What’s This TV Show About?

A variety competition series airing on the NBC television network, the America’s Got Talent TV show features an array of individual and group performers, including singers, dancers, comedians, contortionists, impressionists, magicians, ventriloquists, magicians, and more. In season 18, Terry Crews returns as host, and Howie Mandel, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Sofía Vergara return to the judge’s table. This season promises some of the wildest acts ever to grace the AGT stage. Then, there are six weeks of live shows at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. The season concludes with the winning act receiving a $1 million prize.

 

Season 19 Ratings

The 19th season of America’s Got Talent averaged a 0.41 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 4.78 million viewers. Compared to season 18, that’s down by 26% in the demo and down by 13% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Will NBC cancel or renew America’s Got Talent for season 20? The show has been one of NBC’s top summer series for years, and I can’t see the network cancelling it now, especially on the cusp of an anniversary season.
