30 Seconds To Fame was an American television series, featuring a talent show where acts could only last up to 30 seconds each, regardless of any resolution to the act. The series was hosted by Craig J. Jackson.
Many different talents were exhibited, such as contortionism, juggling, magic tricks, stand-up comedy, and beatboxing, aside from singing and dancing acts. Much of the charm of the show is derived from the fact that each act is only 30 seconds long, so the talents exhibited are constantly changing.
The live audience act as the judges. During the performances, if the audience find an act undesirable to watch, the audience can use electronic devices to put in a vote for elimation. If enough people do so, the act will be cut short.
At the end of the show, every member of the audience votes for his or her favourite act, and the top three acts get a chance to do another 30-second performance. After this, a final round of voting happens, and the winner earns a cash prize of US$25,000.
