Hosted by fan favourite actor, producer and comedian Nick Cannon – the season premiere of America’s Got Talent follows the highly-anticipated season finale of Canada’s Got Talent at the special time, 7pm ET/PT on Citytv. To kick off the star-studded evening as Canada crowns its own top performer, the Canada’s Got Talent finale features a performance by beloved America’s Got Talent runner up, 12-year-old soprano Jackie Evancho. America’s Got Talent will air regularly on Mondays at 8pm ET/PT and Tuesdays at 9pm ET/PT, beginning May 14.
Last year’s Season 6 of American’s Got Talent averaged 1.5 million viewers (P2+), making it Citytv’s most-watch series of the summer for the second consecutive year.
While America’s most gripping performers from across the country get ready to show off their most-talented – or most unusual – skills, American radio personality, television host and best-selling author Howard Stern joins court on the AGT judging panel alongside Canadian comedian Howie Mandel and daytime TV host, reality star and music manager Sharon Osbourne.
Auditions for Season 7 were held in New York City, St. Louis, Washington, D.C., Tampa, FL, Anaheim, CA, Austin, TX , Charlotte, NC, and San Francisco. Bringing a fresh take to the series, America’s Got Talent will be moving to the East Coast this season, broadcasting live two nights a week from New York beginning in July – allowing new judge Howard Stern to continue his hit radio program “Howard 100.”
From singers, dancers, comedians and contortionists to impressionists, jugglers, magicians and ventriloquists, Season 7 of America’s Got Talent has it all. Watch the star-making and sometimes heart-breaking auditions as some of the most talented acts in the nation take the stage hoping to win America’s hearts – and the $1 million prize.
