CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

Simon Cowell created America's Got Talent because he wanted a talent competition that was "far grander" than other televised contests. The original plan was for a British edition, but a dispute led to the American version premiering first.

America's Got Talent premiered on June 21, 2006, after the British version was suspended, and it was a ratings success for NBC. The show draws an average of around 10 million viewers per season.

The show has a wide range of acts, including singing, dancing, comedy, magic, and stunts. Participants try to impress a panel of judges to get into the live episodes.

The winner of America's Got Talent receives a large cash prize, which is mainly paid over a period of time. Since season three, the winner also gets a chance to headline a show on the Las Vegas Strip.
