America's Got Talent

The 7th season of “America’s Got Talent” premiered last night and to no-one’s surprise, the show was all about new judge Howard Stern. But did the shock jock deliver the “edge” or just fill a void left by former judge, sock puppet, Piers Morgan?

Both. Let me explain.

After months of negotiation and rumors, Britney finally made it official and signed on to join Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid as a judge on Season 2 of "The X Factor." But while Spears was recently voted onto Victoria’s Secret’s 2012 “What Is Sexy?” List as “Sexiest Songstress”, not everyone thinks she’s quite up to the task of being a judge.

At a Thursday press conference in New York City, Howard Stern, a judge for NBC’s “America’s Got Talent’’, employed his signature

Late night radio host Howard Stern is in “serious negotiations” with NBC to become a judge on family friendly talent show, “America’s Got Talent.”

The shock-jock is going to Primetime television? I don’t think the FCC is prepared for this.

After Piers Morgan threw in the towel as a judge on the talent show, that left the judging spot next to Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel wide open.

Strangely enough this show likes to fill it’s judging panel with people who have a very little eye for talent other than being good at talking.

David Hasselhoff has been in and out of the hospital for the last year for alcohol poisoning, so it should come as no surprise that he finally quit his job as the host of America's Got Talent.

The Hoff can't barely keep up with his obligations for America's Got Talent, but he's reportedly going to start working on another project.

He said, “I am proud that I was part of making ‘America’s Got Talent’ the number one rated show for the past four summers.

“It’s been a rewarding experience and now I’m thrilled to be able to follow my dream to do my own TV show, which will be announced very shortly.”

A statement from the program's broadcasters, NBC, said: “David’s been an integral part of ‘America’s Got Talent’ and we are sad to see him go.”

A replacement hasn't been named yet, but there's a sea of hosts out there that can probably do a better job than him--and they won't show up to work drunk.

And while the Hoff may be staying mum about his new show, his daughter suggested that he's signing up for a new TV show on A+E. Hasselhoff’s daughter Hayley wrote on her twitter blog: “The Hasselhoffs signed the deal with A + E… Get ready for it.”
