Fifteen years ago one show transformed summer television and reinvented the talent contest in America. It has since expanded all over the globe to showcase the widest range of dangerous, funny, heart-warming, stomach-churning and incredible auditions imaginable.

To commemorate its 15-year milestone, “America’s Got Talent” took us back through some of the most epic performances throughout the years and unveiled its Top 15 Most Viral Moments. Below, follow along as we recap all those moments in our minute-by-minute blog of the “15th Anniversary Special.”

8:02 p.m. – Host Terry Crews broke down the series statistics: 5 hosts, 12 judges, over 200,000 auditions and over 15 billion online views.

8:03 p.m. – Series creator and current judge Simon Cowell, admitted that the show was hard to sell at first, due in large part to a “terrible” pilot. Based on the clip he showed us, we know the show improved and as he said “the concept was great.

The upcoming Tuesday, June 30 episode of “America’s Got Talent” will look slightly different, as there’s no studio audience in attendance due to concerns about the coronavirus. Despite the lack of cheering fans, daredevil Wesley Williams, aka the One Wheel Wonder, dominates the “Agt” stage with his dangerous act. In Gold Derby’s exclusive clip (watch above), host Terry Crews helps him climb a ladder, then Wesley takes off on his six-foot-tall unicycle. At one point a stagehand gives him some pointy knives, and the judges watch in horror as he juggles them from his position high up in the air.

When aerialist Alan Silva takes the stage during Tuesday’s episode of “America’s Got Talent,” he will do something he’s never done before: perform in front of his wife and kids. This Brazilian-born artist, who’s now an American citizen, explains, “I come from a circus family so I love to perform, but people always told me that I should just be a clown because of my size. I’ve been bullied my entire life and people judge me for my appearance, so I’m a little bit nervous about that.” In the sneak peek video above, watch how Alan defies his bullies by flying through the air on aerial silks.

From singers to dancers to danger acts and everything in between, “America’s Got Talent” is TV’s only competition show that embraces all forms of variety acts. Throughout its 15 years on the air, seven singers have claimed victory with the others being a mix of ventriloquists, magicians, etc. (See the “Agt” winners list.) However, there are five specific variety acts that have yet to win the top prize of $1 million and a headline show in Las Vegas. Can any of these acts make history for “America’s Got Talent” in Season 15?

Comedians

Stand-up comics have come so close to winning over the years, but none have ever claimed the top trophy. Tom Cotter in Season 7, Taylor Williamson in Season 8 and Drew Lynch in Season 10 were all runners-up on their respective years. Can any of the Season 15 comedians pull through in the end? So far we’ve seen Usama Siddiquee give it his all on the stage,...

Six of the 11 acts that took to the stage on Tuesday’s second live semifinal of “America’s Got Talent” were eliminated from the competition during Wednesday’s results episode. All of those that were bounced had been good enough to make it through the audition process and survive the judge cuts phase. But they did not win over enough viewers to number among the five acts that move on to the finals of season 13 of “Agt” next week.

Those that didn’t make the cut on live show 5 were the singers Noah Guthrie, Christina Wells and We Three; daredevil Aaron Crow; dance group Da RepubliK; and the 160-person Angel City Chorale.

The first of four episodes of “America’s Got Talent” dedicated to the judge cuts phase of the competition airs on July 17. Over the course of the previous six audition episode of “Agt,” the four judges — Mel B, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel — said yes to nearly 100 acts. Now they must cut these down to just three dozen who will get a chance to perform on the live shows that start on August 14.

Helping them make these tough decisions on July 17 is actor Ken Jeong. As with the regular panel, he also gets a Golden Buzzer that will send an act straight through to the quarter-finals. We have done a little digging and found out which 20 acts appear on the first episode in this round of the reality competition series.

Of these, only seven will survive and continue on in their quest to be crowned the season 13 winner.

“America’s Got Talent” fans have spoken, and they say the most annoying judge on Season 13 of NBC’s reality TV show is Mel B. Formerly known as Scary Spice of the worldwide super girl group The Spice Girls, Mel B came to “Agt” in 2013, along with Heidi Klum, as the replacement for Sharon Osbourne. Prior to the judges’ table Mel B had competed on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” where she came in second place and has enjoyed on-again, off-again hosting gigs on various “The X Factor” incarnations around the world.

He will help the four regular judges — Mel B, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel — cull some of the acts that they have sent through in the past six weeks of shows.

