'''''America's Got Talent''''' (often abbreviated as '''''AGT''''') is an American [[talent show]] competition, and is part of the global [[Got Talent|''Got Talent'' franchise]] created by [[Simon Cowell]]. The program is produced by [[Fremantle (company)|Fremantle {{nowrap|USA}}]] (as well as distributed by) and [[Syco Entertainment]], and broadcasts on the [[NBC]] [[television network]]. It premiered on June 21, 2006, after plans for [[Britain's Got Talent|a British edition]] in 2005 were suspended, following a dispute within the British broadcaster [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]]. Production would later resume in 2007,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Trade marks – find by number|url=http://www.ipo.gov.uk/tm/t-find/t-find-number?detailsrequested=C&trademark=2398862|access-date=November 29, 2011|publisher=Ipo.gov.uk}}</ref> following the success of the first season. Each season is mainly run during the network's summer schedule, and has featured various hosts over the course of the program's history. The current host is [[Terry Crews]].

The program attracts a variety of participants from across the United States and abroad, who possess some form of talents. Acts range from singing, dancing, comedy, magic, stunts, variety and other genres. Each participant or act who auditions, attempts to secure a place in the live episodes of a season, by impressing a panel of judges. The current line-up consists of Cowell, [[Howie Mandel]], [[Mel B]], and [[Sofía Vergara]]. Participants making it into the live episodes, compete against each other for both the judges' and public's vote, in order to reach the live final. The winner receives a large cash prize (primarily paid over a period of time), and since the third season, a chance to headline a show on the [[Las Vegas Strip]].

The show itself has been a rating success for NBC, drawing in on average around 10 million viewers per season. In 2013, a book titled ''Inside AGT: The Untold Stories of America's Got Talent'' was released, providing a description of the seasons, contestants, judges and production techniques of the show. It includes detailed interviews with contestants from all seasons, up to the date of the book's publication.<ref>Daly, Sean and Ashley Majeski. ''Inside AGT: The Untold Stories of America's Got Talent'', CreateSpace Independent Publishing (2013) {{ISBN|1492203602}}</ref>

The series has run for a total of nineteen seasons, with the nineteenth season airing May–September 2024, and has spawned four spin-off competitions: ''[[America's Got Talent: The Champions]]'' (2019–20), ''[[AGT: Extreme]]'' (2022), ''[[America's Got Talent: All-Stars]]'' (2023), and ''[[America's Got Talent: Fantasy League]]'' (2024). The main series premiered its twentieth season in May 2025 with host Crews and judges Cowell, Mandel, Vergara, and Mel B.

== History ==
The concept of ''America's Got Talent'' was devised by ''[[The X Factor]]'' creator and [[Sony Music Entertainment|Sony Music]] executive [[Simon Cowell]], who sought to create a talent competition far grander than those of other televised talent contests. His proposal, first made to British television network [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] in 2005, was for a competition in which participants of any age and location could enter with any form of talent they chose to perform. The network favored the concept, and green-lit production of a pilot episode to test out the format, with Cowell forming a panel consisting of himself and two other judges (including tabloid journalist [[Piers Morgan]]).<ref name="Fern Britton">{{cite news|url=http://www.unrealitytv.co.uk/britains-got-talent/fern-britton-was-supposed-to-be-britains-got-talent-judge/|title=Fern Britton was supposed to be Britain's Got Talent judge|last=McGarry|first=Lisa|date=13 January 2012|publisher=Unreality TV|access-date=28 December 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131230234208/http://www.unrealitytv.co.uk/britains-got-talent/fern-britton-was-supposed-to-be-britains-got-talent-judge/|archive-date=30 December 2013}}</ref> The pilot proved to be a success. The original plan for the program was for a British edition to be produced and broadcast between 2005 and 2006, hosted by British television personality [[Paul O'Grady]], who had assisted with the pilot<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/a23450/ogrady-to-host-prime-time-talent-show.html|title=O'Grady to host prime-time talent show|last=Kilkelly|first=Daniel|date=13 August 2005|work=[[Digital Spy]]|publisher=[[Hearst Magazines UK]]|access-date=13 August 2005}}</ref> (before Cowell would propose the format for American television). However, O'Grady became involved in a dispute with ITV during work on the new program, ultimately terminating his contract with them and defecting to another British network.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.unrealitytv.co.uk/reality-tv/paul-ogrady-quits-simon-cowells-new-itv-show/|title=Paul O'Grady Quits Simon Cowell's New ITV Show!|last=McGarry|first=Lisa|date=23 February 2006|publisher=Unreality TV|access-date=23 February 2006|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070718090610/http://www.unrealitytv.co.uk/reality-tv/paul-ogrady-quits-simon-cowells-new-itv-show/|archive-date=18 July 2007}}</ref>

