Kenan Thompson Joins AGT Judges | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Kenan Thompson is stepping in as a judge on America’s Got Talent this week, filling Simon Cowell’s spot while he recovers from back surgery—his absence due to an August 2020 injury that required immediate attention. Though Cowell’s expected back soon, the show keeps rolling with guest judges like Nikki Glaser and Emma Bunton already this season. Thompson, a SNL veteran and star of Good Burger and his own sitcom, brings comedic flair to the panel alongside Mel B, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara as the competition heats up—and the Golden Buzzer remains active for acts destined for the finals. The winner still takes home $1 million on September 23rd, with audience votes deciding most acts.
