We just wrapped out of Portland!  It was our first trip and we found some amazing talent.

But now our tour for talent is done. If you missed us there is still time to be on the show - just send us a video of your act.

Thank you Atlanta. We had an amazing weekend and a huge turnout. It was our biggest auditions we've had in four years of coming to Atlanta. Thank you so much for your patience.

Our crew is now headed to Portland - to the last city for 2010 and the last chance to audition in person for Season 5.

We had a great turnout in Orlando. If you missed us, be sure to send us a video of your act.  Or come meet us in Atlanta, that's were we're headed next weekend.

The Dallas auditions were a huge success. We'll be contacting the acts that will be moving on to the next round by mid April at the latest.  We'll update the Dallas page with the latest news.

Our truck is headed to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida to hold auditions over the President's Day weekend.

This weekend’s LA auditions were a huge success.  After enduring a week of rain the weather in SoCal was beautiful and the turnout was a record breaker. Thank you to everyone who enthusiastically came out and patiently waited to show off their talent.  If you could not make it this weekend join us in another city or submit a video of your act.

We’ve packed up the America's Got Talent truck and it is headed southeast to Dallas for this weekend’s auditions. The last time we were in Dallas we found ventriloquist and season two winner, Terry Fator. We cannot wait to see the talent of Texas.

Howie Mandel will join NBC's hit summer series "America's Got Talent" as a new judge.  Mandel will join returning judges Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan along with host Nick Cannon.

The announcement was made by Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, NBC and Universal Media Studios.

"Howie is one of America's favorite entertainers and his sense of humor and energy are irrepressible," said Telegdy. "He's passionate about new talent and his years of experience across a variety of disciplines in entertainment, not to mention the fact that he headlines and performs in Vegas all the time, will bring new depth to our panel. He will be a real asset to our contestants and help them take their talents to the next level. We are thrilled to have him join Sharon and Piers and are sure that sparks will fly!"

We had another great trip to New York City -- our fifth in five years.  The Big Apple never disappoints. Despite Halloween and the NYC Marathon, thousands stopped by to show us their talent. Thanks NYC.  Here are some photos from the weekend:

Our first trip to Philly was amazing. We never had time to see the Liberty Bell, but we did see tons of talent.

We had an amazing turnout and auditioned thousands. Here's the coverage from the local NBC affilate.

We're still at the Pennsylvania Convention Center tomorrow, Oct 26.  Stop thinking about -- just come and see us.