As a result, Cowell suspended work on the British edition, and hastened his efforts on launching the format in America. Approaching several networks, Cowell received an offer from [[NBC]] to produce his televised competition for their network, owing to feedback given to the pilot made for ITV, and agreed to a contract to produce fifteen episodes for the 2006 summer schedule. Cowell worked with [[Fremantle (company)|Fremantle]] and his company [[Syco Entertainment]], but decided against becoming a judge for the new program, choosing to act as executive producer instead. [[Regis Philbin]] served as the host,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://movieweb.com/regis-philbin-to-host-nbcs-americas-got-talent/|title=Regis Philbin To Host NBC's America's Got Talent|website=MovieWeb|date=May 10, 2006}}</ref> with [[David Hasselhoff]], [[Brandy Norwood]] and Morgan as judges.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/2006/05/americas-got-talent-1-judges/|title=David Hasselhoff, Brandy, and Piers Morgan will judge NBC's America's Got Talent|last=Dehnart|first=Andy|website=Reality Blurred|date=May 22, 2006}}</ref> The first season proved a success, leading NBC to commission additional seasons, and prompting ITV to contact Cowell with the intention of resuming production on the British edition for 2007. The success of ''Britain's Got Talent'' (along with the American series), led Cowell to accept offers for the rights to the competition format, creating the ''[[Got Talent]]'' franchise.

== Format ==
[[File:Simon Cowell in December 2011.jpg|thumb|right|[[Simon Cowell]], creator of ''America's Got Talent'' and the ''Got Talent'' franchise, is primarily a judge on the British international version of the franchise. He has operated as a judge on ''AGT'' since May 2016.]]

=== Auditions ===
Each year's competition begins with a set of audition stages, the first being the "Producers' Auditions", is conducted across various cities in the United States.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.americasgottalentauditions.com/performance-faq/|title=Performance FAQ|date=January 10, 2014|work=Official America's Got Talent Audition Site 2017-2018|access-date=August 18, 2017}}</ref> This stage is open to all forms of acts and judged by an independent group, and thus determines who will take part in the next stage of auditions titled "Judges' Auditions". These are held in a public venue, within select cities across the country, and are attended by the judges handling that year's contest.

Each participant reaching this stage of auditions is held offstage from the main performing area in a waiting room, and given a number that denotes when they will perform. Upon being called before the judges, the participant is given 90 seconds to demonstrate their act, with a live audience present for all performances. Each judge is given a buzzer, and may use it during a performance if they are unimpressed, dislike what is being performed, or feel the act is a waste of their time. If a participant is buzzed by all judges, their performance is automatically over. At the end of a performance, the judges give constructive criticism and feedback about what they saw, whereupon they are each given a vote. A participant requires a majority vote approving their performance to proceed to the next stage, otherwise they are eliminated from the program at that stage. Many acts that move on may be cut or forfeit their place, due to the limited slots available for the next stage. Filming for each season begins when the Judges' Auditions are taking place, with the show's presenter standing in the wings of each venue's stage to interview, and give personal commentary on a participant's performance.

