Reality TV > America's Got Talent Goes to 80 Countries

August 14, 2007

Written by David Morgan

America's Got Talent has proven so popular that the program has been sold to 80 different countries throughout Asia, the Americas, and Europe, according to . Once and for all demonstrating the superiority and dominance of America to the world! USA! USA!

Then again maybe other countries will view it in the same light we view Takeshi Kitano suspending himself from a harness above an enormous pot of boiling water trying to dip his ramen.

The format itself has been sold to 16 different countries. I know Australia and Britain are at least two of them (thanks, Youtube). You have to wonder if it's a cliche in UK Reality TV to have an American judge who's harder to please than the other two natives. For jokes about the other sixteen countries who are taking on this format, look no further than the recently completed Conan Hates My Homeland.
