Exclusive: Up-and-coming comic Preacher Lawson has announced that his second special, My Name Is Preacher, will debut on YouTube on March 18th. Check out a trailer above.
Marking his follow-up to 2019’s Get to Know Me, which released on BET+ and later Prime Video, My Name Is Preacher sees the comedian discuss everything from his nomadic upbringing, to navigating life with a mischievous dog, to getting pulled over on his birthday, with an emphasis on family.
“Family is very important to me,” Lawson said. “My mom opened for me at the taping of my special, my brother is a frequent collaborative of mine, and my fans are a part of my extended family. It’s why I spent the past five years working on this material for my fans and their families and I can’t wait for them all to see it.”

To date, eight of the 11 finalists have been named for the “America’s Got Talent” Season 18 finale, and five of them are Golden Buzzers: dance groups Murmuration and Chibi Unity, plus singing acts Putri Ariani, Lavender Darcangelo and Mzansi Youth Choir. There is still one week left to go in the Qualifiers round, and Gold Derby readers predict one additional such act will advance to the finale: singer Gabriel Henrique.
That would mean roughly half of the 2023 finalists received a confetti shower in their auditions. However, that doesn’t necessarily give them an advantage over the non-Golden Buzzer acts still in the competition: dog act Adrian Stoica and Hurricane, comedian Ahren Belisle and magician Anna DeGuzman. In fact, you don’t have to look back too far throughout “AGT” history to find an example of such an act going on to win the show.

Michael Grimm, the season 5 winner of “America’s Got Talent”, is currently hospitalized and sedated amid a mysterious illness.
The 44-year-old singer’s wife, Lucie Zolverva-Grimm, took to her husband’s Instagram account on Tuesday and shared an update with friends and family about Grimm’s condition. He’s currently in intensive care and has been hospitalized since Memorial Day. In the video, Lucie described Grimm as not feeling well for some time, saying he was looking “sickly” and was “fussy.”
At first, Lucie said, she thought Grimm may have had a stroke but “that wasn’t the case.” She said there were signs he wasn’t feeling well, like lacking energy and struggling to finish recent performances. It got to the point that he could barely walk and struggled to even lift his head.
He was then taken to the hospital where his health continued to decline. He started talking...

The 2007-08 writers strike is widely credited with helping to ramp up the presence of unscripted television on broadcast and cable.
This year’s labor action, however, is not expected to have the same positive impact that the last writers strike did, and a confluence of events could mean that many of the top non-scripted shows are also hit.
“It’s not going to be a carefree, hot girl, reality summer,” one producer told Deadline.
Some of the popular game shows are already WGA productions. Jeopardy!, for instance, is written by WGA writers. While the long-running daytime prepares its questions in advance of a season, the worry is that a long strike would hit these types of shows, not to mention talent, such as hosts like Mayim Bialik, could want to show solidarity with the writers.

“America’s Got Talent” crowned its 15th champion on Wednesday night after what was one of reality TV’s most unconventional seasons. Due to the global pandemic, the show adapted to incorporate video submission auditions, a modified Judge Cuts round then quarter- and semi-final rounds that included live performances from the Universal Studios lot as well as some pre-recorded or via satellite from different parts of the world. Simon Cowell was absent from the second half of the season while recovering from surgery, leaving Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and new judge Sofia Vergara alone on the panel.
With the country still semi-locked down and the need for social distancing and safety requirements on set still in place, where will “AGT” go from here? We hope they’ll see the successes of season 15’s adjustments and adapt them to a third season of the hit spin-off “America’s Got Talent: The Champions.” Another...

For the first three seasons of “The Masked Singer,” only the studio audience got to weigh in with their votes on the best and worst contestants. That feedback helped the four judges make their decisions. The singer with the least support was eliminated at the end of each episode, with a jaw-dropping reveal as host Nick Cannon helped them remove their elaborate costume.
For season 4, producers have listened to us and found a way for the home audience to participate in the process. We still aren’t getting live episodes, like other singing shows such as “The Voice” and “American Idol.” That would have allowed all of America to take part in picking out those celebrities who continue in the quest for the Golden Mask and those who are eliminated.
Instead, taking a page from “America’s Got Talent: The Champions,” the powers-that-be at “The Masked Singer” have assembled a group of super fans.