From the fifth to seventh seasons, acts who did not attend live auditions could instead submit a taped audition online via [[YouTube]]. Acts from the online auditions were then selected to compete in front of the judges and a live audience during the "live shows" part of the season, prior to the semi-finals. Before the inclusion of this round, the show had a separate audition episode in Seasons 3 and 4 (2008–2009) for contestants who posted videos on [[MySpace]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://mashable.com/2008/04/29/myspace-americas-got-talent/|title=MySpace Opens Six-Day Virtual Audition For America's Got Talent|last=Glazowski|first=Paul|website=Mashable|date=April 29, 2008|access-date=August 18, 2017}}</ref>

In the ninth season, the show added a new format to the auditions in the form of the "Golden Buzzer", which began to make appearances within the ''[[Got Talent]]'' franchise, since it was first introduced on ''[[Das Supertalent|Germany's Got Talent]]''. During auditions, each judge is allowed to use the Golden Buzzer to send an act automatically into the live shows, regardless of the opinion of the other judges. When it was initially used, the buzzer simply saved an act from elimination. The only rule to the buzzer was that a judge could use it only once per season. The host was later allowed to use the Golden Buzzer for an act starting from the eleventh season.

=== Second Round ===
After auditions are completed, the judges conduct a special session (or second "audition" round) to determine which participants will secure a place in the live rounds of the competition, though the format for this stage has been changed several times over the course of the program's history. When the stage was first created after the first season, it was designed around a "boot camp" format titled "[[Las Vegas]] Callbacks". Under the format's rules, participants who made it through the preliminary auditions could undergo training to perfect their act, whereupon each would be assigned to a specific group of participants and perform a second time before the judges. Buzzers would be used to terminate a performance at any time, with those not deemed worthy of a place being eliminated from that season's format.

Between the fourth and ninth season, the format was changed to match that used in ''[[Britain's Got Talent]]''. Participants who made it through the preliminary auditions had their audition footage reviewed by the judges, who set each one into a specific group, and were not required to perform again (unless the judges requested this). Acts which they liked would be allocated spaces in the live rounds, with the remainder eliminated from that season's competition. All acts were brought back to learn of the results of the judges' deliberations. The format was titled "Vegas Verdicts" and held on the [[Las Vegas Strip]]. For the final seasons of its usage, it was re-dubbed "Judgment Week" and conducted within [[New York City|New York]].<ref name="Radio City">{{cite news|url=https://nypost.com/2014/04/08/americas-got-talent-live-at-radio-city-this-summer/|title=America's Got Talent Live At Radio City|work=New York Post|first=Michael|last=Starr}}</ref>

Between the tenth season and fourteenth season, the stage's format was changed again under a new arrangement dubbed "Judge Cuts". Under the new format's rules, participants that passed the preliminary auditions underwent a second stage of auditions before the judges at a fixed venue. However, their performance would not only be judged by the panel, but also by a special guest judge, with all participants divided up into four groups. Each group would be judged by their own guest judge. Like the auditions, the main judges could use their buzzers at any time to stop a performance, while the guest judge would be allowed to use a Golden Buzzer for a participant they particularly liked (as well as providing comments on the performances they watched). In the fifteenth season, the round was condensed into a single episode and featured no guest judge, due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in the United States]] in 2020. The round was replaced to its current arrangement for the sixteenth season, matching that of ''Britain's Got Talent'' around that time.

=== Live Rounds ===
Participants who pass their auditions and secure a place in the live rounds of the competitions, including those who received the Golden Buzzer after the format's introduction and subsequent amendment to match other ''Got Talent'' editions, are divided into groups and compete against each other to secure a place within the live final of the competition. Live episodes of the competition are held within a set venue (the location has varied), with the current arrangement focused on a venue within [[Los Angeles]] and live episodes for each season being aired weekly on the network. The arrangement differs from the schedule used by other international editions. ''Britain's Got Talent'', for example, broadcasts its live episodes within the space of a single week. The structure of the live rounds by this stage of the competition has varied, but is more commonly arranged as quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final itself. Earlier seasons varied, sometimes having the finals split into separate rounds.

