AceShowbiz - Howard Stern talked about his experience on "America's Got Talent" after Simon Cowell announced he would replace him on the show. "I was doing that 'America's Got Talent' for four years. I had to quit. It was enough," he said during a visit to "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
"I thought it would be funny to go on a network television show. You know, here I am, Fart Man, and I would be on 'America's Got Talent,' and suddenly it would be interesting to see me juxtapose with a family show," he explained. "And that was fun. But it was torturous. I hated every bit of it."
"I thought, 'Well, I'm going on network television. What I'm going to do is dress up.' I went and bought $100,00 worth of wardrobe from John Varvatos. I really did. I invested in my wardrobe, I got a person to do my hair," he said. "I worked out, I decided to diet down to get thin."
"And then I turn on the TV each week and I wanna throw up," he added to Jimmy Kimmel. "Because I'm putting in all of this work for my look, to look good, and after all of that work, I still look like a nightmare. I just didn't like it."
The shock jock then said of fellow judge Howie Mandel, "Here's a guy, he has no hair, he's in his 60s, and he's better looking than I am after my $100,000 wardrobe. So the whole thing was rather depressing."
