Canada's Got Talent will be a Canadian reality television series set to debut on the Citytv television network in March 2012,[1] and part of the global British Got Talent franchise (which Citytv already airs the American version of, among numerous others countries around the world).[2]
Canada's Got Talent is a talent show that features singers, dancers, magicians, comedians, and other performers of all ages competing for a cash prize of $100,000 and a booking to perform in an as-yet-unnamed Las Vegas venue.[3]
The first season of Canada's Got Talent will air on CityTV across Canada (and on other TV stations across the country, where there is no CityTV station), starting on March 4, 2012.
Preliminary auditions for the first season of Canada's Got Talent took place during fall 2011 and continue into January 2012. Auditions for the show take place in Winnipeg, Edmonton, Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto and Halifax.[1]
Those chosen by the producers to perform in front of the host, judges and live audience were invited back, starting in Calgary on October 18 and 19. The production tour then moves on to each of the original cities, in October, November and December 2011.[4][5] Those chosen by the panel of judges will then go on to Toronto for the next round, complete with audience voting, in spring 2012.[6]
Canadian comedian and actor Martin Short was announced as the first judge on October 13, 2011. On October 17, opera singer Measha Brueggergosman and muscian Stephan Moccio were announced as the two judges who will be joining Short at the table. CityTV Toronto personality, and Breakfast Television host Dina Pugliese is the host of the show.
Canadian illusionist Ryan Joyce claims to already know the name of the first season's winner, and says he will keep his prediction in public view and reveal his prediction at the conclusion of the show.[7]
