NEW YORK (AP) – Simon Cowell is heading back in front of the cameras, replacing Howard Stern as a judge on NBC’s series “America’s Got Talent.” NBC announced Thursday that Cowell, one of the show’s producers and creators of the format, will start next season. The show has remained one of summertime’s most popular programs even as ratings for other reality shows have faded. Cowell’s caustic commentary on Fox’s “American Idol” is what launched him into U.S. stardom. The show will be in its 11th season next summer. The format has been replicated widely, now airing in 183 countries.
