Show Caption

Season 20 of "America's Got Talent" premieres on May 26, bringing with it several new auditioning acts and a returning "spicy" superstar host.

During the landmark 20th season, returning judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel and Sofía Vergara welcome back superstar Mel B. The former Spice Girls' member participated in the show's eighth season, when Sharon Osbourne departed the talent competition.

The move comes on the heels of 2024 host Heidi Klum exiting the show. The German model joined the show in 2013 and judged on Seasons 8-13. After a Season 14 hiatus, Klum returned to the NBC show for Seasons 15 through 19.

Actor Terry Crews also returns as host for the NBC TV series that offers amateur and often unknown performers a chance at a $1 million prize and Las Vegas performance.
