'America's Got Talent' Judges: Howard Stern, Howie Mandel & Others Happier Without Sharon Osbourne? [VIDEO]
America's Got Talent and former judge Sharon Osbourne may be happier without each other, according to new reports.
Osbourne recently spoke with current America's Got Talent judge Howard Stern about her time on the show and revealed that she received less money than the other judges.
"Do you know what I got? The least paid on the f---ing panel," after Stern asked her about her paycheck on the show. She then revealed that she made $70,000 per episode, which she said added up to "f--- all" yearly.

She then complained about fellow judge Howie Mandel getting $100,000 per episode in addition to his own plane, while she got "an American Airlines f---ing ticket!"
With such hostility towards her fellow judges, Osbourne likely did not have a pleasant final year with America's Got Talent. She has since moved on to judge The X Factor in England, for which she is allegedly paid more.

Current AGT judge Mel B spoke with The Hollywood Reporter this week about how well she and her fellow judges get along.
"Between the four of us, we respect each other. Our different experiences in our career complement the way we operate the talent and the advice and comments we give," Mel B explained. "We bring something different to the table, which each doesn't have. It works."
She then noted: "We actually genuinely like each other. We hang out after work and sometimes go to Stern's place after dinner. We're friends."
America's Got Talent is currently on the hunt for new talent ahead of this summer's season 9. All four judges from season 8 have returned for season 9, including Mel B, Stern, Mandel and Heidi Klum.
