What to watch on Tuesday: Some of the wildest acts ever on the new season of America's Got Talent

America's Got Talent

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: 8 p.m. on NBC

Season Premiere
The 16th season of "America's Got Talent" promises "some of the wildest acts ever to grace the stage" -- as if last season's pig tricks performance by the Pork Chop Review wasn't enough. And the pandemic must have spurned a lot of people to find their inner sword-swallower or puppeteer: there were a record number of submissions from across the country this year. Sofia Vergara is back as a judge, along with Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel. And Terry Crews once again has the mic. Bring on those talented fruit loops! —Lynette Rice