As with the original fearsome foursome, Jeong also gets a Golden Buzzer that can send an act straight through to the live shows.

Richard & Adam -...

Bruce Forsyth has called for Simon Cowell to launch a special Britain's Got Talent show just for children.

The Strictly Come Dancing host has continued his stance against kids appearing in TV talent shows, with Cowell calling him "Mr Grumpy" on Monday's first live semi-final.

The 85-year-old joked that the idea would arguably bring Cowell more income, telling The Sun: "I'm trying to make Simon money.

"If he had Britain's Children Got Talent as well he would make even more. The older performers on Britain's Got Talent are in the back seat at the moment because the children are always going to get the 'aaaah' factor, so he should have two separate shows.

"It's my idea so I think I should get a rake-off. I'm sure I could help him."

'Britain's Got Talent' acts were given a rude awakening in their hotel. The contestants - who included 11-year-old singer Arisxandra Libantino, comic Jack Carroll and illusionist Aaron Crow - were roused from their slumber at 7.45am and had to be evacuated from their London hotel when the fire alarm was accidentally set off. A source told The Sun newspaper: ''It was absolute chaos and all the acts were in a daze. A lot of the contestants caught up in it were performing later, so this was terrible preparation.'' Fan favourite Jack, 14, who suffers from cerebral palsy, had to be carried down the...

The first Britain's Got Talent Live Show got the week off to a typically dramatic start with Simon Cowell having a pop at Bruce Forsyth, an act firing an arrow at Dec's head, and a man dancing with a mop on primetime ITV.

Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon dazzled in revealing dresses, while Simon Cowell's shiny teeth and tan had Twitter talking about the talent show boss's looks.

Got Talent semi-finals - show 1:

Young singer Arisxandra and opera brothers Richard and Adam ended up winning the public vote, knocking out dance troupe Youth Creation, who finished third.

Impressionist Philip Green, stunt act Aaron Crow and musical acts Band of Voices, Bosom Buddies and J-Unity were also knocked out of the competition.

The most peculiar act of the evening was Martin Healy, who danced with a nun made out of a broom.

Britain's Got Talent continues its live shows...

Operatic brothers Richard and Adam and 11-year-old singer Arisxandra were the winners on tonight's first Britain's Got Talent live show of the series.

Richard and Adam topped the public vote, while Arisxandra nabbed the second spot ahead of dance troupe Youth Creation when Simon Cowell sent the judges' vote to deadlock.

Earlier in the evening, Cowell had defended the show's decision to have child acts, hitting out at criticism from Strictly Come Dancing host Bruce Forsyth.

However, Forsyth's comments about it being uncomfortable seeing child acts going through the "ordeal" of Bgt came back to haunt Cowell when he had to pick between Arisxandra and the young dance troupe.

Cowell initially asked whether both child acts could go to the final, but Ant & Dec pointed out that it would be impossible because of the money spent on the phone vote.

The public vote worked in favour of Arisxandra, who had...

Will David Walliams finally kiss Simon Cowell? How many times can Amanda Holden cry in one week? Why isn't there a dancing dog on the bill? There are lots of questions hanging over this week's Britain's Got Talent Live Semi-Finals and hopefully we'll get some answers over the next six days.

The first semi-final this evening features the usual smattering of singers, dancers, oddballs and Wtf-are-they-doing acts, and as always Ant & Dec are challenged with holding the whole thing together while a circus of tears and tantrums surrounds them.

22:01Well, that's all folks. One show down. Four more to go. Same time, same place tomorrow. We'll be here. Hopefully for laughs and a little bit more talent.

22:00Just time for Richard and Adam to come back on stage and thank their fans. They claim that they've been working hard on their act for years.

Simon Cowell is pulling up his trousers, Amanda Holden is practising her best cry-face and David Walliams is probably already dancing around Cowell in their dressing rooms. Yes, the Britain's Got Talent live semi-finals have arrived.

We can expect a whole smorgasboard of singers, dancers, kid performers with pushy parents and dodgy variety acts across the week and Digital Spy will be Live-Blogging the drama, interviewing the talent and reporting on the gossip throughout.

Semi-final one kicks off this evening (March 27) with eight acts all hoping to secure a spot in the Grand Final. In case your memories got a bit fuzzy and you can't remember your J Unity from your Bosom Buddies, here's a quick reminder of the contestants competing tonight.
