America's Got Talent is throwing things back to Howard Stern for its new season. The NBC reality competition series, which will be entering its 10th season this year, has asked the radio host to rejoin the judges panel. This isn't the first time at the rodeo for Howard, who has been with the series since he joined in 2012 for Season 7. Also expected to join him for the new season are fellow returning judges Howie Mandel, Melanie Brown, and Heidi Klum.

According to Stern's statement, which he posted on his Facebook account, he says he's happy to be returning because he knows it's what America truly wants.

"I decided that a life without AGT is not worth living," the star jokingly said on his Facebook page. "America needs a caring, compassionate and wise judge, and who am I to deny the people what they want? It would be selfish of me to walk away."

And it seems that not only will America be happy that the funny man is returning to the judge's seat, but NBC's execs as well. NBC President of Alternative and Late Night Programming Paul Telegdy talked about excitement for Stern's continuation with the series in a statement via The Wrap.

"Howard's wit and character bring an incomparable humor and insight to America's Got Talent," Telegdy explained. "We are thrilled to have him return."

Season 9 concluded with illusionist Mat Franco taking home the title, and it also marked the first time in the show's history that a magician won.
