NEXT YEAR'S FRONTRUNNER? FARTMAN: Howard Stern has
officially announced that he's joining America's Got Talent as a judge, replacing Piers Morgan. Earlier reports indicated that this would also mean live shows would move from LA to New York for production to accommodate Stern's desires, and I wouldn't be shocked to see the show held for the fall, rather than airing in its traditional summer slot, to take advantage of the publicity.
I'm a long-time listener and Stern fan. As someone on Gawker said yesterday, "I'm tired of defending Howard Stern. I'll just say this: be prepared to be pleasantly surprised." I know everyone thinks he's going to comment on T&A and ask exploitative questions of the contestants but I think most people will be surprised by what he brings to the show.
