Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- The solid ratings enjoyed by "Last Comic Standing" and "America's Got Talent" have earned both unscripted NBC series a renewal from the U.S. TV network.
With the two series enjoying a successful summer in terms of ratings, NBC executives decided to renew "Comic" for a sixth season and give "Talent" a third season to find unknown stars, Variety reported.
"Both of these innovative series have proven to be summer staples and important franchises for NBC," network alternative programming exec Craig Plestis said.
"Comic" has averaged an audience of 6.7 million viewers during its run, while "Talent" has enjoyed greater success with an average audience of 12.1 million viewers.
The series' ratings were solidified this summer through massive makeovers of their base concepts, Variety said.
Each series was given new hosts to introduce their featured amateur performers and new judges to determine the season's final winners.
