Cowell recently broke his back in a biking incident.
For the second straight week, Simon Cowell will not be able to work the America’s Got Talent live shows.
Kelly Clarkson took over in week 1…while this week sees the longest-running SNL cast member in history step up to the stage.

Keenan Thompson will help push more acts into the AGT finale next month.
This week in an interview with Today, co-judge Howie Mandel said he could see Cowell returning by the finale:
“He broke his back in four places, he had a six-hour surgery where parts of his back were fused. They put a rod in his back. And I heard, it’s been more than a day now, he’s already been up on his feet and walking and I wouldn’t count him out for the live shows yet and I would imagine, and if I know anything about Simon, that there may be a Simon sighting before the end of the season.”
