If you haven't been watching America's Got Talent this summer, you haven't missed too much. I watch this show every week and kick myself the whole time, but I still watch. Where to start....the judges:

Piers Morgan : Before winning "celebrity" Apprentice this guy's claim to fame was being the other guy with Simon Cowel on Britain's Got Talent. I am not sure what Piers has ever done in the entertainment business to make him qualified, but I think he is qualified by virtue of his British accent. He tries to play the Simon role, but Simon is far more intelligent and in on the joke. Where Piers takes himself too serious, Simon is laughing at how ridiculous reality shows are, but counting his millions.

Sharon Osbourne: Imagine Paula Abdul, without the crazy clothes, ridiculous proclamations and overall craziness. She brings nothing to this show. The producers broke the formula when they replaced pop diva and star of "Moesha" Brandy with Sharon. They have two Brits on the panel and it is like watching one of those comedies on PBS that aren't funny but the British studio audience is cracking up. How cheeky.

David Hasselhoff: Moronic, sub-moronic. He might be the least intelligent person posing as a person with intelligence on television(David Gregory a close second). He has his catch phrase, "you are what this show's all about," and finds a away to work it into every episode. By now it is so scripted they don't even need to have the judges in the same room as the acts. Hasselhoff drools over any female contestant in booty shorts regardless of age(I've seen him scoping some of those teenage dance troupes).

Nick Cannon: I actually like him. He replaced an all time Bump favorite, Jerry Springer and has done a decent job actually keeping the show moving. His side comments and ability to handle the freakier guests make him a pretty good host. They definitely cut to him way too much but that's the producers/directors not Nick's fault.

Anyway, I bitch and moan but I will watch this until the finale in September. This show has actually produced one star, season two winner and ventriloquist Terry Fador. He headlines the main show at the Mirage a spot formerly held by Sigfried and Roy. That one success is more than have ever been on the Bachelor or Bachelorette. My only advice is stop putting through so many singers, if we want singers we can watch American Idol. This show should focus more on the contortionists, jugglers, magicians, acrobats, slam dunk teams, rollerskating break dancers.
Tune in on Tuesday night and check out the next act who is what that show's about.
