Simon Cowell Out, Kenan Thompson In | Boise News
Description
Simon Cowell’s stepping away for a few weeks to recover from routine back surgery, paving the way for SNL legend Kenan Thompson to join Mel B, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara in the judges’ chair for the crucial quarterfinals. This isn’t his first rodeo with back issues — he had major surgery after a 2020 e-bike accident that could’ve been far worse. The show’s already embraced rotating guest judges like Nikki Glaser and Lele Pons, keeping things fresh while Simon heals. With Terry Crews still hosting, fans are eager to see how Thompson handles the high-stakes pressure as the competition heats up.
