After starring on "America's Got Talent" for four seasons, Howard Stern left the show to focus on other parts of his career that were beginning to take off.
"I'm going through my own career evaluation right now... In all seriousness, I've told you, I'm just to f***ing busy...something's got to give," Stern revealed on his radio show at the time, per E! News. "NBC's already asked me what my intentions are for next year, whether or not I'd come back, I kind of have told them I think this is my last season. Not I think, this is my last season," Stern confirmed.
Stern continued to explain that he had to leave "America's Got Talent" because he simply couldn't do it all in his career. At the time, the then-judge was hosting his notorious Sirius XM radio show, and had received an offer on TV — that wasn't with "America's Got Talent," per the New York Post. While Stern loved his time on the talent show, the new opportunity excited him more and he simply realized he couldn't do it all. "I've been on there for four years. It's been fun. This year is the 10th anniversary, I think that's enough," Stern said. But while, at the time, the radio personality maintained there was no bad blood regarding his decision to leave, years later, he revealed there was more that led him to leave the show.
