Now, AGT fans can stop wondering, as a new video confirms Cowell returning for Season 16.
Cowell was facing a long recovery back when he first injured his back in August 2020, and AGT had to use a series of guest hosts to finish out Season 15.
The most recent season of America’s Got Talent ran into some significant obstacles before making history with champion Brandon Leake, with production significantly changing due to the pandemic and judge Simon Cowell breaking his back.
Cowell’s career since raised the question of his future at the NBC show.
