Rumors have been flying for a while now over who will replace Piers Morgan on 'America's Got Talent' and now we finally have our answer. NBC just made the official announcement yesterday that radio legend Howard Stern will be the new judge on the talent show.

The show is even making some geographical changes to make things easier for Howard Stern. The show has been based in L.A. since its start, but will be moving to New York city since that is where Stern needs to be for his morning radio program on Sirius/XM radio. Howard will reportedly be raking in 20 million dollars per season for the new gig.

There has already been some backlash from parents about the new judge. Being that Howard Stern is well known for his (let's call it) vulgarity, some disagree with the choice to bring him on as part of a family show. I personally think NBC made a good choice, I like Howard Stern and I hope he does well.
