Sharon Osbourne on AGT: 'They Haven't Asked Me Back'
TVGuide.com reports that AMERICA'S GOT TALENT judge Sharon Osbourne has not yet been asked back for the next season of the NBC talent competition. In response to recent reports that she would not return to the show, the talk show host told US Weekly, "They've askEd Howard [Stern] back, they haven't asked me back."
On July 26, Osbourne's fellow judge Howard Stern hinted on his radio show that there may be an upcoming "shake-up" on the show's judging panel. In response, Osbourne tweeted, "My darling @HowardStern, money is not the reason I'm not returning to @nbcagt, it's because..."
While Osbourne did not finish her comment, she later qualified her remarks saying that money was not a factor in her potential exit from the show. "I just didn't like the fact that it got out that it was because of money. It's not because of money," she told reporters.
Asked whether she would return if producers invited her back, Osbourne replied, "Six years is a long time to be on any show. I love what the show does, I love the people I work with. But I would have to think about me. I have to think about what I want to do. I don't know [if I'd return]."
Osbourne joined the judging team of America's Got Talent judge for the second season in 2007.
