Host Nick Cannon presents a brand new fifth series of America’s most varied talent competition.
He is joined by judges Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne and a new panellist - comedian, TV presenter and actor Howie Mandel, who replaces David Hasselhoff.
Thousands of hopefuls have lined up around the US for their chance to audition in front of the judges and this time, tryouts come from Dallas, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando, Chicago and Portland, Oregon.
The contestants are hoping for a shot at fame and the life-changing prize of a million dollars, the headline slot on the America’s Got Talent Live Tour and the chance to perform at the Caesar's Palace Casino and Resort on the Las Vegas Strip.
The acts can be of any age and exhibit any talent, but they will have to stand out if they are to impress the judges – so expect some incredible, hilarious and surprising performers.
This week features the first six audition shows. Singers, dancers, illusionists, musicians and some performers with more unusual talents will be taking to the stage, hoping to make it through to the next round in Las Vegas.
Will any of the acts have what it takes to wow Piers, Sharon and Howie?
