Sharon Osbourne (born October 9, 1952) served as a judge on Seasons 2-7 of America's Got Talent.

Judging Character[]

Sharon is often seen as the kindest judge, as she often thanks the act for coming if an act gets rejected during the auditions. Despite this she will get angry if one insults her husband (Ozzy Osbourne), even proceeding to use fairly strong curse words. She mentions her husband frequently, and she is usually the last one to buzz an act in Season 2, Season 3, and Season 4. However, by the time Howie Mandel joined the panel, Sharon became the second toughest judge on the panel, often being the second to buzz an act after Piers Morgan and later Howard Stern.
