Simon Cowell has missed the last three weeks of America’s Got Talent because he underwent back surgery related to his 2020 electric bike accident.
Kenan Thompson filled in the first week. Heidi Klum sat in his seat the following week. And no one stepped in for him last week.
This week is the finale. So we have been wondering if Cowell will be well enough to make an appearance. Sadly, it looks like he will not make it.
According to The Sun, the 66-year-old judge will be missing Britain’s Got Talent’s auditions, which are scheduled to be filmed in October, because he needs more time to recover.
A source told the paper: “Simon is of course gutted to be missing the auditions, but it’s important that he rests up now so he can make a full recovery.
“It was a routine op that went well, and he knows the team will find a fun guest judge to spice up filming and keep the audience on their toes.”
So will we see Simon? We will find out Tuesday night during the first night of the two-night finale.
Simon Cowell is on medical leave from America’s Got Talent because he needed to get routine back surgery due to his electric bike accident in 2020.
Therefore, the talent show needs replacements while he is recovering. Today, they announced that Kenan Thompson will be sitting in his seat on Tuesday.
Hopefully, if he does a good job, Cowell will bring him back as a replacement next season. It would be nice to have an American-born judge for the first time since Julianne Hough and Gabrielle Union.
America’s Got Talent started its live shows last week, and now we are learning that Simon Cowell will be missing from the show for the next few weeks.
According to TMZ, he will be undergoing a routine surgery related to his 2020 back injury from an electric bike accident.
It is unclear how much time the creator of the show and head judge will need off, and who will replace him. I am sure we will learn more tomorrow when the talent competition series goes live.
Who do you think should replace him and sit next to Howie Mandel, Mel B, and Sofia Vergara? I think they should bring back Heidi Klum, who departed AGT to return to Project Runway.
Before Simon Cowell was judging contestants on shows like America’s Got Talent, he was a contestant on Sale of the Century. The 31-year-old was quite brilliant on the 1991 episode of the game show.
Simon Cowell was a guest on The Jennifer Hudson Show today, and her team had the perfect song for him to walk through the Spirit Tunnel to. What was it? The Greatest Show from The Greatest Showman!
While he is a showman who can pick the best acts for his circus, he is like P.T. Barnum and can’t do what they do! But the Ringmaster can still enjoy getting the attention from the crowd, and he did.
He told his old friend from his American Idol days, Jennifer Hudson, “The best way of coming on a show, seriously, I have ever done in my life.” And he has done a lot of shows through the decades.
Then he asked her if he could steal the idea for America’s Got Talent. She had one requirement for that to happen. What is it? That her people do it. And with that, they shook on it.
Will they be there? We will find out during AGT’s season finale episodes tomorrow and Wednesday! It is not like they have to travel far to get there. Warner Bros is across the street from Universal Studios, where the latter goes live!
