According to sources, the actress met with top NBC executives yesterday. It was a broad, general meeting to discuss a number of possible projects and collaborations, including Vergara joining the America’s Got Talent judging panel.

AGT has two vacancies after the reality hit created and executive produced by Simon Cowell opted not to bring back as judges Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough following one-season stints.

The firings triggered a wave of controversy after it was revealed that Union had complained of a toxic work environment and racism before she was let go. The backlash prompted NBC and Fremantle to launch an investigation, which is ongoing.

Vergara recently appeared in and executive produced 365 Days of Love, a daily docuseries for Facebook Watch. It came from Latino-focused entertainment company Raze, which Vergara co-founded with Emiliano Calemzuk and Luis Balaguer.

Vergara has earned four Emmy and four Golden Globe nominations for her role as Gloria on ABC’s Modern Family, now in its 11th and final season.
