You’re right but I don’t think you really need that. Harry Connick Jr. is genuinely a funny guy. That would be a better reason to tune in , IMHO, than a nasty smartass like Cowell. I also think HC’s music credentials trump everybody else they’re considering.
You are certainly correct there. And, I also agree about smart ass Cowell. I am sick of meanness on TV. I love to watch Americas got talent but lately I am finding that the English, Irish or whatever guy is starting to get uglier. Critique is one thing tearing down ones talent is another. They trow in some loonies in the competition to spice it up but the serious talent shouldn't be subjected to merciless comments.
