Wed Sep 18 02:49:15 UTC 2024: ## Heidi Klum Shines, Simon Cowell Suffers in “America’s Got Talent” Prank
**LOS ANGELES** – “America’s Got Talent” Season 19 finale week saw a hilarious prank orchestrated by comedian David Alan Grier and Howie Mandel, leaving judges Heidi Klum, Simon Cowell, and Sofia Vergara in fits of laughter – or at least trying to keep a straight face.
The prank involved Grier pretending to be a director, forcing the judges to film ridiculous promotional videos for local news stations. While Vergara and Klum managed to hide their frustration, Cowell’s patience wore thin as the “promos” grew increasingly absurd.
The highlight of the prank was Klum, the supermodel, striking a pose while a massive fan blew the other judges out of frame. The image captured the essence of the prank, showcasing Klum’s grace and Cowell’s exasperated expression perfectly.
However, the prank came at a price. The judges were reportedly forced to film these promos after a long night of live performances, leaving Cowell with a look of “good sport” exhaustion.
Despite the prank, “America’s Got Talent” is gearing up for its finale, with the final performances already airing. Viewers can vote for their favorite contestants, including Richard Goodall, Dee Dee Simon, Solange Kardinaly, and Learnmore Jonasi, until Wednesday, September 18 at 7 a.m. ET on NBC. The finale results episode will air on Tuesday, September 24.
