America’s Got Talent 2010 will premiere its fifth season on June 1 at 8/7c. Then, America’s Got Talent 2010 will move to Wednesdays on June 2 at 9/8c. The Hoff has left his AGT judges seat and was replaced by new judge Howie Mandel, who joins Sharon Osbourne, Piers Morgan. Nick Cannon will still be the host of America’s Got Talent 2010.
After seeing all the talented people who have auditioned for AGT 2010, I’m really excited for this season. I always forget that the show doesn’t start until summer. I guess with all the talk on this site about the America’s Got Talent 2010 auditions, I feel like the show should be just around the corner.
What is Simon Cowell thinking? Here’s some stories floating around the internet that Howie Mandel will be replacing The Hoff as a judge on America’s Got Talent. This comes right after David Hasselhoff leaves America’s Got Talent. Check out the announcement by eOnline:
Howie Mandel just scored a new deal…with America’s Got Talent.
The 54-year-old former Deal or No Deal host will sit at the judges table with Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne for the show’s fifth season, E! News has confirmed.
I guess there’s the potential that they could be wrong. In fact, I kind of hope they are wrong. Ok, Howie might be pretty funny at the judges table. I can give him a chance, but I just don’t see how he qualifies to judge these types of acts. Plus, it will be really interesting to see how he interacts with Sharon and Piers. I guess I can see Howie as the host of the show, but not sure about him as a judge.
Either way, I don’t expect one judge to make a difference in the ratings for America’s Got Talent 2010 anyway. People watch for the talent more than the judges I think.
In some of the best news I’ve gotten tonight, I’m happy to say that David Hasselhoff will no longer be a judge on America’s Got Talent. I’m sure there could be worse, but David Hasselhoff just felt far too fake for me on the show. He seemed to offer little insight as a judge. Here’s the news as it was reported by E! online:
After four seasons on America’s Got Talent, David Hasselhoff is leaving the judges’ table, his rep confirms to E! News. “I am proud that I was part of making America’s Got Talent, the No. 1 rated show for the past four summers,” Hasselhoff said in a statement.
“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.”
I know that MANY people won’t share my happiness. Many people loved having the Hoff as a judge on America’s Got Talent. To those people I offer my condolences. However, I’ll be VERY happy to see a freshness on the judging panel of America’s Got Talent. It had really grown quite stale this past season. Far too predictable and not very entertaining.
I’d still LOVE to have Simon Cowell join as a judge. He’s absolutely BRILLIANT as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent. However, I’m quite sure that Simon can’t be a judge on America’s Got Talent because of his contract as a judge on American Idol. I’m not sure who else is available.
I’d also love to have the blonde girl from Britain’s Got Talent replace Sharon on the judges panel as well. I’m not sure her name, but she was quite good. Yes, I guess you can say I’m a big fan of the way the judges worked on Britain’s Got Talent.
Best of luck to the Hoff and we’ll be watching to see what his next TV show will be.

Poor David Hasselhoff has done it again. If the British tabloids are to be believed, he got rip roaring drunk at Simon Cowell’s 50th birthday bash and continued on this junket for 2 more days until his assistant called for a doctor. It was said the assistant was afraid David would die from alcohol poisoning.
David was allegedly so drunk, he took a swing at his assistant, missed and hit the doctor. The article went on to say he had been so loaded that he wet the bed and ruined 2 mattresses. The hotel got him to a hospital and he was in rehab for 2 days.
David, David, oh David. He is very well liked by most of the AGT audiences and contestants, including myself, but I just wish he’d wake up and come to his senses before he kills himself. I can’t help but wonder what would happen to him if he did something to bad enough to get fired from judging AGT.
Since he clearly can’t handle his drinking, he should have given this party a miss. Seriously. Sometimes on the show the look in his eyes reminds me of what Paula looked like on American Idol from time to time. Does anyone out there think David will ever get into rehab and stay sober?
As promised, I knew I had to find a video of David Johnson’s tribute to David Hasselhoff on America’s Got Talent. I don’t think that anyone has made me laugh more on America’s Got Talent. I wonder what he’ll follow up with in Las Vegas.
More America’s Got Talent video and commentary coming tomorrow.
Time to run down some random thoughts from tonight’s episode of America’s Got Talent.
Overall Impression
I was a little disappointed. I think that the producers are trying a little to hard to produce the show instead of making the talent and stories the show. Things like the strobe light buzzers that just annoy. Leave those out. They also focused on far too many crappy acts. They should know better and start us off with a killer act that makes the rest of the show not as important and locks us in.
Favorite Act of the Night – The Eriam Sisters
By far my favorite act of the night was the Eriam Sisters. That trio of sisters gave me the chills. I’m sure I wasn’t just cold, because I live in Las Vegas. No doubt the youngest sister has the most talent, but Piers was right that they can all sing. I can’t wait to see how America’s Got Talent with some makeup, costumes and production will make some incredible talent even better. I loved that they could sing, but that they could own the stage as well. Turns out I actually liked the Eriam Sisters a few weeks ago too. Very nice and made watching the show worthwhile for me.
Since they were my favorite, here’s a video of the Eriam Sisters trio who sang “I Want You Back” by the Jackson 5 on America’s Got Talent Premiere
Voices of Glory
Couldn’t have been a better back story. Felt a little bit fabricated by Piers, but I’ll forgive them for that. I previously dubbed Voices of Glory the most overhyped act of America’s Got Talent 2009. It’s not their fault, but I still think that’s true. They were good, but not great in my book. Actually, I should clarify that the little sister could be great. She’s better than the 2 brothers. It was touching to watch and we need more children like them in the world.
David Johnson – Hasselhoff Song
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard during America’s Got Talent. It was incredibly funny. I’m so glad that Piers put him through. I’m just not sure what type of follow up act he could perform in Las Vegas. I have a feeling we won’t see any performance by him during the Las Vegas shows.
FootworkKINGz
I hadn’t ever seen Footworking before, but it was fun to watch. I’d love to see something like this live. It doesn’t make for the best television in my book though. I’d rather just watch dancing.
Black Fire Percussion (drum line)
This was cool. About time one of these drum lines comes on. This is another that is better in person where you can really feel the beat. I’m surprised Nick Cannon didn’t pull out some line about his role on that wonderful movie Drumline.
Delusional Talent
Can these people really think they were talented? That impressionist must have been delusional. Had he never listened to himself before? Maybe he’s right that it takes good hearing to do impressions and he doesn’t have good hearing.
Nick Cannon as Host
Sadly, the talent was so poor on tonight’s episode, that Nick Cannon was actually the most talented person on tonight’s show. He got the most laughs and I like his unconventional way of interacting with the guests and judges. Nice switch NBC.
I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m not a real big fan of the Hoff. As long as he chooses not to sing, I’ll deal with his comments. He does have an incredible fan base. That aside here’s some interviews of the Hoff talking about America’s Got Talent.
Hoff Talks about some lame glasses and more importantly says he doesn’t know about their back story. I think that might be true for the Hoff. I don’t think it was true for Simon on Britain’s Got Talent (see Susan Boyle)
Watching the following video you can understand perfectly how David Hasselhoff became so successful. The following is a montage of all David Hasselhoff’s incredible insights and wisdom from America’s Got Talent’s final top 20 episode.
The crazy thing is that David Hasselhoff really does have almost a cult following. I must admit I enjoyed him on Baywatch too. Well, at least when I noticed him past all of the girls in bathing suits.
