In an attempt to generate some buzz earlier this year, the NBC creative geniuses made a video of the top 10 moments from Howard's three prior seasons on the amazing show.
At least Howard was showcased in this top 10 video, as he was left out of David Letterman's final top 10 list earlier this month.
The AGT video had some odd clips of Howard dancing with other men, kissing Howie Mandel and pulling a card out of some magician's ass - what a wild man!
It's a shame that the clip couldn't have shown more of Judge Stern's antics on the show, as well as promoting it - here are a few other classic moments from Howard's time on AGT:
Samba Audition
In addition to dancing with the shirtless men in the AGT promotional clip, Howard nearly lowered himself onto the face of a young contestant during a samba sequence in the Chicago auditions a few years ago - Howie Mandel had to offer himself up as bait to get Stern away from the young kid (starts around 1:50)
Robin, Everyone Loves it When I Pretend to Like Men
Howard kissed Howie Mandel in the AGT promo video, laid down on top of Nick Cannon in an AGT teaser video and recently broke out the lame schtick again when he tried to kiss David Letterman in his final appearance.
He also danced the salsa with Howie (around the 3:40 mark) in the video below:
However, the show better make sure to keep women from getting too close to Howard - in 2013 he was scrambling to get away when that yucky girl Heidi Klum tried to kiss him, both on the Today show (at around the 2:50 mark), as well as on Extra.
More Great Acts
Howard claimed that he was on AGT to help find great acts and talent. Apparently this included the Olate Dogs (which won the first season with America's judge).
Howard also got a chance to judge "talent" like a gentleman whose skill was getting kicked in the groin as well as a squirrel on water skis:
Family-Friendly Howard
In 2015, there are still some articles which describe Howard as outrageous, apparently written by folks who no longer listen to the show and think that Howard is the same guy who wished cancer on people and thought that gay people could be "cured" by reading his buddy Dr. John Sarno's book.
These days, the former shock jock is instead drawing pretty paintings of flowers:

Some people who are suspicious may think that Howard is merely tracing these wonderful drawings, as the masterpiece shown above looks very similar to a stock picture found online.Howard also uses AGT to attempt to create an evolved public image and just a few days ago, Mr. Outrageous was seen on the kids channel Sprout with some chicken puppet character (at around the 2:48 mark):
Hopefully for Howard the AGT ratings will improve for the next show, as the NBA finals don't start until later in the week. At least with the AGT ratings bar set so low from last season, the PR team at NBC will have an easier time spinning any bad AGT ratings in 2015 and Howard can create more classic moments for next year's AGT promo video.
