There has been a lot of chatter over the past couple of days that Rosie O’Donnell may replace Sharon Osbourne at the judging table of NBC’s America’s Got Talent. “I am very interested in doing America’s Got Talent with Howard Stern and I am talking to them,” she was quoted as saying two days ago, triggering a slew of stories that the former talk show host may have been hand-picked by returning AGT judge Stern to join the show. Well, that is news to the network. “NBC is not in talks with Rosie O’Donnell for America’s Got Talent and has no future plans for her to be a judge,” a spokesperson for the network said. O’Donnell will still appear on NBC but in a different role. “She will be playing herself on an upcoming episode of Smash when Bombshell opens on Broadway,” the spokesperson said.

I wonder if she’d find a way to work in her 911 theory into AGT?
Please make this happen. Since her and Stern have reconciled, their chemistry is awesome. Anyone whose heard her on his radio show knows how great this would be.
Howard Stern was picked as a judge because of an unfortunate belief that he was still a hot button controversial figure when that ship sailed the second he went on sat radio years ago.
In what universe is Rosie considered anything worth watching on television as judge, entertainer..etc. in 2012 that would help that show have better ratings? Get out of echo chamber.
Stern is still a controversial figure and he saved AGT last season. A Stern/ Rosie ticket would be great TV.
You hit it on he nose….stern/rosie ticket….Oh yes its will be the best things that could happen….Rosie is very smart,talent,and very good ,and tell the truth…Please NBC.let show you can pick good judges….Try One season…If its don,t work..the do what you have to do..dennis
They brought in a polarizing judge last season and ratings dropped 18%.
Bring in a second, even more polarizing, judge next season and guess what happens to show?
