A Timeline Of Heidi Klum’s ‘AGT’ Absence
March 10, 2020: Heidi leaves the set.
While filming auditions for Season 15, Heidi arrived to set and felt sick. She recently told Kelly Clarkson that she had a fever and a cough, as well as body aches. Heidi told someone immediately, and was examined by a medic. She was then sent home. The judges continued for the day without Heidi on the panel, telling the audience Heidi may have gotten food poisoning.
March 11, 2020: Eric Stonestreet fills in.
Heidi missed another day of shooting, and actor Eric Stonestreet filled in for her on the judges’ panel, alongside his Modern Family co-star Sofia Vergara. Heidi had already hit her Golden Buzzer for Cristina Rae before leaving the show, so Eric didn’t end up sending anyone straight through to the live shows.
