Looks like Mandel quit? Howard wanted his own show, maybe he has it by becoming the senior judge? Maybe Howie knows the show has run it's course and this will be the last season? By this time last year AGT ads were flooding TV. This year? :

to be fair the show doesn't start airing until May, there was a SuperBowl ad, but not a flood

But it does seem odd that there has been no tmz type scoops of possible judges no money spent for Super Bowl commercial promoting new judges and very little talk about agt from Howard compared to last time. They must have the judges lined up by now wouldn't you think?

Howard has been remarkably quiet about agt....is it possible that John Malone "suggested" that he tone it down?

That must be it. It really became unbearable to listen, to the show, when he would go on about it. I would think he has been told to tone it down.

nope
Stern laying low while they bury Mandel is a shallow grave in Jersey.
talking AGT does nothing for Stern now.....it will be coming soon when new judges are named.

I found it odd that AGT made a public statement saying they were NOT considering Wiggy's buddy Rosie O'Donnell as a judge after she claimed they were talking to her. There have been all kinds of rumors floating around but she's the only one they've officially denied. Wonder what the real story was. Was that a message for Wiggy to back off and stop trying to influence their decisions? It was definitely a slap at Rosie, you'd think Howard would have been mad about that but I don't think he ever mentioned it.

[Dead Air Dave]

Stabs two people who have been there for thss for the last 20yrs in the back.

And all they get is a stupid candle.

Scummy move.

Howard doesn't have that kind of juice. He'd be on his way out too, if he didn't sign a 2-year deal.

He maybe could have done it before it was proven he was ratings poison, but not now that the results are in.

And why would he want Mandel gone? He's no threat to Howard; he was just about in the fetal position during his last Stern appearance.

At most AGT is looking to go bargain-basement cheap with the other judges to try to recover from this disaster.

It's the Howard Stern Financial Vortex, that's all.

Nothing to add to this logic other then the sooner AGT dies the better.

Howard complained about Howie several times last year. He was pissed when Howie supported acts (like "Big Barry") that he disliked and said that Howie took up too much of the limited time the judges had to give their opinions. Of course, Wiggy completely contradicted himself later by saying he loves Howie and doesn't understand why people think there's a feud going on. Despite his claims that he doesn't want to control the show or make it all about him, it's clear Howard would prefer to work with someone who was more willing to go along with his opinions and allow him to hog the spotlight.

It is simple.
-Year #7 was an unadulterated ratings failure. Stern not only chased people away...he chased the key demo away!
-Stern had a 2 year deal = FIRE everyone else and try to get 2 (or 3) new judges to save the show!

the Wig Whisperer has spoken.

[dgray610]

I can't wait for Joan Rivers and Mark McGrath to join the judging panel.

Yep. Just like everything else he gets involved in.

Fire sharon and howie and then when its brought up claim that he 'had nothing to do with it' and vaguely blame 'the execs at NBC'

Notice how during the offseason he drilled home the 'I have nothing to do with the decisions at AGT and I love it' line about once a week

Bullshit. He was just setting up plausible deniability so that when the hammer dropped he could look innocent.

He's done this move a thousand times.

BTW to the others....In TV they let you quit when they FIRE you.....
