Paul Telegdy, President of Alternative and Late Night Programming for NBC Entertainment, agreed with Greenblatt. Telegdy explained that the renewal of the series "is evidence that we [NBC] continue to hut our stride in delivery quality entertainment to a board viewership."

While there is often controversy amongst fans over cancelled and renewed programming, Telegdy believes that America's Got Talent should be rewarded for its strong performance in the ratings this year. All of the hard-working talented people... both behind and in front of the camera," he said, "Should feel very proud of their achievements."

So far the series has seen a number of accomplished musicians, bands, singers, magicians and comedians this season. With the audition round over, it will be up to the judges to decide who will continue in the competition.

America's Got Talent continues with eliminations on NBC Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
