Howard Stern to return to 'America's Got Talent'

NEW YORK, Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Radio star Howard Stern announced Tuesday he plans to return as a judge on "America's Got Talent" for a third season next year.

"It started out as a goof. Now it's becoming a job," Stern said on his SiriusXM radio show.

"I am very excited to be going back to 'America's Got Talent.' I will go back [for] one more season," he said. "I really, really did struggle with this decision because ... I've been working a long time. I really wanted to decide if this was going to take away too much ... free time. Did I really still enjoy doing it? Did I have something to say? Is it something I should be involved with still? I decided I needed a personal life, but that big black hole in me that demands attention ... it won."
