America's Got Talent: The Champions is a spin-off of America's Got Talent (also known as AGT), a televised American talent show competition which was created by Simon Cowell, produced by Fremantle, and broadcast on the NBC television network. It premiered on January 7, 2019.[1] The program's format is similar to that of the main edition, but features a variety of winners, finalists, and other successful or notable participants from the American and other international editions of the Got Talent franchise. They compete against each other in a series of preliminary episodes for a place in the finals,[2][3] with the winning finalist being crowned "World Champion" and receiving $25,000.[4][5]

In the first season, the series had seven episodes on consecutive Monday nights, and was hosted by Terry Crews. Plus, it featured the same four judges who appeared during the thirteenth season of America's Got Talent.[6] The competition resulted in Shin Lim, winner of the thirteenth season of AGT, finishing first, with singer-ventriloquist Darci Lynne Farmer, winner of the twelfth season of AGT, coming in second, and sand artist Kseniya Simonova, winner of the first season of UMT (Ukrayina maye talant), placing third.

On May 11, 2019, it was announced that the spin-off show had been renewed for a second season.[7]

Production

Simon Cowell was the first confirmed judge for the spin-off show. On July 27, 2018, it was confirmed that Mel B would also be a judge.[8][9] On September 27, 2018, it was announced that Terry Crews would host the show and that Heidi Klum as well as Howie Mandel would be joining the judging panel bringing all four judges from the main series at the time to the spinoff.[10]