European broadcasting group Rtl, whose bouquet of companies include “American Idol” producer Fremantle, has seen group revenue down 16.4% to €2.7 billion ($3.3 billion) in the first half of 2020, according to half-yearly results declared on Thursday.
Adjusted earnings before interest and amortization (Ebita) fell 52% to €258 million ($305 million).
Fremantle’s half-yearly Ebita stood at €23 million ($27.2 million), less than half of the €52 million ($61.5 million) achieved during the same period last year. Revenues dropped from €828 million ($979 million) to €707 million ($836 million). The decline was “mainly due to fewer deliveries of shows and postponements of productions as a result of the Covid-19 impact on numerous territories,” Rtl said.
The overall group downturn was due to the Covid-19 outbreak across Europe in the second quarter of the year, that led to a year-on-year fall of 40% in advertising revenue. However, this fall would be down to 10% in the third quarter, the group estimates, but is unable to provide an outlook for the full year,...

NBC’s long-running reality TV show “America’s Got Talent” has had its fair share of successful winners over the years. But none has struck a chord with viewers more than ventriloquist Darci Lynne Farmer. This talented tyke from Season 12 has become one of the most viral acts ever, with her original 2017 audition racking up more than 350,000,000 views. In our recent poll asking fans to name their favorite “Agt” winner of all time, Darci Lynne unsurprisingly topped the list at 38%. Only three other champs came in with double-digit support: close-up magician Shin Lim in second place at 18%, singer/ukuleleist Grace VanderWaal in third place at 12% and singer/pianist Kodi Lee in fourth place at 10%.

“America’s Got Talent” has gone through many different facelifts at the judging panel, but one person has stayed put for the past 11 seasons: Howie Mandel. This Canadian comedian originally joined up with NBC’s reality TV show in Season 5, where he had big shows to fill as David Hasselhoff‘s replacement. Howie sat beside Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne for two seasons, with Howard Stern stepping in for Piers in Season 7 and Heidi Klum & Mel B taking over for Sharon in Season 8.
Over the past decade Howie has made a name for himself as the funniest and wildest panelist, but also someone with a keen eye for talent. In fact, his Golden Buzzer Grace VanderWaal ended up winning Season 11 and becoming one of the most successful “Agt” acts of all time. Below, see our four reasons why Howie Mandel is simply the best judge on “America’s Got Talent.”

Every year, the NBC television network airs new and continuing TV series. Many are cancelled and many are renewed by the season's end. Although everyone understands that Nielsen ratings usually play a big role in TV cancellations and renewals, most fans do not get to participate in that system. So, we are offering you the chance to rate NBC TV shows here, instead.

What do you think of new “America’s Got Talent” judge Sofia Vergara? She joined the show for season 15 as one of the replacements for Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough, who were bounced after just one year on “Agt.” The other woman on the panel is returning fan favorite Heidi Klum.
Do you think Sofia has the same knack for spotting for talent as the last actress to serve on the judging panel? Remember, Gabrielle gave her Golden Buzzer to singer/pianist Kodi Lee. He went on to win “America’s Got Talent” 2019. Surprisingly, Lee did not number among the 40 acts vying for the win on season 2 of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions.”

Has “America’s Got Talent” found its own version of Strauss Serpent? That 2017 winner of “Africa’s Got Talent” was a contortionist who twisted and bent his arms, legs and torso into nightmarish positions. Strauss became such a hit overseas that he was asked to participate in Season 2 of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions,” which aired earlier this year. In NBC’s sneak peek video for Tuesday’s episode of “Agt” Season 15 (watch above), viewers are introduced to Frenchie Babyy, a 25-year-old dancer from the Bay Area who appears to be just as talented as Strauss.
“I started dancing actually when I discovered this amazing dance battle down the street from my school,” Frenchie tells host Terry Crews. “From there, I was hooked. Now I became a dancing machine, just dancing everywhere.” The green-haired performer reveals he’s estranged from his parents because they don’t approve of his talent — they...

