What Time Is The ‘America's Got Talent' Premiere? All About Season 20
Howie Mandel, Mel B, Terry Crews, Sofía Vergara, and Simon Cowell appear on America's Got Talent ... More Season 20.
A brand-new season of America's Got Talent is airing on Tuesday, May 27, on NBC. There's a major change to the judging panel for Season 20, so read on to learn everything you need to know before the premiere.
Terry Crews returns as host of NBC's long-running talent competition. Created by Simon Cowell, the show features performers from across the country and around the world auditioning for the judges to showcase a variety of talents, from singing and dancing to magic and stunts. The competition begins with auditions before moving into the live portion of the show, where contestants perform in front of audiences and earn votes from the public.
Contestants can fast-track their way to the live shows with a Golden Buzzer, a special feature that allows standout performers to bypass the earlier rounds of the competition. In Season 19, a major Golden Buzzer change was introduced, allowing each judge to use the Golden Buzzer twice and send two acts directly to the live shows. Crews will also have a single Golden Buzzer to use, bringing the total to nine Golden Buzzers available in Season 20.
The AGT winner is not only crowned the champion of the season, but also takes home a $1 million cash prize and gets the opportunity to headline a show on the Las Vegas Strip. Here's everything to know about America's Got Talent Season 20, including the premiere time, release schedule, which judge is not returning and more.

Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofía Vergara, and Melanie "Mel B" Brown are the judges for Season 20 of AGT.
Mel B is replacing model and actress Heidi Klum, who is stepping down as a judge this season. The Spice Girls singer returns to the judging panel after previously appearing on Seasons 8 through 13 of AGT, Season 1 of AGT: The Champions, and the 2024 Fantasy League spinoff.
Cowell, who created the Got Talent franchise and serves as an executive producer, told NBC Insider that he's 'really excited to meet the contestants' who will audition this year. 'Over the years, we have seen some amazing acts and met some truly incredible people,' he continued. 'It's true that two or three minutes can change your life.'
Canadian TV personality Howie Mandel is also marking his impressive 15th year as a judge on AGT. Joining him is Modern Family actress Sofía Vergara, who begins her sixth season after a brief hiatus from the spinoff America's Got Talent: Fantasy League last year.

Indiana native and janitor Richard Goodall was named the Season 19 AGT winner after impressing the world with his powerhouse vocals. For his finale performance, he sang 'Don't Stop Believin'' alongside several members of Journey, a nod to his Golden Buzzer audition.
In November 2024, Goodall told NBC Insider that he's still working as a janitor at West Vigo High while continuing to grow his music career.
"I'm still at the school, but things are going on behind the scenes, you know, some concerts are popping up," Goodall revealed. 'I'm actually leaving tomorrow for Riverside, California, to do a festival lights thing... A lot of amazing things are just popping up, and so I'll continue to work at the school until, you know, I can't anymore.'

Bulldog Charms Guests at Wedding, Joins Bride and Groom's First Dance (Exclusive)
Bruno Jham and Beth Dunfee incorporated their 3-year-old pet English bulldog, Pancake, into their wedding reception on May 31 "She's just such a central part of everything we do. I couldn't imagine such a big ceremony without her being present," the groom tells PEOPLE Pancake was "super excited" for all of the attention from guests, and to join her owners for their first danceA bride and groom's beloved bulldog adorably stole the attention at their wedding. Three years after Bruno Jham and Beth Dunfee started dating, they adopted their first and only pet together, an English bulldog named Pancake. When the couple decided to get married, they knew they couldn't do so without their fur baby by their side. So, they hosted their wedding reception at their home following their courthouse ceremony in Chicago on May 31. "Pancake is just such an important part of our lives," Jham tells PEOPLE. "She's just such a central part of everything we do. I couldn't imagine such a big ceremony without her being present." The 3-year-old dog — who has nearly 125,000 followers on TikTok and 100,000 followers on Instagram — loved all the attention at the wedding. She wiggled in excitement and even peed "sprinkles of joy" as she greeted guests while wearing a custom white dress with a large silver bow. "She was incredibly happy just to be around so many different people," Jham says. "Everybody gives her attention, and she just loves being around people. She's more of a human. She likes humans more than other dogs, I would say." Pancake was "super excited" to be around all the kids at the wedding. "There was a little girl who was just following her around all night, wouldn't leave her alone, so Pancake was really part of the party," Jham says. "She was just doing her thing, hanging out with other guests, and she was just feeling very comfortable with the whole thing." is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! Although Pancake would eventually ditch her party dress, she wasn't finished partying. When Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" began playing, she knew it was her time to shine, and joined her owners for a portion of their first dance. "Something old, something new and something with jowls," Jham captioned footage of the dance, which was shared on social media. "She was right next to us, so we were like, 'Let's have her be a part of it since she's so special to us,' " Jham remembers. When the music stopped, Pancake began barking. The bulldog, who is known as "The Baby Pancake" online, "wanted more." Afterward, Jham and Dunfee — who started dating in 2018 and got Pancake in 2021 — posed with Pancake as a caricaturist drew a portrait of them. They then took photos together in a photo booth. Jham teases that Pancake has a "duo personality." "She's super loving and sweet at one point, and then she gets super sassy and feisty at other times of the day," he says. "We joke that she likes to attack us. She's just [a] really fun and loving dog, and we are very happy to have her in our life." The wedding was "the highlight of her week." Spending time with so many people at once was admittedly "exhausting" for Pancake, who "slept for two days after the party." However, Jham points out that's not actually too different from her usual routine of "just sleeping all day." Read the original article on People
