Howard Stern slams America's Got Talent successor Simon Cowell over Gabrielle Union controversy

Variety

Stern has been feuding with Cowell since 2014 after the Sony email hack scandal that revealed that the America's Got Talent creator had written an email to NBC urging the network to fire Stern and replace him with Cowell. This morning on his SiriusXM radio show, Stern didn't hold back in going after Cowell in wake of the controversy over the firing of Hough and Gabrielle Union. “How is it that Simon Cowell has orchestrated this?” said Stern, who served as an AGT judge from 2012 to 2015, according to Variety. “He sets it up that the men stay, no matter how ugly they are, no matter how old they are, no matter how fat they are, no matter how talentless they are,” Stern said, later adding that it’s “obvious” that AGT continuously switches out female judges for “hotter chicks and younger chicks.” ALSO: Jay Leno declines to address his cut Korean AGT dog-eating joked when asked by TMZ.
