The staff isn’t the only person with high praise for the songstress, as “AGT” judge Cowell will serve as the show’s second host. The history between the pair runs deep, as record executives helped pave Clarkson’s path to success by discovering her at a talent show.

Cowell said:
“Where we were really lucky with Kelly was that we were able to find someone who not only had a great voice, but she also had this amazing sense of humor, personality, charisma.”
