I've just started watching this show and noticed how many acts are
from outside of the USA. Why do they call it America's Got Talent?

This wasn’t true in the good old days of Regis and the Hoff.

I had begun to wonder myself when they made nick cannon host and it became
a moot point because I stopped watching the show.

It's been so long since I watched AGT that I don't remember from where the
contestants came, but I recall there was a big deal about this Russian guy
who did a Circque de Soleil act in an outragous costume.

Yeah, I lost all interest by the time Howard Stern and Nick Cannon joined.

Well, Nick Cannon is (thankfully) long gone from the show now, too,
so you could try watching again! I find I rather like Terry Crews
as host. They've had some pretty spectacular acts this season.

It happens on "Britain's Got Talent" too ... people from all over the
world, including Americans, are stupidly allowed to be on it, even when
their own country already has a local version of the show and/or
copy-cat shows.

It's called "America's Got Talent" and "Britain's Got Talent". If
you're not a resident of the country, you shouldn't be allowed on the
show. Simon Cowell could make even more money creating "World'Got
Talent" instead for all those without a local version in their own
country.

Plus, over 80% of the people on the shows have very little talent
anyway. Some have no talent at all and are only there for the audience
and viewers to laugh *at*.

*Being* laughed at is America's "talent" ... why else would anyone vote
for imbeciles like George Bush and Donald Trump to be their clown
representatives to the rest of the world and continue to pass laws that
the rest of the world left behind in the 1700s. :-p
