BURBANK, Calif. � July 13, 2007 � NBC's sizzling summer series, "America's Got Talent," narrowed contestants down to the Top 20 in Wednesday's exciting "Las Vegas Callbacks" episode. Over the course of the second season, thousands of hopeful future stars from across the country auditioned to become the most talented act in America and win the million-dollar prize.

This week, the best acts from the previous four audition episodes squared-off in Las Vegas for the "Vegas Callbacks." While there, contestants worked to perfect their craft and prove to the judges that they deserved a slot in the Top 20. After much deliberation, the celebrity panel of judges, David Hasselhoff, Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne, picked the best of the best and now it's up to America to decide their favorites. Starting next Tuesday, viewers will vote via phone or online (www.nbc.com) for their favorite acts, ultimately crowning America's new talent sensation.

The Top 20 contestants will perform over the course of the next two weeks. The first ten on Tuesday, July 17 (8-9:30 p.m. ET/PT) and the second group of ten on Tuesday, July 24 (8-9:30p.m. ET/PT). On Tuesday, July 31 the 20 contestants will be narrowed down to ten.
