America’s Got Talent judge Howie Mandel, 65, was at a Starbucks in Woodland Hills, CA, when he lost consciousness and collapsed.
TMZ reports, Mandel was rushed to a nearby hospital by paramedics. He underwent blood tests for suspected low blood sugar.
Earlier in the week, Mandel posted a video on social media from a hospital bed sharing the news that he had just had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy.
“Colonoscopy,” he captioned the clip on Instagram. “Recovery audition.”

In the video, Mandel showed off his post-procedure outfit and interacted with a neighboring patient who recognized his voice and “tried to audition [for America’s Got Talent] as he was waking up.”
“I just came out of my colonoscopy — the doctors here were nice enough to let me wear a one-piece … with just a flap in the back,” Mandel joked.
