The last remaining original America’s Got Talent cast member is gone, as Piers Morgan has decided to leave America’s Got Talent so that he can focus on his work at CNN and the 2012 election coverage.
“I’ve been a judge since the show began six years ago, and I’ve loved every single second,” Morgan said. “I’ve discovered that juggling, to my surprise, really is a bit more difficult than I thought.”
As we’ve seen from the debacle that is now American Idol, judges can have a big impact on this show. Hopefully the producers can pick another judge like Piers, one who’s tough but fair. No fluff judges who are just there to be nice please.
