NBC announced today that Jerry Springer will take over as host of America's Got Talent from Regis Philbin. "I've been around some of America's most talented individuals on my talk show for the last 16 years, so I'll feel right at home hosting 'America's Got Talent,' said Springer. "I love the show and look forward to discovering the best performers from across the country." Executive Producer Simon Cowell had this to say, "I am absolutely thrilled that Jerry has agreed to host the next season of our show for a number of reasons, he is the perfect person for this show. I wish him (and he is going to need it!) the best of luck." I love Springer, so it will be great to see what he is going to do the with show! Regis was a great host, but I think Springer will be just as good if not better! Now if only they could get new Judges…hint hint hint.
