Well, Piers said he is leaving AGT to focus on his CNN job. Is this a good move? Probably not since the ratings for his show are absolutely horrid.

Sorry to hear this. He is the only judge on the show that always tells it like it is. (My opinion of course).

Nah the show needs a cranky British guy.

Howie was great this past season.

Howie's tweet said his pranks might have pushed him over the edge.

He is an amazing interviewer but people don't have that attention span anymore- including me, oh well. I like him as judge too. You need a stuffy brit on these shows.

He was perfect for AGT, but I remember thinking how night-and-day different that role is from his host position on CNN. Good/bad career move? Only time will tell.

I guess it doesn't matter to me since I've given up on the show (people can't seem to vote for the most talented act)

Piers can't hold down a job. He was a judge on Britain's Got Talent before crossing the pond. David Hasselhoff switched places with him and the Brits complain he doesn't understand their culture.

Howard Stern in Talks to Judge 'America's Got Talent' - WSJ.com

Under the deal being discussed, Mr. Stern would earn about $15 million a year to join Howie Mandel and Sharon Osbourne on the judge's table. "America's Got Talent" is among the most popular shows on television during the summer, when it typically airs, drawing as many as 14 million viewers. Mr. Stern could not be reached for comment on Thursday.

Known for his outspoken, brash interview style and often lewd commentary, Mr. Stern would succeed Piers Morgan if the deal is finalized. Mr. Morgan said this week he was leaving the show after six years to focus on his CNN program "Piers Morgan Tonight" and covering the 2012 U.S. presidential election. "I've loved every single second, but discovered that juggling, to my surprise really is a bit more difficult than I thought," Mr. Morgan said during Wednesday night's episode.

I can see it now...

Stern: "Ms. Evancho, while I'm sure you may have talent in some uppity-snobby circles, the reason I buzzed you is because you're too young to strip and expose your bare-ass on stage. Come back when you grow-up, get some Double-D implants, and have talent."

I agree...nothing against Stern, but I don't think having him judge a family-friendly show like AGT is the right move. NBC should use the 15M as prize money to solicit the best talent in the land.

I think Howard would make a good judge, he would tone down the lewdness and would be a good replacement...

Yeah, but if Stern is going to tone down the lewdness, why pay Stern 15M? It's just a waste of money IMO.

P.S. NBC can hire me for 5M.

Maybe they will bring Hasselhoff back. I think this is a bad move by Piers Morgan as they may cancel his show after a season or two whereas AGT already has good ratings.
