America’s Got Talent (AGT) is an American reality television series on which contestants of any age, ethnicity, and skill level compete for a large cash prize and a chance to perform at the “AGT” show in Las Vegas. The show’s format has remained largely unchanged throughout its run, with each season featuring a diverse group of performers, including singers, dancers, comedians, magicians, and animal acts. The winner of each season is determined by a combination of public voting and a panel of judges.
AGT has become one of the most popular television shows in the United States, and has spawned several spin-offs, including America’s Got Talent: The Champions and America’s Got Talent: Extreme. The show has also been praised for its diversity and its ability to give talented performers a chance to showcase their abilities to a national audience. However, the show has also been criticized for its focus on sensationalism and its exploitation of vulnerable performers.
