America's Got Talent (Los Angeles) Background

What's It Like At A Taping of AGT?

Overall, it is not a very good experience at a taping of America's Got Talent. One taping lasts over four hours and the taping just isn't much fun at all.

During the long taping of America's Got Talent the staff make the audience switch seats, ask them to scream at the top of your lungs and other general fake-ality rituals that TV shows want to make the at-home viewer think that the taping is one great party. Sadly, the show isn't that much fun at all, and after an hour of this, many people leave.

Audience Members Start To Lose Steam After An Hour

The arduous day of clapping, standing, shouting, screaming, crying and general audience mayhem is just exhausting and rather annoying. As an unpaid audience member you may want to leave thirty minutes in, as many people do. The audience management company may stand in your way, because they do get paid and you are their slave,

Audience Members Should Be Paid For This Show

The tickets for this TV show are free, but it is not the best TV show experience around, as there are other TV shows that are less huge and a great deal more personal and are also fun.

It is at these other TV shows where you can get up close and personal to the host celebrities and actually see the performer on the stage rather than view them from so far back that their facial expressions cannot be seen, unless you look at the giant TV screen - but if you have to do that, you could have done that at home.

No Drinks Supplied. No Food Supplied. No Free Parking Either

No drinks or food are supplied at this show and they will not pay for your parking, so this show is for hard core fans only, who are ready to commit to four hours of their life being entertained by sub-par entertainers after a long commute.

Fun Fact: Half The Theatre Is Empty

This show only brings in enough people to fill half the theatre. That is the number of people they need to make it look "full" as this is where they are pointing the TV cameras, and that is all that matters. After attending this show taping, many viewers are disappointed by their experience.

America's Got Talent Created By Simon Cowell

America's Got Talent was created in 2006 by former American Idol judge Simon Cowell. The show combs the nation for Americans who boast all kinds of talent, from dance skills to singing to circus tricks. The show's most significant talent finds so far have been young opera star Jackie Evancho and Vegas headliner Terry Fator. Cowell remains the producer of AGT.

Search To Find A Vegas Act

The show's mission (while providing entertainment to the TV masses) is to find an act that can open In Las Vegas and that can continue to sustain an audience long after the AGT show has ceased. Some of the competing shows in Las Vegas that a winner has to contend with are: Britney Spears, Ray Romano, David Spade, Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, David Copperfield, Jersey Boys, Cirque du Soleil Zarkana and The Beatles LOVE.

Show Moved From New York City To Los Angeles in 2021

NBC's hit TV show America's Got Talent (or AGT as it is often known) is now taped out of the Los Angeles area. The show stars regular people with talents and has boasted well-known judges Howard Stern, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Mel B. Former judges have also included Piers Morgan, David Hasselhoff, Brandy Norwood and Sharon Osbourne.

Rotating Cast of Hosts

Regis Philbin was the host for the first year of the show, Jerry Springer lasted two seasons and was then replaced by Nick Cannon, who has held the spot until he quit and Terry Crews took over. The show has found very few sustainable acts that can survive outside the AGT environs, so its really a reality show that does not produce any successes.

Hours Of Footage Is Edited Down

All the footage from an AGT taping is then edited down to the bare minimum, so the feel of this kind of show is labored and somewhat less compelling than a “Live” show, where it seems like anything could happen. Audiences in Hollywood would often be paid to attend these kinds of shows, but this one does not.

Live Shows Are Fast Tapings

The taped show also take a lot longer to shoot, often four hours, with re-shoots and lighting adjustments galore, which makes the audience restless and often bored. So bored in fact that they don’t come back, (especially given the amount of boos that they regularly receive after the production schedule flounders during taping) The live shows, in contrast are quick and fun and you can be in out and in 1.5 hours.

Getting The Right Balance on the Judges Table

The TV networks' face a dilemma with these kinds of talent shows. If they put too many producers on the judging panel, viewers will switch off in droves, but if they put too many artists on the judge panel, the quality of the winners suffers, because artists know very little about artist production and development and end up ruining good acts. This was seen when the American Idol judges were switched to all-artists,

Sharon Osborne Left The Show Under A Cloud

Sharon Osbourne has stated that she left America’s Got Talent because of the network, not the show. Sharon Osbourne left America’s Got Talent” n 2012 after six seasons on the show. Her departure surprised many, including network executives, but they were the ones that screwed her (and her son Jack) over.

AGT Goes To YouTube For Some Acts

To spice things up a bit, producers began adding acts that have only appeared on YouTube to the live shows. These acts have never appeared on TV before and have not even auditioned for anyone before, so they are often so nervous that they cannot hold it together, but it does make for exciting television. The taped shows never have any of these acts.
