America’s Got Talent

America’s Got Talent is an American reality television series on the NBC television network. The show concept can be traced back to the American talent contest Major Bowes Amateur Hour, broadcast in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s. Debuting in June 2006 for the summer television season, the talent show features singers, dancers, magicians, comedians and other performers of all ages competing for the advertised top prize of US $1 million.
