WITH SEASON 20 OF AMERICA'S GOT TALENT ABOUT TO LAUNCH, THE TV ICON REFLECTS ON HIS SUCCESS AND HOW HIS SON 'SAVED ME'
Simon Cowell still vividly recalls watching talent competition shows on television while growing up in the U.K. “I loved them,” he says. “The kind of acts I remember were those really wacky acts, where it just used to crack me up.” So it’s no surprise that years later, after establishing himself as a hitmaker with American Idol, Cowell, 65, jumped at the chance to create a program that his younger self would’ve loved. “Once I'd done Idol and enjoyed it, I thought, ‘It’s time to revamp that kind of show that has singers along with other acts, but how do we make it big and loud and exciting and funny?’” he says of creating America’s Got Talent. “It was a light-bulb moment, and it evolved into what it is now.”
20 Seasons In "It is the best job in the world," Cowell says of being on AGT with Howie Mandel, Terry Crews, Sofía Vergara and Mel B.
Doting Dad "If I wasn't where I am in my life today, it would feel quite empty," Cowell (with Silverman and Eric in September 2024) says of fatherhood.AGT premiered on NBC in June 2006, just one month after Cowell wrapped up his fifth season on

Operation Epic Fury: What to Know About the U.S. and Israeli Attack on Iran
The skies over Tehran, along with more than 130 cities across Iran, have filled with smoke and echoed with explosions since Feb. 28 as the nation has come under attack from ongoing U.S.-Israeli air strikes. In the opening hours of the bombings, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 86, and more than 40 senior officials were killed. More than 550 deaths have been reported across the nation—along with six U.S. service members who died in a retaliatory strike in Kuwait—in a campaign that has significantly damaged critical Iranian infrastructure, military bases and air defenses. Two days after the start of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump addressed his objectives in a March 2 speech, saying he wanted to destroy Iran’s missile capabilities, its ability to produce new missiles and its navy, adding, “We’re ensuring that the world’s number one sponsor of terror can never obtain a nuclear weapon.” In follow-up comments, Trump did not rule out sending U.S. troops into the country “if necessary,” adding that the campaign, which has spawned retaliatory attacks by Iran in at least nine nations across the Middle East, is projected to last four to five weeks, but could go “far longer.” It remains to be seen if the military operation—described by UN Secretary-General António Guterres as a “grave threat to international peace and security”—will topple the regime or expand into a regional war that could spark a large-scale refugee crisis and global economic disruption due to rising oil prices.
