![]() “This girl is really, really special and that’s what I love about this show.”ĭespite conventional Hollywood wisdom, Cowell thinks some of the best acts around come from kids. “She’s only 12 or 13, but when you hear her sing - it’s one of the most amazing things you’ve ever heard,” he says. He cites at least one contestant who blew him away. ![]() I had been offered the job before and turned it down.”Ĭowell sounds like he has no regrets, especially because the work is worth it when the show stumbles across real talent. You have to be prepared and have a replacement. “Any producer has to anticipate a backup plan if one of your big stars is under a contract in which he can leave at any time he wants. “It was a bit of a non-issue,” says Cowell. Money from the Wishfits series will go to two children’s charities.Cowell is taking over the judge’s seat vacated by Howard Stern, who left the show at the end of last season. It was because of Eric that Simon recently lost a lot of weight, so that he could be around for years to come.Ĭowell and Eric have also teamed up for a series of children’s books based on a game they used to play, coming up with imaginary animals that are a cross between two real animals. In addition to dropping golden nuggets on television, and in the music industry, he also plays the role of Dad to his six-year-old son Eric. My gut feeling is that some of these WISHFITS actually exist…somewhere!Ī post shared by simoncowell on at 9:05am PST Two of the children’s charities I work closely with will benefit from profits of WISHFITS, and Simon PS. They shared our passion and enthusiasm from the moment we told them about WISHFITS. I am thrilled to be working with Hachette, an amazing publishing house. We loved the idea of thousands of creative people being part of the development of our idea. I then met with an amazing company called who have a global community of creators. She loved this idea so much she encouraged me to turn this into a book series. And how every evening the two of us would think of the most unlikely animal we would like to have as a pet. I told her one evening about some of the funny animals my son Eric and I would invent, starting with the Cog and the Dat. This idea was inspired 3 years ago by a very special friend of ours who runs a Children’s Hospice charity. To be able to write a series of books with my son Eric has been magical. The WISHFITS are magical, unusual and have evolved in a weird and wonderful way, combining two different species to form hybrid animals with very distinct characteristics! Some of Eric’s favourite WISHFITS include the DAT (dog/cat) the COG (cat/dog), the SNOG (snail/dog – the enthusiasm of a dog at the speed of a snail), the PEEP (pig/sheep) the CHUG (cheetah/slug – the slowest cat in the world), the HIPPOROO (hippo/kangaroo), the CHIMPANPOO (chimpanzee/poodle), the POLARBAT (polarbear/bat), the CROCOPUSS (crocodile/cat), the SHIGER (sheep/tiger – the most nervous cat in the world), the SPIKEY (spider/donkey) and many, many more. WISHFIT is a world where the most unusual animals exist. ![]() To begin with, we have announced a seven book deal with today. I would like to introduce to you #WISHFITS. I wanted to share something exciting my son Eric and I have been working on. In addition to the 15th Season of America’s Got Talent, he will also be releasing the 2nd Season of his British dance show, The Greatest Dancer, which will be airing on the BBC later in 2020. I wouldn’t be surprised if Simon Cowell’s dominance of reality-based television was far from over. Just being on the show has launched careers for many non-winners as well. There have been many memorable acts, and even if your favorite doesn’t win, that doesn’t mean you won’t hear from them again in the future. Some of the top talent to emerge from the AGT pipeline include Terry Fator and Darci Lynne Farmer, and Season 13 winner, magician Shin Lim went on to win AGT: Champions, where he went up against winners from all over the world, as well. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of talented acts that have auditioned over the years for their chance at the $1 million prize. America’s Got TalentĪmerica’s Got Talent is currently airing its 15th Season of the show and Simon Cowell continues to be at the helm. Shows like X-Factor and America’s Got Talent are different in that they allow people of all ages, with all different types of talents, to audition. These shows prove that there are many talented people out there, whether born or bred, and the world just can’t get enough. It’s great to have and join #AGT alongside (who’s done this show for 10 years, he made sure to remind us everyday) post shared by simoncowell on at 2:57pm PDT
