Host Spiels[]
"Welcome to America's Got Talent, behind me is the world-famous entrance to Paramount Studios through these gates to have swept some of the most talented stars in the world but where is all that talent today, sure celebrities are a dime a dozen but I'm talking about real stars, well, it's not going so good is it so we are going on a quest to find them and we're gonna do it the old-fashioned way, holding auditions across America, we have thrown the doors open to absolutely anybody doing absolutely anything and when you do that this is what you got." - Regis Philbin
"Hundreds came to sign up for the registration process and for a million dollars they were prepared to do just about anything like whether they came as something hairy with something hairy, looking kind of scary, are you guys or what these astounding and slightly strange acts share one dream well to be the best talent in America, there are no rules, no age limits, for some no-talent but that didn't stop the hopefuls from showing off./This week we set up the registration process in my hometown the Big Apple where thousands of talented people took over Times Square New York attracts hopefuls from all over the country with dreams of making it big on Broadway, off-broadway, and way way off broadway. Our East Coast wannabes certainly didn't lack ambition. What ambition doesn't pay the bills but that's not going to stop our contenders from showing us./This week we headed to Illinois to find America's next opus and a final stop, drew more than just Chicago, hopeful, but wherever they came from they all wanted the same thing, the chance to show off, some came hoping to win the million dollar prize, while others hope that their kid would win it for them and no matter what the act, they all believed one thing." - Regis Philbin
"Look at this! Contestants from California and entire West Coast each and every single person in this audience is hoping to perform on stage tonight and proceed onto the semi-finals but one thing is for sure it better impress the heck out of three judges." - Regis Philbin (Los Angeles Auditions)
"Okay. Now remember we do not know what's coming in these auditions and if they're bad, we'll we want to stop them as soon as we can, so each judge has a button which lights up an X and it sounds like this David, Brandy, very nice, Piers. Oh my god we get the idea now if an act gets all three X's, they have seen enough/Now here is how auditions are run each judge has a X which they trigger when they've had enough of the act. David, show them yes, Brandy and Piers. Yeah, that's it, if an act gets all three of those X's like that, audition is over/We have no idea, what is coming up in these auditions and we want to make sure that we don't have to sit through too much nonsense up here, so we've given each judge a buzzer to press when they've had enough if an act gets all three X's, the audition is definitely over. Tonight, it's Chicago and Midwestern, let's see who blew in from The Windy City." - Regis Philbin explaining judges see a bad act
"Hello everybody. I'm Regis Philbin and welcome to the most outrageous auditions you will ever see on television. If you've got a talent, we're going to give you a shot at stake is a 1-million-dollar prize and all of these people are hoping to win it. Right. These are the contestants from the New York area and the East Coast now don't ask me what they're going to do up here just take a look at what happened when they came to register with us." - Regis Philbin (New York Auditions)
"Very much, welcome to the show. I'm Regis Philbin and I'm putting my neck on the line one more time by saying America's Got Talent and these acts are proved it, right, folks, yes, look like a good crowd tonight, the people in this audience are going to audition up here on the stage in hope of making it to the next round at stake as you know is a cool 1 million dollar prize but they've got to get these three judges." - Regis Philbin (Chicago Auditions)
"Hello, everybody, and welcome to America's Got Talent. I'm Regis Philbin and tonight the pressure is on because we've made it to the semi-finals. Yes. Finally, oh boy, anyway we've got a great big set, look at this, huh. Wow and the acts have got high hopes because the auditions are over, we are now turning up the heat out of all the acts you see tonight, only two will make it through the million-dollar finale. The judges will choose one and you, America, will choose the up, the question is have the contestants improved and will our judges be easy on them this time around."
"David Hasselhoff, Brandy, and from the UK, Piers Morgan/Let's hear the judges David Hasselhoff, Brandy, and Piers Morgan/First make some noise for the David Hasselhoff, everybody, the beautiful Brandy right here, be nice to the British guy, he's a long way from home, Piers Morgan/Let's hear incidentally for the judges beginning with the big Hasselhoff right there, the beautiful Brandy, and the unpredictable in the sinister Piers Morgan." - Regis Philbin
"Over the last three shows, the judges put 61 X's through to a semi-finals, and we have split them up into four groups to show you over the next four weeks now the first/next/third/last group arrived here in Los Angeles just knowing they had the talent to make it all the way." - Regis Philbin
I just remind you of how the auditions work, each act will take the walk the terror up these stairs through to the wings of the stage where they wait and wait for the big moment then it's out onto the stage where they come, face to face where the unique feature of America's Got Talent, the fourth judge, the audience, always the judges that make the final decision, three X's and the performance is over, for every act, one thing is certain this will be one of the most challenging auditions of their lives, like the games. People who open the show the auditions have come in to Dallas, it's the first day of the auditions as the Sun rises thousands are hoping to prove just one thing and inside everyone thinks their act is worthy of $1,000,000 prize. - Jerry Springer (Dallas Auditions)
"The auditions began in Dallas where there was some great talent and some of this, emotions ran high for the act, as well as for the judges, these people the show was blown into chaos with the two judges missing and a million dollars on the line, the huff was left to fend for himself, now tonight on America's Got Talent the gentle giant who will move you to tears, a fatal mistake not the Jerry Springer Show or is it. The people will make it through they must all avoid the dreaded X, three exes and their dream is over but for the act that do make it through it's off to Vegas to compete for one of the 20 places in the studio performance show then the voting will be handed over to you America and the top 20 will compete for your ropes and $1,000,000, welcome to America's Got Talent for this week we're in Los Angeles, la the entertainment capital of the world where celebrities grow on palm trees the audience is filling up contestants are getting ready in the holding room and all the judges have just arrived except for one is easier waiting for the star" - Jerry Springer (Los Angeles Auditions)
