Why isn’t America’s Got Talent on this week?
Fans were upset with the popular competition series after it was revealed that it would be off-air for two weeks.
“We’re signing off, but mark your calendars! #AGT returns in TWO weeks,” AGT tweeted.
Nothing was said during the June 27 episode so many viewers were left confused about the sudden change.
At this time, the show has not commented on the shake-up, but many assume that it has to do with the upcoming holiday.
The 4th of July falls on a Tuesday this year, and NBC is expected to use AGT’s 8pm EST timeslot to host Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks.
Who are the America’s Got Talent judges?
Each week, viewers watch as acts audition before a panel of judges, who either say yay or nay.
On the show, AGT hopefuls must perform their unique acts in front of record executive Simon Cowell, actress Sofia Vergara, model Heidi Klum, and former Deal or No Deal host Howie Mandel.
All four judges have respected careers in their own rights, making them the perfect mix to judge all the acts that come across the age.

Is it free to audition for America’s Got Talent?
AGT sees countless acts each season ranging from singers and dancers to ventriloquists and magicians and everything else in between.
Some might think that the audition process is pricy, but that is simply not the case.
Auditioning for AGT can be time-consuming, but it is totally free.
“We have open call Auditions virtually to reach as many people as possible. Anybody can sign up and have an Audition with our casting team and producers,” Theresa Graham, NBC’s manager of unscripted formats, explained during an interview with NBC Insider.
“If they think that somebody is worth considering, they put them through to our executive producers. After they say yes, then the Act will go to audition in front of the Judges. We all see everything play out from there.
“Because it’s a variety show, they want to make sure they’re finding the best singers, dancers, contortionists, and more. Anybody with any talent can audition,” Graham added.
An AGT season takes place across 15 weeks and includes audition rounds, live show rounds, and finale rounds that all lead up to the final results.
