Howie Mandel said the surgery was successful and expects Simon Cowell to return before the season finale, with Kenan Thompson filling in temporarily.
- America's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell, 66, successfully underwent planned back surgery recently, according to fellow judge Howie Mandel, 70, who confirmed the procedure addressed lingering spinal complications.
