Cowell is best known for his distinctively gruff on-air persona, but he remains the backbone of some huge television hits. He created “America’s Got Talent” through his Syco Entertainment, which has generated the most international spinoffs of any reality show in history. Cowell recently renewed his deal to remain on NBC and signed on as a judge for his show’s spinoff, “America’s Got Talent: The Champions.” He rose to worldwide prominence in 2002 on “American Idol” but left in 2010 to launch the U.S. version of “The X Factor,” now produced in 56 territories and airing in 168 countries. He’s responsible for putting together One Direction and Fifth Harmony, but despite the starmaker rep, he received his own plaque on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in August.
