America's Got Talent Season 12 Added Laverne Cox as Guest Judge

The roster of guest judges for America's Got Talent season 12 is growing.

 NBC's announced that DJ Khaled and Chris Hardwick would be stopping by the summer's hottest reality series to help the AGT judges decide which acts will be moving on in the competition, our team revealed that Orange Is the New Black star Laverne Cox will be bringing a bit of her fierceness to the judges table, as well. The fourth and final guest judge still remains a mystery.

Guest judge rounds will begin on NBC in mid-July  to the beginning of August. Laverne will appear in only one episode. Golden Buzzer, which allows the judges to send one act straight through to the live shows, will also be in play.

While the newest judging line-up of Simon Cowell, Mel B, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel will remain as it where for the new season, America's Got Talent will welcome a new master of ceremonies after Nick Cannon's heart breaking announcement that he and the show were parting ways back in February. Replacing him is the first female host of the show ever, Tyra Banks.

"When I was a little girl, I have been obsessed with grandiose acts and performers which appears to be impossible possible. I love how AGT brings that feeling into everyone's home, capturing the best of people who come out and give it their all to make those big, fierce dreams come true," Tyra said "I look forward to connecting with the dreamers, having fun and giving hugs and words of encouragement when needed. And maybe I will get one or two performers for the audience!"