Since mid-March, the coronavirus pandemic has upended every aspect of life in the United States, causing stay-at-home mandates in most states in an attempt to contain the spread of Covid-19.
As a consequence, the entertainment industry — a multi-billion-dollar global business — has come to a grinding halt, with every television show and movie indefinitely shut down, putting most of the tens of thousands of people employed by those productions out of work. The shutterings hit the broadcast networks — Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, and The CW — toward the end of the traditional TV season, so some shows had already completed production before the summer hiatus. Others — such as ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” which had shot 21 episodes of its 25-episode order — simply had to adjust accordingly, concluding its season early on April 9.
The bigger concern for the networks is what to do with their fall 2020 schedules, which under normal circumstances would have been unveiled to advertisers,...

One of the most successful contestants to ever come out of “America’s Got Talent,” opera singer Jackie Evancho, now age 20, made a return trip to the franchise during the 2019 spinoff series “America’s Got Talent: The Champions.” With “Agt” set to return this summer on NBC, we thought it was the perfect time to revisit Evancho’s most powerful performance on the reality TV stage. In the Season 1 finale of “The Champions,” the then-18-year-old gave us all goosebumps by singing Barbra Streisand‘s “Somewhere” while donning a blue ballgown (watch above).
Judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B and Heidi Klum were all speechless as they watched Evancho do her thing. Weeks earlier she had been eliminated in the first round of competition, but she still accepted their invitation to return in the finale’s results show for this non-competitive performance.

What a difference a year makes. NBC on Monday released the first photo of America’s Got Talent‘s Season 15 judges panel, and there’s been quite a shake-up.
As previously reported, Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum are filling the seats left vacant by Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough, both of whom were let go after just one season. This marks Vergara’s first time appearing on Agt, whereas Klum already served as a judge from 2013–2018; she also judged both seasons of America’s Got Talent: The Champions.

After seeing the 10 finalists on “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” performance finale Monday night I am 100% certain that India’s acrobatic dance group V.Unbeatable is going to win. The dancers earned their spot in the finale after Howie Mandel hit his Golden Buzzer for their first performance in the preliminaries. Because of that, they haven’t had to perform yet for the Superfans vote, but my guess is that the voters from all 50 states will be gobsmacked by their final routine. Watch their finale performance above and then hear me out on my five reasons why they’ll win.

1. Athleticism
When you look at the 10 finalists this season, a handful of them exhibit stellar athleticism. Duo Transcend and Sandou Trio Russian Bar are at the top of their games, but compared to V.

The Top 10 acts of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” Season 2 performed Monday night for their final chance of impressing the superfan voters. One such act, Alexa Lauenburger, gave it her all with her cute troupe of talented dogs doing the conga, but Simon Cowell simply wasn’t impressed. “I think you’ve just blown your chance of winning the show,” he hissed. Alexa, age 11, is not used to hearing negative criticism as she previously won “Germany’s Got Talent” Season 11. However, she took Simon’s pooh-poohing of her act like a champ, even as the studio audience booed the notoriously mean judge. Read the judges’ complete comments below.
Alesha Dixon: “This is so much pressure tonight. You’ve put a new routine on. You pulled out some new tricks. And that last trick? You nailed it when you had all the dogs in line. You know what? It’s a tough,...

How is it that on the performance finale of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” two of the 10 acts received a red X from one of the judges? Howie Mandel was not a fan of the dancing storm troopers Boogie Storm and Simon Cowell was equally unimpressed with jack of all trades entertainer Hans (watch above). Both performers came to the finals with their own share of controversy which likely contributed to the underwhelming responses from the male judges.
On Boogie Storm’s preliminary night it was Howie who was in control of the Golden Buzzer, but Simon took that power from him when he hit the buzzer to send his favorite act of all time straight to the finals. Simon has always been a major fan of the costumed storm troopers, claiming on Monday night that they bring a message of hope that storm troopers can be seen as not...

Monday night the 10 finalists of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” season 2 performed their final routines for the votes of the “Agt” Superfans. The finalists showed a wide range of talents this year, including three acrobatic acts: American trapeze artists Duo Transcend and Sandou Trio Russian Bar, as well as India’s acrobatic dance group V.Unbeatable who are in turn joined by two other dance groups: Britain’s Boogie Storm and America’s Silhouettes.
Then there’s Germany’s Alexa Lauenberg and her multi-talented dogs whose act is very different from the musical-based talents of singers Angelina Jordan and Marcelito Pomoy as well as violinist Tyler Butler-Figueroa. And rounding out the slate of finalists is, of course, Hans, the accordion playing singer-dancer who is pretty much every talent in the competition rolled into one.
