Do 15 celebrities have what it takes to win? They're ready to perform for you…but there's just a small matter of impressing the Judges first.

Reality competition series showcasing the most outrageous, unique and jaw-dropping acts of enormous scale and magnitude that simply can’t be confined to a theater stage. Contestants will vie for a chance to win a $500,000 prize and the ultimate title, the champion of “America’s Got Talent: Extreme.”

《美国偶像》（American Idol ）的原型是英国电视节目《流行偶像》（Pop Idol）。2001年英国电视台推出选秀鼻祖节目《流行偶像》，首届落幕便挖掘出了三名歌坛优质偶像：威尔-扬(Will Young)、葛瑞-盖斯(Gareth Gates)和达拉斯(Darius)，一时间偶像旋风席卷全球。FOX广播公司慧眼识珠，以7000多万美元买下节目版权并加以适当改编，从2002年起每年主办一届，目的是发掘新一代的美国歌手，获得当季冠军的选手即为当年度的美国偶像，获得一纸价值百万美元的唱片合约。
