She won’t be repeating that duty in back-to-back weeks, however, with NBC announcing that SNL star Kenan Thompson will be filling in for Simon Cowell during this week’s episodes.
Luckily, NBC is also home to The Voice and The Kelly Clarkson Show, so the Kelly Clarkson herself subbed in for her fellow American Idol vet during last week’s episode.
Because Simon Cowell was injured just as America’s Got Talent was set to go into the live episodes, the show’s producers didn’t have very much time at all to figure out a workaround.
Let’s see if Cowell will be as positive about Thompson’s episodes as he was about Clarkson’s.
