Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) – Radio shock jock Howard Stern is near a deal with NBC to become a judge on the network’s reality competition show “America’s Got Talent.”

Under the deal, which is in negotiations, Stern would earn about $15 million a year. Joining co-judges Howie Mandel and Sharon Osbourne, he would take Piers Morgan’s seat at the judge’s table.

Morgan is steeping down to focus on his CNN evening talk show.

“America’s Got Talent” is among TV’s most popular show in the summer, when it typically airs.

Stern, known for his outspoken and bold interview style, and his frequent lewd commentaries, would continue to air his radio show, heard exclusively on Sirius XM Radio.

Stern, based in New York, may just be able to stay put. NBC is mulling moving the talent show, now shooting in Los Angeles, to the Big Apple.
