The very good news is that Cowell is apparently on the mend from breaking his back, and America’s Got Talent brought in two fantastic guest judges to fill the fourth chair in his absence so far.
Spoilers ahead for the August 19 episode of America’s Got Talent on NBC.
America’s Got Talent has had to roll with the punches in the back half of Season 15, first due to the health and safety restrictions that meant some pretty big changes to production to the serious injury that meant Simon Cowell would have to miss some episodes as judge.
That said, Kelly Clarkson and Kenan Thompson’s appearances on AGT after Cowell’s injury leave me thinking that the show doesn’t actually need a regular fourth judge.
