AMERICAS GOT TALENT Returns For 13th Season May 29 on NBC  Image

After a record-breaking season 12, summer phenomenon "America's Got Talent" is back on Monday, May 29 with creator and judge Simon Cowell returning alongside Mel B, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel.


Supermodel, entrepreneur and business CEO Tyra Banks joined the team last summer as host and melded effortlessly with the judges, bringing her unmistakable personal flair and verve to the show.


With the search open to acts of all ages, "America's Got Talent" has brought the variety format back to the forefront of American culture by showcasing unique performers from around the world. The series is a true celebration of creativity and talent, featuring a colorful array of singers, dancers, comedians, contortionists, impressionists, magicians, ventriloquists and hopeful stars, all vying to win America's hearts and $1 million.

Season 12 winner Darci Lynne Farmer received the most votes ever for a finale show in "America's Got Talent" history and won viewers over with her incredible performances alongside puppets Oscar and Petunia. Season 12 also set massive records across digital platforms, garnering more than 2.6 billion views on Facebook, Youtube and Twitter combined. With her "AGT" win in hand, Farmer is currently touring around the country.
The "Got Talent" format, created by Simon Cowell and co-owned by Syco Entertainment and FremantleMedia globally, holds the Guinness World Record as the most successful reality TV format of all time, airing in 184 countries and having been commissioned in 70 territories globally. More than 500 million people watch "Got Talent" around the world every year.
