America’s Got Talent
Shock jock Howard Stern made his presence known on the NBC series alongside veteran judges Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel when it debuted in May, and as recent audition episodes have proved, he isn’t pulling any punches. “I’m going to be a strict judge,” Stern — who famously made a 7-year-old rapper cry on stage — explains. “I don’t want to go buzzer-crazy, but I’ve got to stick to my guns. We’ve got to find the best talent.” (Mondays and Tuesdays, NBC)
