How do Tom Sandoval and Howie Mandel know each other?
Sandoval and Mandel met at a mutual friend's wedding, the podcast explained of their connection.
"The first time we met ... Kimmie Bader, who works with me and has worked with me for years and years and years, she's a family friend, she's head of development for my production company—when she and her husband got married, the first time I met you was at their wedding," Mandel said to Sandoval.
