Things have been rolling along with America's Got Talent season 18, with five episodes of auditions having already aired and plenty of amazing acts. But the talent competition is hitting the pause button, as there is no new episode of America's Got Talent season 18 airing on NBC on Tuesday, July 4.
Most of you can probably guess why based on the date, July 4, or as it is also often referred to as America's birthday. With most people celebrating with barbecues, lounging by the pool and enjoying fireworks, not as many people may have been tuning in to watch AGT. There is a more specific reason as to why AGT is off this week, though, and not even airing a rerun in its place.
NBC is the broadcast home for the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks special. This annual televised event shows live the fireworks celebration that Macy's puts on in New York City. In addition to the fireworks, the event also features live musical performances, which this year includes Ashanti, Ja Rule, Lainey Wilson, LL Cool J and the US Army Field Band.