The format of the live rounds, for the quarter-finals and semi-finals, sees each participant conduct a new performance of their act before the judges and the viewers within a "performance" episode. In this episode, the judges can still give out feedback and comments about a participant's performance, and be able to use their buzzers, with the performance terminated if all the buzzers are used. After the episode is broadcast, the network provides the public a set period of time to vote for their act, with the results of these held in a separate "results" episode. When it is broadcast has varied, though it more commonly occurs after an interval of one day after the live "performance" episode. Participants wore the same outfits from the performance episode and are then informed of the results, with those receiving the highest votes (i.e. Top 4) advancing to the next stage. For the two acts that receive the mid-range of votes for all participants, they undergo a vote by the judges to determine who joins those who advanced. When the program brought in the format of using four judges, a tie-break on this vote results in the act with the higher number of public votes moving on. The Judges' vote was not a common format element in earlier seasons. In the first season, the judges did not decide on who moved on, instead voting for acts they liked or disliked. In the second season, they could not vote on acts at all, instead only being able to buzz them.

For some acts that are eliminated, there is still a chance for advancement by being appointed as that round's "Wildcard". Until the tenth season, this format varied in how it would work. In some seasons, the judges could each individually select an act, or more than one, to move on to the next stage or compete within a special Wildcard round. In other seasons, the Wildcard acts were selected from among the auditions and competed in a special round. Since the tenth season, the format is more structured and works in a similar manner to that of the format used by ''Britain's Got Talent'', in that the judges and the public can each chose the acts they want to see move on as a Wildcard act. Although the judges are refrained from choosing a quarter-finalist as a Wildcard act, the public may vote online for an act within each quarter-final and semi-final to move on into the next stage, with this vote aptly named after the sponsor for the show in that respective season.

Those who make it into the season's final compete against each other to secure the most votes from the public, with the number of finalists varying between seasons. Later seasons allow each finalist more than one performance and sometimes being joined by a celebrity guest, previous winner, or notable participant from a previous season. The winning act that achieves the most votes is crowned the winner and receives a cash prize. Although stipulated as $1 million per the program's advertising, in reality winners can choose to either take it as a lump sum, or as a financial annuity of this amount that is paid out over forty years at around $25,000 per year. Both options are liable to taxation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://metro.co.uk/2019/02/19/americas-got-talent-champions-winner-get-prize-money-8668981/|title=Does the America's Got Talent: The Champions winner get prize money?|date=February 19, 2019|website=Metro|language=en|access-date=February 20, 2019}}</ref> Since Season 10, the winner will also perform on the first results show of the next season. From 2008, the program also includes an additional prize of headlining a show, except from between 2010 and 2013, where the winning finalist headlined a national tour.<ref name=Fera>{{cite news|last=Fera|first=Jessica|url=http://www.wpxi.com/entertainment/25382962/detail.html|title=Jackie Evancho Featured on 'Oprah Winfrey Show'|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110830095716/http://www.wpxi.com/entertainment/25382962/detail.html|archive-date=August 30, 2011|work=[[WPXI|WPXI.com]]|date=October 21, 2010|access-date=October 12, 2011}}</ref><ref name=Caesars>{{cite web|url=http://www.lvrj.com/neon/michael-grimm-says-he-feels-blessed-to-be-a-part-of--america-s-got-talent---hitting-caesars-today-104556764.html|title=Michael Grimm says he feels blessed to be a part of 'America's Got Talent,' hitting Caesars today|publisher=Las Vegas Review-Journal|date=October 8, 2010|access-date=November 14, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101011124624/http://www.lvrj.com/neon/michael-grimm-says-he-feels-blessed-to-be-a-part-of--america-s-got-talent---hitting-caesars-today-104556764.html|archive-date=October 11, 2010}}</ref> The show they headline mainly takes place within [[Las Vegas]].<ref name=Season9Tour />

#{{note|1}} Cowell was absent from the live shows of season 15 due to an accident that resulted in a back injury. After doctors required him to remain under medical observation, production brought in temporary stand-ins for the first two quarter finals, before settling on airing the remaining live rounds with a judging panel of three.

