America's Got Talent Will Have New Twists, Audition Dates Announced

Tuesday September 26, 2006
When America's Got Talent returns in January, there will be a few changes to the NBC talent show.

  • We will hear more personal stories about the contestants.
  • Contestants will get expert help during a new boot camp phase of the competition. (Producer Simon Cowell says the contestants didn't get enough help last season.)
  • The top ten contestants will perform every week during the semifinals, and they will face elimination after every performance show.

The show's format may have changed, but its stars will remain the same. Regis Philbin will return as host and Piers Morgan, Brandy, and David Hasselhoff will be back to judge the contestants.

If you would like to audition for the new season, here are some audition dates:

Las Vegas Convention Center - October 3rd
