Wow...I did not think it was gonna be all prerecorded. So, it looks like there will be five "preliminary" rounds and then a semi-final and a final? Sounds like BGT format. On BGT there are 5 semifinals and then a finale, so maybe there will be 5 quarterfinals of 8ish acts (maybe 12 to be more like AGT), and 2 make it through from each of those plus 2 wildcards with a semifinals of 12 acts, then that is cut down to 6 acts for the finals. Does that mean we won't get to vote?

NBC's website says it is only a one-hour long series.
