Heidi Ditches AGT 😮 Stern Still Snubbed

On Howard Stern's satellite radio show this week, he mentioned how Heidi Klum is being replaced by Mel B at the judges' table on "America's Got Talent" (AGT) which is sort of old news. 

I mean, Mel B has been a judge on some of the spin-off shows of AGT after she left as a permanent judge. So she's been buzzing around looking to come back permanently on the regular AGT show that airs during the summer.

However, Howard really didn't give the full report. He didn't say that Heidi quit AGT to go back to doing her Project Runway series. 

"NBC is making a change to its judges table for the upcoming 20th season of its summer juggernaut America’s Got Talent.  Heidi Klum, who has been on the show for 11 of the past 12 seasons, is leaving. ... The news of Klum’s exit follows the announcement last month that she would be returning to Project Runway, a show she initially hosted on Bravo from 2004 to 2017. The reality competition is back for a new 10-episode season in 2025 to air on Disney’s Freeform and stream on Disney+ and Hulu."

Mel B has been waiting for Simon to wave her in and return as a permanent judge on AGT and Howard's mad he is snubbed once again. As blogged about several times, once Howard was ousted from AGT, he was stalking Simon to get back as a guest judge and obviously, Simon said no.

Pinched and Pulled Back Mel B had major plastic surgery to appear
camera ready for her closeups on AGT.

Simon copies the Beth Fan Page's "Virulent Beth" pose on the AGT
red carpet. The 'Got Talent' shows were conceived and owned by
Simon Cowell's Syco Entertainment. It has spawned spin-offs in
over 69 countries. Howard's only spawned a bunch of useless radio
show tapes, a few failed attempts at a TV talk show, and a bunch of
unaired TV pilots that were rejected by the networks because
they were deemed unwatchable crap.

Stern Snubola Revisited

Howard Stern can't let it go that he was let go from AGT after its fourth year of broadcasting the show from New York to accomodate Howard and to see if it would affect ratings. It did, thus starting a four-year downward ratings spiral until the network moved the show back to Los Angeles to save it from the chopping block. The Beth Fan Page has blogged about all this numerous times in the past and you can plug in some search terms in the search bar at the footer of this blog to bring up those older blog entries. But Howard acted all mad again this week saying that Simon stole his judging job when no such thing occured. Simon only suggested Howard to NBC as a guest or part-time judge anyway, never full-time and that's the end of that story but Howard can't let it go. AGT was moved from LA to NYC and that's how Howard horned in on the show in the first place. The show was moved back to LA due to Hindenburg Howard tanking the ratings and the rest is history.

SiriusXM Superstar Andy Cohen Hosts

Another Town Hall

As Howard Stern runs and hides in his bunker waiting for a doc to show up to his basement cosmetic surgery center to bump up his Botox, Andy Cohen is front and center once again hosting a huge Town Hall. This time, it's to promote another installment of the movie Bridget Jones Diaries.

Rebranded

The Beth Fan Page has talked about this before, that Stern's boss Jennifer Witz was reportedly courting Russell Brand to have his own show on SiriusXM and he would eventually take the Stern spot with only Howard 101 airing his old stale reruns and not waste any more money producing new material.

Now, Witz's dream is getting closer and closer to reality since Russell Brand has just moved to Miami, Florida, according to recent reports. Of course everyone knows that SiriusXM has studios in Miami, Florida. Hint, hint, hint, Howard. Go ahead and stay the next five years per the contract you signed five years ago, but your replacement could be snapping at your arthritic heals.
