Simon Cowell just revealed its his “dream” for his son, Eric, to take over America’s Got Talent.
The 65-year-old music mogul, who shares hi 11-year-old with partner Lauren Silverman, marked 20 years since the reality show began.
Simon expressed that he cannot see a future where the talent show series is not airing, at least for another two decades and hopes his family is the one to continue the legacy as the executive producer.
“I’m now looking at the next 20 years of this show – where does it go next?” he told PEOPLE magazine.
“And because it’s so open to anyone, I really do have this feeling that whether it’s me or whether it’s Eric, my son, you’re going to be having a conversation with us in 20 years time saying, ‘Well, how was the 40th anniversary?’ Because I can’t imagine this show not being on now,” Simon added.
Additionally, the TV star also hinted that Eric might just be interested in following his father’s footsteps.
When asked if he has spoken to his young son about working on America’s Got Talent, he replied, “I haven’t really had that conversation. I’ve hinted at it.”
“Fortunately like me, he loves these kinds of shows, which is a good start. I think he’d actually be a really good producer,” Simon Cowell concluded.
