“AGT” had its biggest total audience in five years (13.66 million) this week. But Howard was just doing it as a goof so it's all good.

tvbythenumbers.zap2it.comI'd do a goof for $15 million per season.

Except it wasn't a goof. Howard wanted to clean up his bad boy image. The money is obvious that anybody would take it.

Who cares, he's not doing it anymore, thank god.

There is a special brand of obsessed loser fan that studies these numbers like the Torah as they constantly talk about how Howard is irrelevant, not realizing that constantly talking about him proves his relevance.

Still arguing this argument I see. At least now you have to admit your argument about how the NBC executives love Howard and happy about the ratings he brings in is really an argument about how incredibly stupid the people who run NBC are and not how many people Howard brought to AGT.
And when did a few dozen people talking about a subject on a subreddit make anyone relevant?

Apparently you have a short term memory.
You defended Howard's rating on SFN all the time.

Lol I see the Dawg Shed losers are out, taking offense to my accurate assessment of their pathetic nature. They obsess over Howard more than people who still like him. Sad!

I literally forgot the show existed once he left and stopped talking about it, lol.

he must fuckin' hate Simon Cowell.

Why? They chose to keep Howard over signing Simon Cowell.

I still think that is questionable.
And if they did, that just shows why NBC has mostly crappy shows that no one watches. The best thing to happen to AGT was Howard not coming back. Ratings were up and costs were down.

doesn't Simon really own the show? Simon has more money than Howard.

The Sony leaks showed that Simon tried to push out Howard after XFactor bombed on Fox. He was turned down. He got the job when Howard left on his own.

There is no proof that NBC turned him down. We do not know if Simon always tried to replace him last year or this year. The email never specified that.
And again, it only proves that NBC is run by a bunch of idiots if they did turn Simon down because this season proved the smart move was to dump Howard and replace him with Simon.

and that too

Howard was hired to be the " Bad Boy " he always claimed he was. He was supposed to be a " Simon". Then he made a little boy cry and he showed it was all an act.....something his radio fans already knew. Howie was more brutal to the contestants than Hamptons Howchie.

will jan bring them numbers in?

Cause you know, Howard always does things for fun and never tries to dominate whatever it is... Chess, Radio, Transitioning a retarded horse to look as much like an ugly Christy Brinkley as possible, Painting, GTD (he bought their number one guru), His gay affair with Ralphie Gaykes...

there's a large portion of the country to can't stand him and probably didn't watch.

Don't underestimate the draw of Grace Vanderwall.

Howard was America's judge and beloved by ten year olds the world over. And his farewell segment, that black n white vignette they played when Howard got fired, it made me cry. You see, Howard was stuck in his limo and traffic was so heavy that he decided to walk without his security detail. Being a man of the people he said hi to taxi drivers, Asians, and even blacks! He joked with cops and ate a hot dog at a local stand. It broke my heart, and that day I realized, Howard is a total homo.
Twist!
