Additionally, Heidi Klum, who was a judge on AGT for six seasons, from 2013-2018, is coming back. They are being joined by returning judges Simon Cowell, who is AGT's creator and executive producer, and Howie Mandel, as well as host Terry Crews.
`I'm so happy to join my new family on AGT,` said Vergara, who will be making AGT history. `This is a new and exciting next chapter for me and I'm extremely proud to be the first Latin judge on the show. I can't wait to watch all the talent and have fun with all you guys!`
Last summer, America's Got Talent averaged a 2.1 rating in adults 18-49 and 11.9 million viewers overall in Live+7 Nielsens. The 14th cycle of AGT once again easily ranked as the summer's #1 most-watched entertainment series, towering by 4.4 million viewers over the next most-watched entertainment program.
