Howie Mandel is reflecting on a scary experience.
The America's Got Talent judge recently shared the moment he found his wife Terry Mandel in a pool of her blood in their hotel room after a recent night of drinking while on vacation in Las Vegas.
"We partied too much," Howie explained on Live with Kelly and Mark June 17. "In the middle of the night, she got up and I don't know where she was headed, but she headed into the wall. She fell and hit the wainscoting."
"She hit that and as she went down, she slipped, hit that eye, fell on the floor and broke her cheek," he continued. "I heard 'Bang!' and then 'Ah!' and I woke up and I went, 'Where are you?' and she went, 'I don't know!'"
The 68-year-old shared a photo of Terry with a gash on her forehead and severe bruising surrounding it, along with a laceration on her left eye.
"I wake up, I turn on the light and look around the bed and she's in the corner, face down," Howie recalled. "I didn't know she cut her head, but blood is pooling. Snapped is on TV, blood is pooling out and I freaked out. I picked her up. I put her on the bed. There's blood everywhere. I went and grabbed all the towels and all the towels are covered with blood. She's going, ‘Get me ice! Get me ice!'"
When the Deal or No Deal host couldn't find ice, he returned with cold soda cans to place on her head. He called the front desk in a panic, asking staff to call 911, but security first came up to inspect the situation before calling for medical help.
"I saw her head, and you could actually see her skull," he explained. "It opened up. I freaked."
He also admitted he was worried the scene might insinuate he had caused the mishap.
"I see people taking pictures of the blood on the floor, the cans and everything," he said before joking, "If someone would be beat up in that room, it would be me. I am the most annoying person in the world. My wife is a saint."
After the freak accident, Howie took his wife of 44 years to the hospital. And he stressed that since that harrowing moment, she's made a full recovery.
"She is absolutely perfect," he said. "There is not a scar. She is beautiful."
