Simon Cowell plans new US reality show

Simon Cowell has reportedly devised 'America's Got Talent' for NBC, an open contest with a $1 million prize, with auditions due to begin next month.

Is there no stopping evil genius Simon Cowell and his ever-increasing reality show world domination? No, apparently not, because according to reports, he's come up with a new one. The new NBC show will be called 'America's Got Talent', will be open to anybody, and will see contestants compete to win a $1million prize. It's apparently a similar format to a proposed UK show that was announced last year, and that would resemble US seventies TV programme 'The Gong Show.'

It's not clear exactly when the series will be transmitted, but auditions for the programme are scheduled to begin next month across the US. Cowell himself has said he will not be appearing in the show.
