Trish Stratus signs on as Canada's Got Talent is greenlit for season 2
TrishStratus.com is excited to announce Trish Stratus has re-signed to return as a judge on Canada's Got Talent as its second season is confirmed.
And it's a yes for the entire judging panel as Howie Mandell, Lilly Singh, Kardinal Offishall, and host Lindsey Ell also announced their return, bringing the Canadian star-studded Dream Team back for season 2.
"I'm looking forward jumping back into the judges' chair and taking in the awe-inspiring moments Canada brings of our second season," said Trish. "To know I may have a small part in changing the trajectory of someone's life is such a special honor. And what I'm most excited about – is dropping that elbow on the golden buzzer again!"
Got Talent is the world's greatest talent competition, for acts of all ages and sets out to discover the most unique, skilled, heartwarming, and showstopping performers. Dancers, singers, illusionists, comedians, and every imaginable talent in between will compete before celebrity judges, a live studio audience, and the entire nation. At stake is the title of Canada's Got Talent Champion and a prize beyond their wildest dreams. With compelling stories and mesmerizing performances, this competition is unlike any other.
Bossman Simon Cowell is thrilled the series was greenlit for another season following the first season's success. CGT saw more than 1.3 million viewers weekly, making it Citytv's most-viewed original series in over a decade.
"It's thrilling to see how Canada has embraced & celebrated homegrown talent and become part of the Got Talent family. I couldn't be more excited to know that Got Talent will be back again on Citytv next year. Thank you to Citytv and thank you to all of the Got Talent team. Above all, thank you, Canada!"
Jeanick Fournier of Chicoutimi, Quebec was crowned last season's winner.
