America's Got Talent Aims For Normal in Season 16 Return

NBC's megahit America's Got Talent saw more than its fair share of tumult last year, with the production forced to improvise its way through the early days of the pandemic and then Simon Cowell breaking his back midway through the season. Tonight's Season 16 premiere sees Cowell back at the judges table alongside Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara, with plans for a much more normal season — complete with in-person auditions and the return of its live studio audience later this summer.
