America’s Got Talent fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the popular judge Sofia Vergara is set to return for season 1. The news came out as viewers expressed concern that Vergara might not return to the show following her absence from the spinoff AGT: All-Stars. However, an exclusive report reveals that Vergara has struck a verbal deal with NBC and Simon Cowell.


Sofia Vergara is Returning on AGT Season 18

AGT is the top entertainment show on US TV and a huge hit worldwide. Fans will no doubt be thrilled to hear that Vergara will be returning to the judging panel for season 18, which is set to begin this summer.

According to an insider, the network and Cowell both wanted Vergara back on the show, and the chemistry among the judges was too important to mess with. Vergara missed out on AGT: All-Stars due to a scheduling conflict as she was busy filming for the Netflix series Griselda during the AGT: All-Stars auditions.

There were concerns that Vergara might have been out of the show for good after her absence from AGT: All-Stars. However, it’s clear that the network and Cowell value her contribution and intend to maintain the successful dynamic of the judging panel.


Cowell also spoke about expressing his admiration for the AGT: All-Stars contestants, who are all now successful performers in their own right. He also stated that the show does not provide any cash prize for returning, and the contestants are competing only to win the crown. The judging panel for season 18 will consist of Vergara, Cowell, Howie Mandel, and Heidi Klum. Terry Crews will also be returning as the host of the show.

The Success of AGT: All Stars, Will It Impact Season 18 of The Main Show?

AGT: All-Stars was a huge success, and its impact on the upcoming season 18 of the main show is likely to be significant. AGT: All-Stars was a spin-off series that aired at the very start of 2023, and it featured some of the most popular and successful acts from previous seasons of AGT.

The spin-off series brought together some of the biggest names in the show’s history, including ventriloquist Terry Fator, singer Kodi Lee, and magician Dustin Tavella. These acts, along with others like dance group Light Balance Kids, comedian Mike E. Winfield, and singer Tom Ball, wowed audiences with their impressive performances and reminded fans of the incredible talent that has graced the AGT stage over the years.


One of the most significant impacts of AGT: All-Stars is that it created a lot of excitement and anticipation for the upcoming season 18 of the main show. The AGT: All Stars spin-off reminded fans of what made them fall in love with AGT, and now they are eagerly anticipating the new season, which will premiere on May 30, 2023.
