“America’s Got Talent,” NBC’s hit summer series from “American Idol” producers FremantleMedia North America and Simon Cowell’s SYCO Television, starts again with the best events and participants from across the country for the blockbuster reality show’s third season.
“America’s Got Talent,” hosted by Jerry Springer and is presided over by celebrity judges David Hasselhoff, Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne, has given an opportunity to bring about American culture in the TV scene with lots of performers from across the country. Each week, the show brings in front of you a group of artists which include singers, dancers, comedians, contortionists, impressionists, jugglers, magicians and ventriloquists, all vying for their chance to perform on stage in the hopes to garner the viewing audiences’ votes.
The third season has been filmed in locations across America, including a “virtual audition city” on MySpace, with the judges selecting the best acts who will advance to the Vegas Callbacks. The acts that make it through the Vegas Callbacks will then move on to the live semi-final performance episodes where the American viewing audience will vote for their favorites each week. The series culminates with a live finale where one act will walk away with a million-dollar prize. Terry Fator, a ventriloquist from Dallas, Texas, was the last year’s ’second season’ champion. He won a million-dollar grand prize, he also signed a contract with the Las Vegas Hilton in a deal worth more than 1.5 million dollars.
“America’s Got Talent” is produced by FremantleMedia North America and Simon Cowell’s SYCO Television. Cowell, Cecile Frot-Coutaz (“American Idol”), Georgie Hurford-Jones (“Britain’s Got Talent”), Jason Raff (“Clash of the Choirs”) and James Sunderland (“Dancing on Ice”) are executive producers.
From RAGINI
Overall, I feel this show is helpful in getting the best out of the ordinary people from the streets and helping the talent show from the masses. It is better than performing on the smaller podiums and you may garner a lot of followers by showcasing your talent in front of a million viewers and strike it rich too. Kudos to the team at America’s Got Talent and we do hope to see something similar in Indian TV too to give a good chance to our talent artistes too.
