America's Got Talent: All Stars
What's the Story?
AMERICA'S GOT TALENT: ALL STARS, a spinoff of the America's Got Talent franchise, features the top acts from AGT and Got Talent shows from around the world vying for a chance to be a winner among champions. Hosted by Terry Crews, the series begins with five rounds of 10 acts being performed by past winners and finalists, fan favorites, and acts that have gone viral. Judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel take turns choosing who'll get the Golden Buzzer at the end of each round and advance to the finals. "Superfans" also vote on a finalist. The 10 selected acts, along with an 11th "wild card" finalist, will compete for the title of All-Stars Champion and a $500K prize.

But this installment also gives U.S. audiences the opportunity to watch a wide variety of international acts. Some of these acts resonate with stateside audiences and judges better than others, but they're still celebrated as some of the most skilled, creative, and impressive in the Got Talent universe. Overall, America's Got Talent: All Stars offers lots of fun entertainment while reminding viewers of the global appeal the franchise enjoys.
