So says the Parents Television Council about NBC's inevitably controversial hiring of Howard Stern as a judge on America's Got Talent, which, so far, is doing exactly what it was meant to do—create major buzz.

stern is officially a new judge on AGT!!! Confirmed! So stoked—welcome to the NBC family!" The Voice host Carson Daly tweeted today, one of thousands of positively charged posts about the network's big move.

But the PTC, which opposed the very idea of Stern becoming a prime-time regular, had no qualms about sticking it to NBC ASAP.

America may have talent, but it no longer has Piers Morgan as a judge.

The CNN talk-show host announced last month that he would not be sitting beside Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel when America's Got Talent returns for its seventh season next year.

So could bazillionaire Apprentice host Donald Trump, who thinks he's partially responsible for Lady Gaga's huge success, be stepping in to fill Morgan's seat on the show?

The Playboy Club was canceled, so what now?

Talk of Howard Stern coming to prime time, apparently.

The conservative media watchdog Parents Television Council is already up in arms over the very idea of the outspoken radio host joining America's Got Talent as a judge, calling it a move that "smacks of desperation" on NBC's part and would result in the "alienation of millions of viewers."

The shock jock's name was briefly linked to Idol when it needed a judge to replace Paula Abdul, it turns out that NBC is now talking to the controversial radio host about joining America's Got Talent as a judge, now that Piers Morgan is leaving.

Talk about a refreshing summer treat!

With two British judges, every good act on America's Got Talent was bound to be "brilliant" at some point.

But only one could win $1 million and a headlining show in Las Vegas, and that act was revealed on Wednesday's season finale.

After thousands of people/groups/animals/weirdos, etc. auditioned and were eliminated week after week, it came down to Landau Eugene Murphy Jr., Team iLuminate, Silhouettes and POPLYFE, all of whose fates were in the voters' hands following last night's performance finale.

When a germaphobe former prop comic-turned-talent-judge teases a cranky Englishman with a short tie and a silly first name, America's got a lot more than talent, it's got entertaining hijinks a'plenty!
