American Idol mastermind Simon Cowell has grabbed Regis Philbin to host his new talent show America's Got Talent, which NBC probably hopes will be its own Idol.America's Got Talent won't be just singers though. There will also be dancers and jugglers and standup comics and everything in between. The first prize will be $1 million. The show starts on June 21 with a two hour special, then settles into its regular Wednesday time slot.
Wow, you know how the auditions for AI can be hideous. Can you imagine how awful some of the standup comics are going to be?

Regis does to much and thinks to highly of himself. Let someone else have a chance for fame and money - he doesn't need it.
