America's Got Talent is an American reality television series on the NBC television network. It is a talent show that features singers, dancers, magicians, comedians and other performers of all ages competing for the advertised top prize of US$1 million. The show debuted in June 2006 for the summer television season.The show concept can be traced back to the British talent contest Opportunity Knocks, which started as a radio program in 1949 before moving to television in 1956. Among its significant features were that it gave an opportunity to talented amateurs or unknown performers, with the results decided by a public vote.The format was sold by Simon Cowell after he originally produced the show that was to have been called Paul O'Grady's Got Talent but was postponed from 2005 until 2007, and when it was eventually launched in 2007 it was called, "Britain's Got Talent" because Paul O'Grady defected from ITV to Channel 4. Unlike the British version, Cowell does not appear as a judge due to the conditions of his American Idol contract.America's Got Talent began airing season one in the United Kingdom on ITV2 on 22 June 2007, TV3 Ireland on July 2007 and in New Zealand on Prime Television on 9 July 2007.The third season premiered on June 17, 2008.For the audition round, each of the three judges has a button in front of them that they can press when they do not want the act to continue; in season one, the button rings an electronic bell and a large red X with the judge's name lights up over the stage. A louder buzzer indicates the third judge's button was pressed, and the contestant's performance is terminated. In season two, only a buzzer is heard when a judge hits his/her button. If all three judges hit their X in season 2, the performer is illuminated in a lonely blue spotlight, indicating that they've been struck out. This is not as significant as it might be, since the judges occasionally cheat and press one another's buttons to abort even if a consensus of disapproval has not been reached. Then, the judges are asked whether the contestant should continue to the next round, with the approval of two out of three judges required. The button voting is not final, and occasionally a supporting judge can talk a disapproving one into switching sides. From there, the contestant is either rejected or passed to the next round of performance. The process is similar to the classic spoof amateur show The Gong Show, except that an act was ended by just one judge on Gong with no deliberations to follow.The acts who pass the auditions then attend a Las Vegas bootcamp, where they have a chance to perfect their craft. At this point, acts are divided into 2 groups, music, and variety. The music acts consist of singers and instrument players. The variety group consists of other acts. The music acts performs first, followed by the variety acts. Each act will perform for 3 minutes, and their performance will not be terminated, as the judges have no buttons to press. After each group has finished, the judges will split the groups into lines, either a yes line, or a no line. The ones who the judges said yes to will go to the short list of 35 acts. The acts which the judges have said no to will go home. After that, the judges will cut the short list of 35 to 20 final acts. In the semifinal episodes, the 20 acts will be first split into 2 groups of 10. America will vote and eliminate 5 out of the first group, then 5 out of the second. The remaining 10 will perform head to head in the next round, where the field will be narrowed each week.In the third season, since there are more audition episodes, there will be forty acts moving out of the bootcamp, instead of the twenty in Season 2.Unlike in Season 1, where there is a judges' choice and a viewers' choice, the voting is completely handed over to the viewers. There will be no checks, but just Xs. The judges may press the Xs if they do not want the act to continue and they may also comment on acts.Format Reality talent show Created by Simon CowellKen WarwickCécile Frot-CoutazJason Raff Presented by Jerry Springer (2007-Present)Regis Philbin (2006) Judges Piers MorganDavid HasselhoffBrandy Norwood (2006)Sharon Osbourne (2007-Present) Country of origin United States No. of episodes 28The performance shows are rated TV-PG and the results shows are rated TV-14.Ever since the show first aired in 2006, its ratings have outpaced every other broadcast of the night, and occasionally, of the week.
