American Idol judge Simon Cowell and the producers of American Idol are looking for talented people to compete on the upcoming competition series America's Got Talent. They are describing the show, which will air next summer on NBC, as "the largest and most comprehensive talent search the country has ever seen." Unlike American Idol, America's Got Talent will welcome dancers, comedians, and novelty acts -- not just singers.

"This is the show I've always wanted to make," Simon said in a press release.

If you've "got talent," you may audition for the show at the following casting calls:

* Los Angeles -- April 6, 7 and 8 -- Sheraton Los Angeles Downtown Hotel, 711 South Hope Street (south side of Wilshire), Los Angeles, 90017. APRIL 6 -- official kickoff with Simon Cowell

* Chicago -- April 12 and 13 -- The W Hotel (Chicago City Center), 172 West Adams Street, Chicago, IL 60603

* New York City -- April 17 -- The Westin Hotel Times Square, 270 West 43rd Street, New York, NY 10036

* East Elmhurst, New York -- April 19 -- The Crowne Plaza Hotel (LaGuardia Airport area), 104-04 Ditmars Blvd., East Elmhurst, NY 11369

* Atlanta -- April 22 and 23 -- America's Mart, Building #2 (Atlanta Gift Mart), 230 Spring St., Atlanta, GA 30303
