NBC has just named Heidi Klum as the fourth judge on America’s Got Talent. She’ll be joining Mel B, Howie Mandel and Howard Stern. This will be the first time the show has featured four judges.
Heidi previously hosted, judged and executive produced Project Runway. She also hosts Germany’s Next Top Model. She’ll now be bringing her judging talents to NBC. Because judging talent is a thing.
“America’s Got some serious Talent! I’m really excited to join the panel of AGT to see it all — from the ridiculous to the fantastic!” said Klum. “I love the surprise element of the show and not knowing what we’ll see next and who will wow us. I’m also looking forward to spending time with my fellow judges – Howard Stern, Howie Mandel and Mel B!”
Excited 2 join @HowardStern @HowieMandel @OfficialMelB & @nickcannon on @nbcagt as new judge! Will be so fun! #AGT http://t.co/z03nQQdwwf

This is great news for contestants. When their soul is utterly crushed by the judges, part of them will at least be thrilled they got Heidi Klum to laugh. After all, isn’t hearing that heavenly sound the most important thing?
