AGT started with actor and musician Craig Robinson, 51, sitting at a piano on the main stage.

He welcomed everyone to the show before he started to play A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton.

The host of the show, Terry Crews, 55, then appeared in the crowd while singing along to the song.

Terry is well known for his role in the 2004 movie White Chicks where his character infamously sings the song.

While he was gaining the attention of the audience, viewers at home couldn't help but notice that Simon wasn't sitting at the judge's panel.

Simon quietly snuck back to his seat while Terry and Craig bantered on the stage.

When the camera finally went back to the panel, Simon was sitting in his chair, flushed, sweating, and fanning himself.

In the end, he missed the entire beginning of the show for unknown reasons.

WE WANNA KNOW

Fans on X, formerly known as Twitter, immediately started asking where the judge was.

Some asked: "Um Where's Simon?" and "Where's Simon?"

A third said: "Simon does not look well. Last night, his head kinda looked... lopsided."

Another said: "Simon was a little late getting to the judge's table there."

Someone else said: "[Simon] came in part way through the opening. So what is Simon's malfunction? The really good ones are up for the next stage. Suck it up, Simon!!!"

Others were asking if Simon was okay.

DROP THE HABIT

AGT fans took to Reddit to comment on a habit that they want the judges to get rid of during the live shows.

"Judges interrupting acts with their opinions and X's during the Live shows when it is up to the public to decide who advances," the original poster shared.

"Why do they try to influence the vote?"

Other fans chimed in and agreed that they wanted the judges to stop that.

"I agree. I find it rude. Especially when the crowd boos too. It's rude," said one Reddit user.

"Guess they just want to show that they are not completely useless in the live shows and that they do deserve the millions they get for being there," one fan replied.

The original poster replied to them, saying: "But if they were chosen to perform they should at least get the respect of not being interrupted during the performance."
