Heidi Klum Exits AGT for Project Runway Return
1 Jun
Summary
- Heidi Klum will not return for the upcoming 21st season of America's Got Talent.
- She is returning to Project Runway after an eight-year hiatus from the show.
- Klum's departure from AGT may be due to business decisions regarding her salary.
Heidi Klum will not be a judge for the upcoming Season 21 of America's Got Talent, concluding a significant run on the competition series. This decision marks a change after her return to the show in Season 15, having previously judged from Season 8 to Season 13. Klum's departure appears to coincide with her return to Project Runway, a fashion competition she helped anchor for many years.
Klum initially joined America's Got Talent in 2013 and departed after Season 13, only to return for Seasons 15 through 19. While her reasons for leaving AGT for Season 21 are not definitively stated, speculation points to business decisions, potentially linked to her considerable salary. She also continues her work on Germany's Next Top Model.
With Klum's exit, the AGT judging panel for Season 21 includes returning judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, and Mel B, with Terry Crews resuming hosting duties. Meanwhile, Project Runway has officially returned, with Klum back as head judge alongside Nina García and Law Roach, and Christian Siriano mentoring.
