Not to be picky but don’t other countries have their version of this show? If it is called America’s Got Talent….why are so many of the acts from other countries.
the show has “America” in its name but it never states is only for americans to perform the other shows also have acts from other countries performing too plus bringing international acts make for more types of talent to appear and increases viewership
Nice to have the show back
