Talent Don't Got Piers?
Right now the biggest suspense about tonight's America's Got Talent finale isn't whether the Human Jukebox's ventriloquism prowess can floor the beatboxing Butterscotch. Nope, it's whether a dinged-up Piers Morgan will be able to go own with the show.
The British judge's appearance is a game-time decision after he busted some ribs in a weekend Segway mishap, an NBC rep said Tuesday.
"It's still up in the air at this point," Morgan, 42, told the New York Post, which first reported his Segway spill.
The former tabloid journalist was tooling around the Santa Monica Pier on Sunday when he failed to negotiate a curve.
"I broke two, possibly three ribs and I'm in quite a bit of pain," Morgan told the newspaper. "But I'm doing to try to do my best to be a part of it."
Host Jerry Springer and fellow judges Sharon Osbourne and David Hasselhoff will be on hand for the two-hour Talent swan song, which will see the final four wannabes face off on last time, each paired with a certified star.
Beatboxing singer Antoinette "Butterscotch" Clinton will team with teen reggae sensation Sean Kingston; ventriloquist Terry Fator will go dummy to dummy with the Muppets; teenage country songbird Julienne Irwin will duet with Nashville's Taylor Swift; and reggae singer Cas Haley will jam with UB40.
Among the other "surprises" producers have in store: a performance by the Hoff and encores from Talent's other top 10 acts.
The winner, selected by a nationwide vote, will receive a million-dollar check and the title of "most talented person in American," succeeding last year's champ, big-piped tween titan Bianca Taylor Ryan.
