''Got Talent'' is a talent show television format conceived and owned by Simon Cowell's SYCOtv company. A pilot was made in the United Kingdom in 2005, hosted by Paul O'Grady, but after O'Grady's split with ITV, the series was postponed, resulting in ''America's Got Talent'' – the first full series of the format. It has spawned spin-offs in over 58 countries (as of April 2014), in what is now referred to as the ''Got Talent'' format,〔 similar to that described by FremantleMedia of the ''Idol'' and ''The X Factor'' formats. In April 2014, the format was named the world's most successful reality TV format ever by the Guinness World Records. ==History== ''Got Talent'' was an invention by ''The X Factor'' creator Simon Cowell, with comedian and talk show host Paul O'Grady producing a pilot for ITV in 2005 under the provisional title ''Paul O'Grady's Got Talent''.〔http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/paul-ogrady-i-gave-up-chance-1691840〕 O'Grady left the network after disputes with ITV, resulting in Cowell moving the concept to the United States while he and ITV searched for a new show host. Due to these issues, the ''Got Talent'' franchise ended up debuting first as ''America's Got Talent'' on NBC on 21 June 2006, with judges David Hasselhoff, Brandy Norwood, and Piers Morgan. The show's original series was hosted by Regis Philbin. In 2014, the judging panel consisted of Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Melanie Brown, and Howard Stern, and hosted by Nick Cannon, who has been the presenter since 2009.〔People Magazine, (Heidi Klum Joins America's Got Talent ), 03/04/2013.〕 The grand prize on ''America's Got Talent'' is $1 million, and, since season 3, a chance to headline a show on the Las Vegas Strip. ''America's Got Talent'' proved extremely successful for NBC, pulling in high ratings in both total viewers and the younger 18-49 demographic. The show's initial success in America is credited with the eventual launch of the British series, and the overall global launch of the ''Got Talent'' franchise. ITV eventually debuted ''Britain's Got Talent'' on 9 June 2007 with Cowell, Morgan and Amanda Holden as judges, and Ant & Dec as hosts of the show. For series 5, Morgan stepped down due to commitments hosting ''Piers Morgan Tonight'' on CNN, and Cowell only attended the live shows as he was busy launching ''The X Factor USA'', so Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff joined the panel with Holden. In October 2011, it was confirmed that McIntyre and Hasselhoff would not return for series 6 and they were replaced by David Walliams and Alesha Dixon, along with Cowell returning as a judge full-time. The top prize is £250,000 (£100,000 in series 1-5 and £500,000 in series 6) and a performance at the Royal Variety Show in front of the British Royal Family. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Got Talent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
