Howard Stern the New Judge on America's Got Talent

[dfergie]

Howard Stern announced on his radio show this morning that he would be the new judge on America's Got Talent replacing Piers Morgan...

It's interesting that the show is moving to NY to accomodate Stern.

 

[dfergie]

He will travel some though which Robin pointed out yesterday morning...

Stern is a frigging annoying jerk. Well that's another show I will not be watching.

 

[lparsons21]

Well, yeah he is an annoying jerk. But then so is Piers Morgan!

It has always been interesting to me that many, maybe even most, of the real acts that perform on the broadcasts are much better than the panel and most of the 'professional' acts they bring in on the later shows...

 

[Stargazer]

This is going to get rather interesting.

They are going to bring in a fourth judge, also.

Bring back Hasselhoff!

He's like watching a train wreck, you just can't turn your eyes away from him. That's the only thing that would get me to watch in next season.

Timer deleted after last season since this show is only concerned about which "singing act" wins and not the most talented act winning. Offhand, adding Stern to the panel of judges only confirms that I made the right choice. Conversely, I betcha see a lot more strippers this year.

Isn't that earlier than in years past? I thought the show generally didn't start until June. I could be remembering wrong.

NBC is floundering. It sounds like they are trying to hit May sweeps.

Yep, the starting date and number of episodes have been increasing over the years. To be honest, it's gotta be one of their few shows (two shows perhaps?) that draws over 10M viewers each episode. Actually, it's not atypical for NBC to broadcast two audition shows per week until the endless rounds of semi-finals where they have a performance show followed by a results show. I think Howie 2 (as opposed to Howie Mandel) will add another 2M viewers each week. We shall see...

BTW,

Here is last season's AGT thread along with some earlier ratings that were posted:

Season 2 (2007) - Terry Fator (ventriloquist/singer/impersonator) - 12 million viewers
Season 3 (2008) - Neal Boyd (opera singer) - 12.5 million viewers
Season 4 (2009) - Kevin Skinner (singer/chicken catcher) - 13.8 million viewers
Season 5 (2010) - Michael Grimm (singer/musician) - viewership down due to summertime competition

I'm going to set timers for the first time for this show, I hated Piers and think this show will be great with Howard...
