americas got talent Biography

The NBC American reality television show “America's Got Talent” is part of the “Got Talent” global British series. The talent show features dancers, singers, comedians, magicians and other performers from all age groups who compete for a $1 million top prize. In June 2006 the show made its debut during the television summer season. Beginning with its third season, the top prize for “Talent” now includes a $1 million prize, paid over forty years in the form of a financial annuity or the annuity's present cash value, in addition to a Las Vegas Strip headlining show.

One of the significant features of the show is giving an opportunity for unknown performers and talented amateurs. The audiences votes to determine the results. The popular format has been used quite often for United Kingdom and United States television shows.

Simon Cowell created the current incarnation of the show. Originally the show was to have been a UK television show named “Paul O'Grady's Got Talent.” However the acrimonious split of O'Grady with the broadcast ITV postponed the show. The American version is the first full “Got Talent” franchise series.

Although Simon Cowell is heavily involved with the production of the series, he doesn't appear on the show as a judge due to conditions in his Fox Network contract.
