America’s Got Talent to add fourth judge

The NY Post reports that America’s Got Talent will have a fourth judge next season.

The show is moving to New York with the addition of Howard Stern as judge, and Simon Cowell thinks that adding a fourth judge — “a girl” — will make the show “younger” and “relevant”.

I’m all for this idea, but please don’t let it be Nicole Scherzinger (who may not be back on The X Factor). As soon as NBC finds a venue, I think I’ll try to watch the live shows every week if I can. I’m so excited.

The report:

From NY Post:

‘America’s Got Talent’ will undergo an extreme makeover — and will add a fourth judge to join Howard Stern, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel.

“I always like four-person panels because it leaves less room for error,” show creator Simon Cowell told The Post. “It also means you can have different skill-sets on there.”

With Stern joining the show last week, Cowell says he and NBC are looking to balance the judges’ table out with “somebody younger. A girl. Someone who will not be afraid of Sharon [Osbourne] and Howard and fight for a different type of act than they would.”

Cowell says he already has a short list of names and hopes to have the entire panel in place in the next four weeks.

Howard Stern will be a huge step in the right direction. I just cannot handle Howie Mandel or the host and his ridiculous manner of speech. But I'll give it a try with Stern. For sure. He'll be tamer but good as a judge. Hi Rickey. :)

I would think somebody connected to the theater or television, and based in NYC. Younger could mean mid 30's to mid 40's, considering the other three are on a high end of their 50's.

Don't be Nicole Sherzinger...she's already been annoying on DWTS and XF...please don't...

If Simon hires Nic-ho, then it's safe to say the phony has dirt on him. I never want to see that idiotic skank on any show again, and clearly many viewers feel the same.

Oh gosh nooo to Howard he is so vile and rude! no class yuck.. sorry.
