-My next guest is a supermodel and Emmy-winning host
and one of the judges on "America's got talent,"
which airs Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. on NBC.
Also, she's a good friend of our show.
Here is Heidi Klum, ladies and gentlemen!
[ Cheers and applause ] ♪♪
Oh, my goodness!
Oh, mwah, mwah, mwah!
Oh, gorgeous! -Mwah!
-Beautiful. -Hi, Jimmy!
-It is so great to see you,
and thank you so much for coming back on the show.
-Ah, thanks for having me.
I wish I was there in the studio with you.
And I miss New York so much. -I know.
The crowd is missing you, too. So we'll wait for you.
[ Cheers and applause ] We'll wait for you.
Whenever you're ready. -Hi, guys.
-We'd love to have you on.
Heidi, you know, I wanted to ask you something,
because you sparked a little controversy recently.
-I did? -Yeah.
People are posting them cooking a lot on the socials,
and it's all good,
but then you did something that was a faux pas.
People freaked out.
You fried spaghetti. -Yeah.
-You made -- -Yeah.
-Listen. People are gasping. -Yeah.
And I love Italy so much.
And when I was posting this, I was thinking,
"They will never let me back into Italy ever again."
You know?
But, so, the funny thing is -- Or I don't know if it is funny,
but, like, we fry spaghetti in Germany.
Like, this is something my mom always used to do,
and I just thought maybe it's because
it's a leftover thing.
You know, you don't throw out the spaghetti.
You put it in the frying pan.
We put an egg over everything, every leftover.
Just throw an egg in it, and it'll be great again.
Then you mix it up again.
So, we fry them until they are, like, nice and crispy,
put the egg in it, and then you put ketchup on it.
Like, straight-up Heinz.
So, then, my husband, turns out --
You know, I just met my husband like three years ago.
-Yeah. -He's doing the same thing.
So I was like, "Oh, my gosh.
I thought that was something just that maybe my mom does."
But he does it, too.
So I guess all the Germans or most Germans must be doing this.
And you guys should try it, because, honestly,
when I first came to America and I was listening to
peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches, I was like,
"Are you kidding me?"
And now I am obsessed with them. I love them.
So don't be dissing my spaghetti -- my fried spaghetti.
-Alright, fried spaghetti in honor of you, Heidi.
I want to get to "AGT," but, first,
I do want to say Season 2, "Making the Cut,"
which I love -- I love that you did that.
Season 2, I would say this one,
because you had to shoot it during a pandemic --
-It was extra special.
-In a weird way, I want to say that it was a little bit --
People got a little more creative.
-It just shows you, when you have creative people,
you can actually be creative even here in, like,
a black room, for example, you know?
We had to make it work because we wanted to really put
another amazing, second season out there for everyone to see.
-Yeah, and people need it now more than ever.
We need entertainment, so thank you for doing that.
I appreciate that.
-And we also need more than sweatpants,
because we're over those.
-Yeah. We have to do that, as well.
Do you think the fashion changes your judging
when you're on "America's Got Talent"?
Like, because you're a supermodel,
do you go like, "Oh, I like this act better than that act" or
"I like that because the visual is better"?
-No, it always depends on who comes onto the stage.
I mean, I've had singers before.
I had different kind of people.
I had, actually, a lot of singers before.
And, also, this is a variety show,
so this time around, I wanted to kind of not fall in love
with a singer, and it happened.
I actually fell in love with a quick-change artist.
Her name is Léa.
And, so, she does magic
while she changes, really quickly, her outfits.
I mean, it's mind-blowing.
We've had quick-change artists on "AGT" before,
but they were never that great.
Like, she came on onto to the stage
and she did her act, and I was like, "Ahhh!
I must press the buzzer quickly before anyone else does!"
-Yeah. I want to show a clip.
Here's Heidi pressing the Golden Buzzer
in this season of "America's Got Talent."
Take a look at this.
-♪ Throw your bombs and your blows ♪
-Whoa! -Dang!
-♪ This is the part of me ♪
♪ That you're never gonna ever take away from me, no ♪
-It's magic.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It was absolutely incredible and flawless.
I mean, you know how much I love fashion.
And I feel like we've never really
had anyone that is as good as you.
-No.
-So I feel like you should go straight to the live shows.
What do you think? [ Cheers and applause ]
-What?! -Oh!
-Yeah? [ Cheers and applause ]
Yes!
♪♪
-I love that.
That's such a good feeling, too,
to change someone's life like that.
Right there, you just changed her life.
-Of course. -Yeah.
-It's amazing, you know,
because I can really put a light on someone.
Because we see so many people every day,
and when you push that Golden Buzzer for someone,
it's like, all of a sudden, poof,
the focus is on them, and they get so much more --
you know, they get noticed way more.
