It’s officially 2023 and it’s time to try out new things. The folks at America’s Got Talent took this idea to heart, as NBC recently debuted the latest spin-off of the competition franchise, America’s Got Talent: All-Stars.
Like its predecessor, AGT: All-Stars brings together a group of contestants as they battle out their respective skills to be the best of the best. Unlike previous iterations of the show, this spin-off has one major difference. Every competitor has either won a season, been a fan-favorite or competed on an international version of the hit competition series. And since AGT was the one to start it all, it only makes sense for familiar faces to return, including judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel. Plus, Terry Crews as host.
Now, viewers may have noticed one memorable judge missing from the roster: Sofía Vergara. Understandably, this has led many to wonder, why is she not on AGT: All Stars? While she may not currently be sitting on the judges’ panel, the Latinx star is keeping fans up-to-date on what she’s doing in the meantime.

Why is Sofía Vergara not on AGT: All-Stars 2023?
At the moment, there is no official reason as to why Sofía is not a judge on AGT: All Stars. Despite there being no word from NBC about the decision to not have the Modern Family actress join the show, the actress has certainly given some clues as to what she may be up to right now.
In a series of posts on Instagram, Sofía revealed that she enjoyed the holiday season with husband Joe Manganiello. According to the actress, the two celebrated Christmas and New Year’s Eve at their vacation home in the Caribbean nicknamed “Casa Chipi Chipi.”
“We dont want to leave!! 😣😣,” she wrote on January 1 with the hashtag “#casachipichipi🐚🦀.”
What’s more, she has other projects in the works. Back in November 2021, it was announced that Sofía would portray Colombian-based cartel leader Griselda Blanco in the upcoming Netflix miniseries Griselda. Although no release date has been shared, Netflix does have a title page prepared for when the time comes.
As for those wondering whether Sofía has plans to return to America’s Got Talent for season 18, that’s to be determined. But given the fact she has appeared on the last three seasons, it wouldn’t be too big of a shock if she announced she was coming back for another round of judging.
Until then, we’ll keep tuning into AGT: All-Stars while waiting to see what else Sofía has in store!
