Who better to fill in for the iconic judge?

The Grammy winning singer turned Daytime Emmy winning talk-show host Kelly Clarkson proves to be the perfect choice to fill in for Simon Cowell as a judge on America's Got Talent after he suffered a back injury.


Clarkson has been sharpening her judging skills recently as a coach on The Voice and expanding her skill-set on her popular talk-show The Kelly Clarkson Show. Now, the singer/ host will fill in for the man who once judged her on American Idol.

Cowell will be sitting out to recuperate for the Tuesday and Wednesday episodes of America's Got Talent this week with Clarkson joining fellow judges Howie Mandell, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara.
