In the past, America’s Got Talent has been one of NBC’s top rated shows. Will that trend continue so that it’s renewed for a ninth season? Or, could the ratings fall low enough for it to be cancelled instead? Time will tell.

This time around, the judges are Heidi Klum, Howard Stern, Howie Mandel, and Mel B. Nick Cannon returns as host.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