=== Season 1 (2006) ===
{{Main|America's Got Talent season 1}}
[[File:Bianca Ryan Hollystock 2015 01.JPG|right|thumb|125px|upright|[[Bianca Ryan]], [[America's Got Talent season 1|season one]] winner]]
The first season for ''America's Got Talent'' was promoted in May 2006, and was eventually aired later that year between June 21 and August 17. While later episodes would pre-record auditions at earlier dates, this season had them conducted across June, at venues within the cities of [[New York City]], [[Chicago]], and [[Los Angeles]]. Live-round episodes were held within the latter city. Initial advertisements for participants of ''America's Got Talent'' implied that the winning act would headline a show in [[Las Vegas]], but this was later dropped in favor of a cash prize of $1 million, due to concerns surrounding the possibility of awarding such a prize to a minor.

The first season was hosted by [[Regis Philbin]], with the judging panel consisting of actor [[David Hasselhoff]], singer [[Brandy Norwood]] and journalist [[Piers Morgan]]. More than 12 million viewers watched the program's premiere episode, a far greater viewing figure than had been achieved by the premiere of ''[[American Idol]]'' in 2002, becoming one of the most-watched program on U.S. television and the highest-rated among viewers aged 18 to 49 at that time.<ref>{{cite news|last=Mousavizadeh|first=Nader|url=http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2006-06-23T013703Z_01_N22404440_RTRUKOC_0_US-LEISURE-TALENT.xml|title=Reuters|publisher=Today.reuters.com|date=February 9, 2009|access-date=November 29, 2011}}{{dead link|date=June 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> The first season was won by singer [[Bianca Ryan]], with [[clogging]] group ''All That'' and musical group ''The Millers'' being the runners-up. Neither act were defined in the results in terms of who was placed 2nd, and who was placed in 3rd.

=== Season 2 (2007) ===
{{Main|America's Got Talent season 2}}
[[File:Comedian Terry Fator on stage.jpg|right|thumb|125px|upright|[[Terry Fator]], [[America's Got Talent season 2|season two]] winner]]
Following the success of the previous season, [[NBC]] commissioned the program for additional episodes, but originally intended for the new season to be aired as part of its 2007 winter schedule. However, the network decided against this due to the program potentially being placed in direct competition for viewers with ''[[American Idol]]'', and kept ''America's Got Talent'' within its 2007 summer schedule.<ref>[http://www.nbcumv.com/release_detail.nbc/broadcasttelevision-20061129135036-nbcsmid-season200.html "NBC's mid-season 2006–07 schedule"] {{dead link|date=March 2017|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}. NBCUMV.com. November 29, 2006.</ref> The second season aired between June 5 and August 21, 2007. Prior to filming taking place, Philbin left the program and was replaced as host by [[Jerry Springer]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=20070305nbc02|title=Popular Television Talk-Show Host Jerry Springer Named Host of NBC's 'America's Got Talent'|publisher=Thefutoncritic.com|date=March 5, 2007|access-date=November 29, 2011}}</ref> Norwood dropped out, due to a legal situation, and was replaced by [[Sharon Osbourne]]. Auditions for this season involved venues within the same cities as had been previously used, but with the inclusion of [[Dallas]] as part of its competition schedule.

The second season saw the introduction of a new round in the audition process, which was referred to as the "boot camp stage", a period of callback episodes filmed in Las Vegas, aimed at streamlining successful participants from the first round of auditions towards a set number for the live rounds. Alongside this, participants in the live rounds moved on via the public vote only, while the episode for results was aired a week after each live episode's performance and within a smaller time slot for its broadcast. This season was won by singing impressionist and [[Ventriloquism|ventriloquist]] [[Terry Fator]], with singer and guitarist [[Cas Haley]] coming in second, and singer [[Butterscotch (performer)|Butterscotch]] placing third.

=== Season 3 (2008) ===
{{Main|America's Got Talent season 3}}
[[File:Neal Boyd 08-10-08.jpg|right|thumb|125px|upright|[[Neal E. Boyd]], [[America's Got Talent season 3|season three]] winner]]
The third season aired between June 17 and October 1, 2008, with a break in its broadcast between August 7 and 26 to avoid conflict with NBC's live broadcasts of the [[2008 Summer Olympics]]. Auditions took place much earlier in the production schedule to provide time for finalizing editing on recorded footage, taking place between January and April across venues within the same cities from the previous season, but with the addition of a venue within the city of [[Atlanta]]. Unlike the previous season, the Las Vegas callback episodes doubled the number of semi-finalists involved in the live rounds.

