This show is crud.

I've read that before about the cash sum being a lot lower. You'd think after all these years, the grand prize would've gone up to at least two million. They pay the judges a lot of money, so they have enough money to give a bigger prize to the winner.
I was going to mention this too, but it's mentioned in the article - they make it sound like the winner will get their own show in Vegas, when the "show in Vegas" really refers to a a few performances where the top 10 contestants perform and the winner is the headlining act. -

Yeah, I'm sure that NBC that makes millions can afford a bigger prize or to at least give them the mil all at once.
And it is probably one of those smaller casinos off the strip on a bare plywood stage that has cracked front windows fixed with duct tape and penny slots and old ladies betting a nickel at a time at blackjack on a formica tiled floor.
I kid but you know.
I dunno where past winners performed but it looks like future winners, as well as other acts, are scheduled to perform at The Luxor starting in Nov.

Exactly. Whatever the amount of the prize would be in order for the winner to literally receive a million dollars in a lump sum, that amount should be the actual prize.
Remember the "chicken catcher," Kevin Skinner?
After his AGT win in 2009, he released his album, Long Ride, in 2010 which received mostly favorable reviews (via Amazon). But it seems that Skinner faded from the limelight since then. As of this writing, his Facebook page — with his profile pic showing him standing next to country music legend Willie Nelson — hasn't been updated since 2012 (via Facebook).
And in 2014, it was reported that the father of two was missing after he texted his family that he had fallen near his home via (Radar Online). After his family filed a missing person's report, Skinner was found safe but was said to be suffering from depression after the end of his marriage.
Since then, there's not much known of the country singer and AGT winner. Hopefully, Skinner returns to the stage at some point so fans can hear his music once again.

are you just now realizing that?
Just the title itself is a giving away that it will be American's anything but talent!
Without strife, your victory has no meaning.
Without strife, you do not advance.
Without strife, there is only stagnation.
