    It premieres Friday, May 22nd at 4 p.m. EST, and you can set a reminder to watch it here!

    Here's how it's going to work: Three judges will watch six acts over a video conference (because, of course), and judge each act in three categories:

    1. Raw Talent

    2. Creativity

    3. Je ne sais quoi or “that it factor”

    They will give points for each category, and the contestant who accumulates the most points wins!

    So let's meet the judges, shall we?! We've got Yoni Lotan, Taylor Ortega, and John Trowbridge!!!!

    Together the trio will team up to host and judge the show, ultimately declaring ONE winner.

    You better believe there is a sweet prize for the crowned champion.

    And of course, you can't have a talent show without the talent! Here are the participants:

    Christian King, Molly Clark

    Jonathan Stone (@jstone) will perform an original beatbox ensemble.

    Claire Salvo (@clairesalvo) will be recreating a famous modern painting with food she has in her pantry.
