airing on NBC.
