For the unversed, filming for the season started in Pasadena last week and pictures from the set are already going viral. It has also been reported that some of the coveted golden buzzers have already been pressed because the judges were so impressed with some of the early acts of the auditions.
“It’s brilliant that we can celebrate 20 years,” Cowell, who is not only one of the judges but also as executive producer of the show, told the portal, “It’s always been about the contestants and without them we wouldn’t have a show. This gives me a chance to thank everyone who’s ever auditioned.”
