Kenan Thompson Steps In for Simon | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Kenan Thompson is stepping in as a guest judge on America’s Got Talent, filling Simon Cowell’s seat during the high-stakes quarterfinals airing September 1 — a role he pulled off before too, back when Simon was recovering from his infamous electric bike crash. With Simon taking a short break for a routine back procedure (and yes, this is a repeat of his six-year-old injury saga), Kenan brings his SNL-tested live TV chops to the panel alongside Howie, Sofía, and Mel B. It’s a perfect fit: the show needs a commanding presence, and Kenan’s got the charisma and experience to keep the energy soaring as acts fight for their shot at the finals.
