The NBA finals game last night between the Heat and the Mavericks did not draw too much attention away from the premiere of
America's Got Talent, which beat the game's ratings by a small margin.
The Heat/Mavericks game had 13.9 million viewers, a respectable number (and up 22% versus last year's Lakers/Celtics game). But
America's Got Talent swept the evening with 16.71 million viewers, up 17% versus last year's season premiere. Acts on
Talent offered singers, dancers and a guy juggling live stun guns.

America's Got Talent must have hung around for
