This talent competition continues to be NBC‘s top rated summer series and it’s already been renewed for a 10th season. Will the ratings continue to be strong enough to justify airing twice a week? Stay tuned.
Hosted by Nick Cannon, America’s Got Talent is a nationwide talent show that features a variety of single and group performers. The winner takes home a cash prize and a chance to headline a Las Vegas show. Returning as judges are Melanie Brown, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Howard Stern. Episodes also air on Tuesdays.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the America’s Got Talent TV series? Do you think it should have been renewed for a 10th season?
I enjoy the show but some of the judges need to go. Howie Mandel always thinks the comedians are good. The two they sent through were terrible. I also thought Howard Stern was alright until he pushed the guy on the roller skates through, what a horrible choice. Instead of sending those three through they could of sent more of the singers through. Even if the singers were nervous they were much more talented than those three. Nick Cannon is great he makes the show fun to watch.
