Kenan Thompson Joins 'America's Got Talent' as Guest Judge

SNL star Kenan Thompson will temporarily join the 'America's Got Talent' judging panel following Simon Cowell's departure for routine back surgery.

Cowell is expected to be away from the show for several weeks, with Thompson stepping in to maintain continuity during the live performance rounds.

The production team confirmed that the transition will not affect the current season's schedule, with Thompson's first appearance set for the upcoming episode.
