But I think I always knew I was going to be a musician. I mean, I think maybe for a moment when I was 8 I thought I wanted to be a veterinarian or an astronaut.
It just - it was never a point where it was like, do you want to do music or something else? It was just always like I just knew. SIMON: Scott, a lot of people, when they knew that as a kid, would rule out a career in music. I mean, yeah, they are very tiny, aren't they? I had that for years, and just a few years ago, I got these two little guys. SIMONS: But hearing aid technology is moving so fast, I ended up getting one small one. I was born with genetic hearing loss, and for 18 years all the way through high school, I was really reluctant in the '80s and '90s to get a hearing aid because it was like, you know, one of the big behind-the-ear ones. I quit lessons growing up a lot, so I was never really, like, a classical guy. SIMONS: Well, that's how I learned mostly. SIMON: So, like, you can hear a song and start playing it. Sometimes we have opera acts, and I got to play "'O Sole Mio" and sometimes we have R&B acts, so a lot of time I'm spent on Spotify or YouTube learning the songs, figuring out the chord progression.
We're going to try these six songs to see which one sounds best. A lot of times it's a frantic pace so that it's like, hey, you know, we have this act coming in.
And there are things that sometimes I just have to, like, fake through and wing it. SIMONS: So I don't know what's going to come at me any given day. He posts hilarious tweets and helps contestants on "America's Got Talent" do their best for their one big moment before an audience of millions. He has his own music group, TeamMate, with his old girlfriend, Dani Buncher. He works with improv groups, including the Upright Citizens Brigade. He writes and sings jingles and theme songs like the one for "Paw Patrol," the kid's cartoon show on Nick Jr. Scott Simons came to LA 10 years ago, and he's made a life inside this city of so many dreams. SIMON: And he's doing well with that extra S. And then, you know, my whole life, people are like, Scott Simons, like, the guy on NPR? I'm like, no, he's Scott Simon. SIMON: Storage? You kept it up in your room, and it's been a constant inspiration to you. I bet my mom - I have it in storage somewhere, and I was going to try to find it. And I probably - if I go - I'll go home over Christmas. SIMONS: You drew glasses and a mustache on yourself. SIMONS: And he got me a headshot that he requested through the network, and you signed it to me, said dear - something to the effect of Dear Scott, I hope you're doing our name more justice than I am. Va., wrote me a note to say, I have a son named Scott. SIMON: But when he was a teenager and I was at NBC, Mike Simons, his father, a local station weatherman in Clarksburg, W. UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your "America's Got Talent" judges.
