Andrew Eccles/NBC(NEW YORK) — The eighth season of America’s Got Talent kicks off Tuesday night on NBC. Two new judges — Spice Girl Mel B and supermodel Heidi Klum –will join returning stars Howard Stern and Howie Mandel this time around. The new hosts bring different experiences to the show than their predecessors Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne.
For Klum, the decision to join the show was a logical one.
At a recent press event, she said, “I’ve been…in the entertainment industry now for 20 years, I’ve traveled the world, I feel like I’ve seen things, not only in America but all over the world, and I’m very interested in theater and music, being married to a musician for eight years, like I’ve seen a lot of things.”
Meanwhile, Mel B explained, “You get singers, you get animal acts, you get magicians. You get absolutely everything across the board. And that’s why this show is so much fun to judge.”
As before, Nick Cannon will host the show, which airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. Eastern time on NBC.
