Howard Stern has already brought a great deal of controversy to "America's Got Talent" without the show even airing yet -- and someone with plenty of experience on the NBC broadcast is already predicting big things for the radio host.
Speaking in a new interview with Sirius XM, Jerry Springer (who hosted the show before Nick Cannon came on board) expressed his admiration for Howard -- and for the brave move by NBC to put him on the air:
"There couldn't be a better pick ... I think he's perfect for it. Clearly, he's going to have an opinion. He's not going to say everyone's wonderful. He'll bring his own fanbase to the show ... [when it comes to toning himself down,] he knows that he's dealing with a Middle America show, so he will work within the bounds of that."
Cannon has cautioned Howard that there will be a good many long days during production, but Springer says that the host will be ready for it thanks to some of the work he has put in over the years.
Do you agree with Jerry's assessment here?
