‘America’s Got Talent’ 2015 will once again have Howard Stern as judge

Despite us thinking for most of the past couple of years that it could be his last year as a judge, Howard Stern still continues to find a way to return to “America’s Got Talent” time and time again.

In a new statement posted today on his Facebook page, the man otherwise known as “America’s Judge” made it clear that he is going to be back for a little more craziness moving into the new year, as he has to film auditions and everything else:

“I decided that a life without ‘AGT’ is not worth living … America needs a caring, compassionate and wise judge and who am I to deny the people what they want? It would be selfish of me to walk away.”

We have no problem with Howard coming back. While we’re not entirely sure that he is the best judge we’ve ever seen, he is still easily in the top third of them. He knows his role, he gives opinions, and sometimes he finds ways to mix it up and be funny. Plus, this is clearly a case of him just wanting to do it more so than him having to. The man has enough money to never work another day in his life.

There is no word on the rest of the judging panel, which includes Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Mel B. The only other person we’d be concerned about exiting for now is the former Spice Girl, who also has on her plate the British version of “The X Factor.” That is a whole lot of TV to do in a short amount of time, and she’ll have to make a decision here probably before she will for the ITV series.
