America's Got Talent (season 11)

The eleventh season of American talent show competition series America's Got Talent was broadcast on NBC from May 31 to September 11, 2016; due to the network's live coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics, the program was forced to take a hiatus in August to avoid clashing with this. Following the previous season, Howard Stern left the program, leading not only to him being replaced by Simon Cowell, but with live rounds being moved back to Los Angeles, and held in the Dolby Theatre. In addition, the golden buzzer format was amended further to allow the host to use it in the first stage of auditions, alongside the main judges. The guest judges for Judge Cuts this season included George Lopez, Reba McEntire, Ne-Yo, and Louis Tomlinson.
