"America's Got Talent" works because it's perfect summertime no-brain entertainment.  But somehow NBC keeps thinking that they can extend the franchise into the rest of the year.  "AGT--The Champions" limped for two seasons in 2019 and 2020 and "AGT Extreme" bombed earlier this year, but the net is muscling on and has announced for next year "America's Got Talent All-Stars," which sounds similar to "Champions" except they will include acts that didn't win but went viral:

 
Terry Crews will once again attempt to host and fail, with the same panel with the exception of Sofia Vergara, and isn't it interesting that a show called "America's Got Talent" has a judge panel of a Brit, a Canadian, a German and a Colombian.

AGT’s cut-to-host-during-act might be the single worst aspect of any of these wretched competition shows. It adds NOTHING. It distracts from the talent that America supposedly got.

And that's because they did it with Ant and Dec on the UK version.  They didn't cut away to Regis the one year he hosted.

You can’t really dunk on NBC for trying to make another hour of AGT work. That and Dick Wolf dramas are all they have.

I can dunk on NBC… the limitations are self imposed… they could be investing in their future, but they — more so than the other networks — seem to fully reject new ideas.
