‘America’s Got Talent: Extreme’ Preview
“America’s Got Talent: Extreme” is a new talent competition series that aims to showcase “the most outrageous, unique and jaw-dropping acts of enormous scale and magnitude that simply can’t be confined to a theater stage,” according to the NBC press release.
It continues, “Each week contestants will go head-to-head in the most wild, intense and often times beautiful performances to vie for a $500,000 prize and the ultimate title, the champion of ‘America’s Got Talent: Extreme.'”
The show is hosted by “America’s Got Talent” host Terry Crews. The judges’ panel consists of creator and executive producer Simon Cowell, WWE superstar Nikki Bella and rally car driver Travis Pastrana.
The show was already making headlines months ago when a stunt went wrong, sending contestant and stuntman Jonathan Goodwin to the hospital.
According to TMZ at the time of the accident, Goodwin was “suspended 70 feet in the air in a straitjacket hanging by his feet from a wire. Two cars were suspended on either side of him … swinging back and forth. The stunt was for Goodwin to free himself from the restraints and then fall on an air mattress, and avoid getting crushed by the cars as they swung in the air.”
But when the cars swung inward, they crushed Goodwin between them, exploded in a fireball, and sent him crashing to the ground. TMZ’s source said production thought Goodwin was dead.
Luckily, Goodwin was able to recover from his injuries. He later posted a photo of himself in the hospital, writing on Instagram that it was “astonishing” the outpouring of love he received after his accident.
“A couple of days ago my life took a complete left turn… and the out pouring of love from all the corners of the world; from people I didn’t even think would know or remember me… has just been astonishing. Truly incredible,” wrote Goodwin.
He added, “I have been to the very brink and dodged the worst that a human being can, without fear… because I was protected by love. Love is all you need, so make sure you get some, cos its good s***. To death I say nananana boo boo… and to the rest of you… watch this space. There is a long road to recovery and that won’t look like what it did… I may leave the daft s*** alone for a while, but I have a lot left to do in this world.”
There is no word yet as to when his stunt will be featured on the show, if at all.
“America’s Got Talent: Extreme” premieres Monday, February 21 at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on NBC.
