He's only been on "America's Got Talent" for two episodes, but Howard Stern has already made a little kid cry. On Monday night, the shock jock and his co-judge Sharon Osbourne buzzed adorable 7-year-old rapper Amir Palmer, and the boy burst into tears. "That's a mean man," host Nick Cannon said.
BUT ... Stern felt really badly about the incident. He went onstage to hug Amir, saying, "I'll fix everything. I'm sorry honey, I'm so sorry. Mir Money, you're a terrific young man, you know that? You are so brave ... I'm going to be honest with you. I don't want to make you cry.
"You know what Mir Money, it's funny," he continued. "I've met many great rappers. I'm on the radio, I've interviewed them. None of them are quite as good as you."
Later, he added, "This job is too rough for me. I don't really wanna do it anymore ... I'm not cut out for this, man. I'm not cut out for it. I'm shaking man, I'm shaking. I can't do it, man. I can't do it." He also told Amir he was going to Las Vegas after all, however, The New York Post reports that it isn't happening.

Howard was not being mean.
That kid is a prime example of why these shows need a minimum age limit.
They talked about it afterward, and Tyra apologized. She's still one of the nicest judges and tv show hosts I've watched.