Following the second season, judges voted between the participants placed 5th and 6th in the public vote during the quarterfinals and semi-finals, to determine who moved on at each stage. Apart from some amendments to the program's format, staff also implemented cosmetic changes to the set pieces used on ''America's Got Talent''. An example of this included the "red X's", used to symbolize disapproval from each judge, being redesigned to match the visual style of those used in ''[[Britain's Got Talent]]''. This season was won by opera singer [[Neal E. Boyd]], with singer and pianist Eli Mattson coming in second, and violinists Nuttin' But Stringz placing third.

=== Season 4 (2009) ===
{{Main|America's Got Talent season 4}}

[[File:Kevin Skinner.jpg|right|thumb|125px|upright|[[Kevin Skinner]], [[America's Got Talent season 4|season four]] winner]]

The fourth season aired between June 23 and September 19, 2009, and was the first season to be broadcast in [[High-definition television|high definition]]. Auditions were held between January and April, at venues within New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta.

Online auditions for the program were modified to allow registration via [[YouTube]], with a guaranteed placement in the competition. The live rounds were extended to include two new quarter-finals, each themed to certain groups of participants: those who were chosen from their YouTube auditions and those who had been eliminated during the second round of auditions or their quarter-finals. The final stage of the competition included its finalists conducting performances, each with their own guest performer, a format that would become a part of the program and an optional choice for finalists in future seasons. The finalists were offered a place on the ''America's Got Talent Live Tour'' that year, regardless of their final result, although the winner would be made the headline act for the tour in addition to their main prize.<ref name=Fera/><ref name=Caesars/> This season was won by singer/musician [[Michael Grimm (musician)|Michael Grimm]], with classical singer [[Jackie Evancho]] coming in second, and performance group Fighting Gravity placing third.

For the live episodes of this season, the venue moved from Newark to New York, holding them within [[Radio City Music Hall]].

Several changes were made to the program for this season. The most significant was the introduction of the "Golden Buzzer" format, first introduced on ''[[Germany's Got Talent]]'' in 2012, which had also been introduced into ''Britain's Got Talent'' earlier that year. However, it was used mainly to save an act from elimination in the auditions, and wouldn't match the format used across the [[Got Talent|''Got Talent'' franchise]] until the following year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.zap2it.com/blogs/americas_got_talent_offers_a_golden_buzzer-2014-04|title='America's Got Talent' Season 9: 'Golden Buzzer' can save contestants|work=Zap2It|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160502225918/http://zap2it.com/blog-post/americas-got-talent-offers-a-golden-buzzer/|archive-date=May 2, 2016|url-status=dead|access-date=April 8, 2014|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

Other changes included the "boot camp" round being filmed in New York, and the introduction of a new online vote for viewers, named after the [[Snapple|program's sponsor during that season]]. This determined which three acts placed in the mid-range of the public vote: 5th, 6th and 7th in the semi-finals, with 4th, 5th and 6th in the "Top 12" round advancing, and the remaining two voted by the judges. This season was won by magician [[Mat Franco]], with singer [[Emily West]] coming second, and acrobatic troupe AcroArmy placing third.

