As we said earlier, NBC’s America’s Got Talent returns to the airwaves tonight for the start of their new season. In anticipation The Hollywood Reporter spoke with judge Piers Morgan about balancing his two shows currently on American television.

Fans of Morgan may know that he also hosts a talk show on CNN called Piers Morgan Tonight which airs nightly at 9 PM. AGT on NBC airs Tuesdays from 8 – 10 PM, so obviously on Tuesdays he’s on two channels at the same time. The Hollywood Reporter asks how he can balance that and make sure he doesn’t compete against himself:

The Hollywood Reporter: After nearly half a year doing the CNN show, I imagine you’re getting a better grasp on what the US audience is after. How will that impact your work on America’s Got Talent?

Piers Morgan: They’re different audiences but I’m hoping that they will both help each other. It’s going to be quite odd in the summer when on two nights a week and I’m competing with myself. On the nights that AGT is airing in my CNN time slot, I think we’ll be doing stuff that wouldn’t necessarily be watched by the AGT audience. I think we’ll actively try to be strategic in going for political shows or newsy shows on those night. Things that aren’t the topics that the AGT audience might be tempted by. On a Monday night you might do your Simon Cowell interview, which they will love, where they have the chance to watch it. But no one has ever done this before. Already, it’s been a weird experience to go from interviewing [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu in Jerusalem and then coming back and doing a couple days of auditions. But I like it.
