- America's Got Talent has had a huge increase in social chatter year-over-year after adding Howard Stern.
- Data shows his addition caused guys to tune in to the show during the first few episodes, but then stopped watching at such a high clip.
- Overall social increase was 123%, with the only underperforming weeks when AGT was going up against NBA and awards shows.
