Undiscovered talent of all ages -- singers, dancers, magicians, comics, musicians, ventriloquists and more -- appear before celebrity judges who decide which contestants move on in the competition each week. With the guidance of the show's host, the audience learns the backstories of these amazing people as they strive to make it to the finale, where one talented performer wins a life-changing $1 million prize. A select few join the most memorable and extraordinary acts from previous years, along with favorite contestants from other international Got Talent franchises, and return to the stage to show off their talents in hopes of impressing the judges' panel once again and taking home the title of America's "World Champion."

Kelly Lawler USA Today The acts were diverse and genuinely talented, from a South Korean dance troupe to a roller-skating couple with death-defying moves. Inclusiveness, hard work and ambition were celebrated. Inspirational stories were told. Aug 16, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member This was the best season AGT has ever had. The talent all year was soooooo great. And the judges were good this year to. Darci was pry the best winner in a long time. Great TV and a must watch season. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Brett L Probably the best season AGT has had since its glory days. The talent was amazing and you truly became invested with the acts. The judging was great this year and the production was even better. It was a very great season to watch as it felt fresh and exciting all at the same time. My point is proven by the viewership demo. The season 12 finale was the most watched episode six season five has it raked in about a whopping 16 million viewers. Overall this was the best season in America's got talent has had in quite a long time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/22 Full Review Audience Member is very good.but occasionally has dangerous acts i don't want to see Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This season feels more like a freak show than a talent show. Not enjoying near as much as past seasons. The judges seem to like the weird and unusual more than the talented and activating. Sad such a fun show is fading.
