Americas Got Talent Season 11

A weekly talent competition where an array of performers -- from singers and dancers, to comedians and novelty acts -- vie for a $1 million cash prize.

Season eleven of America's Got Talent premiered on NBC on Tuesday, May 31, 2016. Nick Cannon returned for his eighth season as host. Howie Mandel returned for his seventh season as a judge, while Mel B and Heidi Klum each returned for their fourth season. Simon Cowell replaced Howard Stern as the fourth judge. The live shows began on July 26 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, instead of Radio City Music Hall in New York (which was the location in previous years). Due to the 2016 Summer Olympics broadcast schedule on NBC, the show took a hiatus from August 9–17.

Dunkin' Donuts sponsored the show for a second season, which again featured the golden buzzer for each judge and Cannon. Four guest judges joined the panel for the judge's cuts: George Lopez, Reba McEntire, Ne-Yo, and Louis Tomlinson. Each of them was also given a golden buzzer.
