Comedian Erica Rhodes Had Sofia Vergara Cracking Up in Her AGT Audition

AGT act Erica Rhodes’ hilarious and surprisingly personal jokes had the Judges laughing along the entire performance.

When it comes to capturing ridiculous moments of modern relationships, Erica Rhodes is on it. You may know the stand-up comedian and actress from her comedy special “La Vie En Rhodes,” her guest appearances on Modern Family — and now her audition on America’s Got Talent, which was one for the books.

Sofia Vergara proclaimed Rhodes the best comedy Act she’s ever seen on AGT. Her performance, a mix of dating ambivalence and righteous rage, was an extension of her comic work over the past 12 years — not only hilarious but also surprisingly relatable. As Simon Cowell said, “It really makes me laugh.”

Drawing on her personal life as an outspoken woman, a good date, and someone who “appreciates a thrift-store frock,” Rhodes admitted to the Judges she just got her heart broken for the 15th time — by the same guy. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 15 times, wow. I’m impressed, what else you got?”

But it was her insights into her romance with a “guy with money” that got the biggest laughs — even from Cowell. “The problem is I found out they don’t always give you the money,” she joked.

“He would show me things he had. One time he showed me a house he had in the woods. And he did a big gesture like, look at my house!” she recalled, appearing completely non-plussed at the memory.

“He’s like, ‘Wow, I thought you’d have a bigger reaction,’ and I was like, ‘Are you giving me the house? I’ll react if you’re giving me the house,’” she said to howls from the audience, adding that she could “look at houses that aren’t mine all day long. I can Google the mansion section and be like, ‘Ooooh, look at all the houses that aren’t mine.’”

Sofia Vergara called Erica Rhodes her “favorite comedian” on AGT
