A former WWE Hall of Famer and an X Games gold medalist are helping NBC take America’s Got Talent to the extreme.
Nikki Bella and Travis Pastrana are joining Simon Cowell as judges of the upcoming AGT: Extreme. Meanwhile, Terry Crews will remain with the franchise as its host.
Expected to premiere midseason, this latest AGT offshoot “will showcase the most outrageous, unique and jaw-dropping acts of enormous scale and magnitude that simply cannot be confined to a theater stage. Each week contestants will go head-to-head in the most wild, intense and often times beautiful performances to vie for a $500,000 prize and the ultimate title, the champion of America’s Got Talent: Extreme.”

* Disney+ has released a trailer for the documentary Fauci, premiering Wednesday, Oct. 6:
Why do we need a documentary about Fauci? Why?
I tend to agree. I’m not one of those “ah he’s lying to us for big Pharma/Dems/Illuminati” but at best it seems premature and at worst seems to feed into the cult of personality that hurts his credibility.
I think America’s got talent extreme will completely bomb. I love shows like this usually but I have 0 interest with this show.
Me either.
There’s already The Go Big Show.
The picture of this woman is totally inappropriate and disappointing
What? Where?
Who? Nikki Bella? Who is showing off her belly button? Oh no look the other way! Close your eyes, it’s a belly button!! If I looked like that after giving birth, I’d flaunt it too.
I think you can still get I dream of Jeannie reruns on Tubi if you want.
Nikki Bella is a former WWE superstar.She will always be a Hall of Fame member,not former.
They said she a former WWE fighter, not a former hall of famer.
It’s a minor thing, but he’s not wrong. They said “A former WWE Hall of Famer” when they meant a former WWE fighter/wrestler, and a hall of famer or a Hall of fame former WWE wrestler. But that’s not how it was worded.
Highly anticipating the 500th episode of SVU. It deserved to be a 2-3 hour event, though!
