Englishman in L.A.: When Teatime in Topanga Starts to Taste Like Home (Oh Blimey!)

Just look at my friend Simon Cowell (all us Brits know each other, as you know!). When he arrived in L.A. to launch American Idol on Fox, he was an unknown record executive on his first set of gnashers. Two decades later, he's still here too, behind the desk on America's Got Talent on NBC, one of the few remaining success stories on network TV.
