America's Got Talent season 19

During the finale of the previous season, it was announced that the entire main cast would return for the new season marking the fifth consecutive year the judging panel and host would remain the same. Filming of the auditions again happened at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in March and April 2024. Sonic Drive-In ended its sponsorship with the series, having been its sponsor for the last three seasons before the start of this season. The current sponsor was revealed to be Lavazza as featured in the end credits and on all of the judge's cups during the live shows. A two-week hiatus in the broadcast schedule was also made, to avoid the NBC's live coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics between July and August. == Season overview ==
