The second season of American talent show competition series America's Got Talent was broadcast on NBC from June 5 to August 21, 2007. The network originally intended for it to run during its winter schedule that year, but opted against it following concerns over it clashing with other popular programs at that time.[2] After the success of its first year, additional episodes of the series were commissioned by NBC, with changes being made to the program's format for the new season. The changes included the addition of a "boot camp" stage during the auditions, and the use of the judge's buzzers matching other editions of the Got Talent franchise, particularly after the first season of Britain's Got Talent.
While Piers Morgan and David Hasselhoff returned as judges, Regis Philbin did not return as host for the new season, and was replaced by tabloid talk show host Jerry Springer.[3] Brandy Norwood was unable to return as a judge following the previous season, due to an ongoing lawsuit against her at the time,[4][5] and was replaced by Sharon Osbourne as a result.[6] The second season was won by singing ventriloquist and impressionist Terry Fator, with singer and guitarist Cas Haley finishing in second place, and singing beatboxer Butterscotch placing third.
