MIND THE GAP

Got Talent is a talent show, created by Simon Cowell, which showcases several artistic disciplines. The show first debuted as America's Got Talent on June 21, 2006. The show demonstrated tremendous success as it achieved high ratings in total viewers and the 18 – 49 demographic. The initial success of America's Got Talent is credited with the eventual launch of Britain's Got Talent on June 9, 2007. The Got Talent Franchise has now spawned spin-offs in more than 70 countries worldwide and was named the most successful reality TV format ever by Guinness World Records in 2004.

Trivia:
