America's Got Talent Cast & Crew

"American Idol" producers Simon Cowell and Ken Warwick want to find the hottest variety and novelty acts in the country, so they held nationwide casting calls and are putting the finalists on TV. Each week, celebrity judges whittle down the group; ultimately, the American public chooses the winner. Could it be a ventriloquist? A mime? How 'bout a magician? Or even a contortionist? Bianca Ryan, an 11-year-old singer, was named the winner of the $1 million grand prize.<#$>Simon Cowell, Ken Warwick and Cecile Frot-Coutaz are the executive producers. Jason Raff ("Three Wishes) is the co-executive producer.
