The show had an act on this week who served 37 years of a life sentence for crimes he didn't commit. I know that's a cousin of institutionalized excessive force, but if that didn't generate cognitive dissonance for the AGT audience, the rest of this month's news isn't likely to do it. David

Surprisingly, "AGT" had good numbers Tuesday night, proving that the public is either easy to forgive or that there honestly wasn't much competition from the other OTA networks.

In a statement, the companies said a review of her complaints of on-set racism concluded they were unfounded. NBC and the producers also said the investigator determined that Union’s claims were unrelated to her being dropped as a judge. Union is known for her roles in the films “Bring It On” and “Bad Boys II.” She appeared on “America's Got Talent” for one season and wasn't asked to return. The conclusions were based on some 30 interviews conducted by the investigator.
