Kelly Clarkson to fill in for injured Simon Cowell on America's Got Talent

TVLine

Clarkson, whom Cowell helped discover on Season 1 of American Idol, said in a tongue-in-cheek statement she'll fill in for Cowell, who broke his back over the weekend in an electric bike accident. “My friend, Simon Cowell, is doing better now but was in an accident and won’t be able to make Tuesday and Wednesday’s live shows for AGT," she said. "But no worries America, someone far wiser, cooler, and hotter is taking his seat! The unbelievably amazing Kelly Clarkson. You’re welcome in advance!”
