Why isn’t ‘AGT’ on?

Although “AGT” judge Simon Cowell lost his voice during the filming of Season 18, the show’s absence from the air Tuesday night has nothing to do with this setback.

Instead of judges Cowell, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara and Howie Mandel, viewers will see “Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular” — featuring performances from Ashanti, Bebe Rexha, Ja Rule, Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson, among others — in its place on NBC Tuesday night.

NBC is one of a few networks airing Fourth of July programming on Tuesday — the 43rd annual “A Capital Fourth” concert will air in the same time slot on PBS.
