Get ready for the buzzers, folks. The landmark 20th season of "America's Got Talent" kicks off next week and a new (and returning) judge is set to join the show.
This year, returning judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and Sofía Vergara welcome back English singer, actress and TV personality Mel B, who rose to fame in the 1990s as "Scary Spice" in the pop group the Spice Girls.
Actor Terry Crews also returns as host for the NBC TV series offering amateur and often unknown performers a $1 million prize and Las Vegas performance.
Mel B will fill the slot of long-time show host Heidi Klum, who joined the group in 2013 and judged on Seasons 8-13. After a Season 14 hiatus, the German model returned to the NBC show for Seasons 15 through 19.
The former Spice Girls' member participated in the show's eighth season, when Sharon Osbourne departed "AGT." She also appeared on the "AGT" spinoffs "America's Got Talent: The Champions" and "AGT: Fantasy League" in 2019 and 2024.

Hoda Kotb reveals who she wants to replace her on 'Today' fourth hour
Hoda Kotb reveals who she wants to replace her on 'Today' fourth hour Show Caption Hide Caption Watch Hoda Kotb's 'Today' announcement, Jenna Bush Hager's response Hoda Kotb revealed that she's leaving the "Today" show in early 2025. Later in the morning, Jenna Bush Hager reacted on set. Hoda Kotb is revealing who she thinks should replace her on the fourth hour of the "Today" show. The former "Hoda and Jenna" cohost left the NBC morning franchise's main anchor desk and fourth hour in January to launch new wellness venture Joy 101, but she still has opinions to offer about who should sit next to Jenna Bush Hager. Kotb told "Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen that "anybody would be so lucky, but to me, the contenders are Savannah, I think she would be great; I think Justin Sylvester is amazing" in reference to the E! News host and frequent "Today" fourth hour guest. Hoda Kotb returns to host 'Today' with Jenna Bush Hager: What to know "Scarlett Johansson crushed it, she said it was her favorite job," Kotb added, although she and Cohen agreed that the Oscar winner is unlikely to join the show full-time. The mom of two continued by saying that "Las Culturistas" comedian "Matt Rogers is great" and "also our dear friend Sheinelle Jones, who is going through a horrible time, but I think she would be good." However, Kotb insisted that "I feel like it's whoever clicks great with Jenna." The NBC morning show's loyal fans have floated Jones as a replacement, but the third hour star has been absent for months during the health battle of her late husband, Uche Ojeh. On May 23, "Today" show anchors announced on air that Ojeh died from an aggressive form of brain cancer at 45. "With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our friend and 'Today' co-host Sheinelle Jones, has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma," Savannah Guthrie said on the "Today" show.
