Tyra Banks joins America’s Got Talent in the Season 12 premiere. Here’s how you can watch Season 12, Episode 1 live on TV and online.

The new season of NBC’s talent show America’s Got Talent is upon us, with Tyra Banks joining judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Mel B for another cycle of showcasing the country’s most interesting performers.

Season 12, Episode 1 is called “Auditions 1” as the judges see the first crop of hopefuls in the audition phase of Season 12. Banks, best known for her hosting duties on America’s Next Top Model, joins America’s Got Talent in the same capacity. She replaces Nick Cannon, who resigned from the show last fall after he made comments about NBC in his Showtime stand-up special. How will Banks do as Cannon’s replacement? Probably very well considering her experience as the host of ANTM.

Plus with the America’s Got Talent judging panel intact for the third consecutive season, the banter between the cast is still the same. And you never know who they’ll find, so be sure you’re watching the season premiere live.

Here’s how NBC officially describes the episode:

"The summer’s hottest reality competition show, “America’s Got Talent,” returns with Mel B, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and new host Tyra Banks. In the season premiere, variety acts of all types and contestants of all ages audition for the chance to win the $1 million prize. The Golden Buzzer is back giving five lucky acts the chance to go directly to the live shows at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles to compete for America’s vote."