This season had the Golden Buzzer format, introduced in the previous season, matching that of ''[[Britain's Got Talent]]''. Its use would send a participant directly into the live rounds, although the host was not allowed to use it per the revised format.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cartermatt.com/159705/americas-got-talent-making-golden-buzzers-more-like-britains-got-talent-other-minor-changes/|title='America's Got Talent' making golden buzzers more like 'Britain's Got Talent'; other minor changes|work=CarterMatt.com|date=April 2, 2015}}</ref> In addition, the boot camp round was revamped with a new format and renamed as "Judge Cuts", in which they were held over four weeks rather than one. It consisted of about eighty acts shortlisted from the auditions with around twenty per week, and featured the involvement of a guest judge for each of these episodes. Along with the main judges, they could use the Golden Buzzer for an act they wished to see in the live rounds. [[Neil Patrick Harris]], [[Michael Bublé]], [[Marlon Wayans]] and [[Piers Morgan]] became the first guest judges for the new format in this season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://on-camera-audiences.com/shows/Americas_Got_Talent/201505241000|title=America's Got Talent|work=On-Camera-Audiences}}</ref><ref name=Piers>{{Cite web|title=Neil Patrick Harris, Michael Bublé, Marlon Wayans & Piers Morgan to Guest Judge on 'America's Got Talent' Starting Tuesday, July 14!|url=https://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/network-press-releases/neil-patrick-harris-michael-buble-piers-morgan-marlon-wayans-to-guest-judge-on-americas-got-talent-starting-tuesday-july-14/409015/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180801034533/https://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/network-press-releases/neil-patrick-harris-michael-buble-piers-morgan-marlon-wayans-to-guest-judge-on-americas-got-talent-starting-tuesday-july-14/409015/|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 1, 2018|access-date=May 27, 2015}}</ref> The "Snapple Vote", introduced in the previous season, was renamed the "Dunkin' Save" to coincide with the [[Dunkin' Donuts|program's new sponsor]]. Its format expanded to cover quarter-finalists who finished in 6th, 7th or 8th place per public vote, along with the semi-finalists who finished in 4th, 5th or 6th place per public votes.

This season was won by [[Ventriloquism|ventriloquist]] [[Paul Zerdin]], with comedian Drew Lynch coming in second, and magician mentalist [[Oz Pearlman]] placing third.

=== Holiday specials ===
In 2016, NBC commissioned a festive two-hour special of the program, titled ''America's Got Talent Holiday Spectacular''.

{{main|America's Got Talent: The Champions}}

In May 2018, NBC commissioned executive producer and ''Got Talent'' creator [[Simon Cowell]] with producing an [[all-star]] [[Spin-off (media)|spin-off]] competition, titled ''America's Got Talent: The Champions''. Cowell had conceived of an idea for a global competition consisting of participants that had appeared across the ''Got Talent'' franchise across the years, including notable acts and winners. The format for the spin-off would be similar to the main program, though episodes would be pre-recorded when the spin-off contest was held in autumn, and then later broadcast during the network's winter schedule.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/NBC-and-Simon-Cowell-Announce-New-Winter-Edition-of-AMERICAS-GOT-TALENT-THE-CHAMPIONS-20180514|title=NBC and Simon Cowell Announce New Winter Edition of AMERICA'S GOT TALENT: THE CHAMPIONS|website=BroadwayWorld|date=May 14, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/nbc-doubles-down-americas-got-talent-new-winter-edition-1111355/|title=NBC Doubles Down on 'America's Got Talent' With New Winter Edition|last=Goldberg|first=Lesley|website=Hollywood Reporter|date=May 12, 2018|access-date=March 28, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://tvline.com/2018/05/12/americas-got-talent-champions-series-order-nbc-all-stars/|title=America's Got Talent Adds All-Star Edition for Next Winter on NBC|last=Schwartz|first=Ryan|website=TVLine|date=May 12, 2018}}</ref>

== Reception ==
=== U.S. television ratings ===
Since the show began, its ratings have been very high, ranging from 9 million viewers to as many as 16 million viewers (generally averaging around 12 million viewers). The show has also ranked high in the 18–49 demographic, usually rating anywhere from as low as 1.6 to as high as 4.6 throughout its run. Audition shows and performance shows rate higher on average than results shows.

Although the show's ratings have been high, the network typically keeps the show's run limited to before the official start of the next television season in the third week of September, with some reductions or expansions depending on [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] years. Finale ratings are usually lower due to returning programming on other networks.

The highest rated season in overall viewers to date is season four (2009). The most-watched episode has been the finale of season five (2010), with 16.41 million viewers. The series premiere and an episode featuring the first part of Las Vegas Week in season six (2011) have each tied for highest rating among adults 18–49, both having a 4.6 rating.
