See future stars at the legendary Amateur Night at the Apollo, which helped launch the careers of Michael Jackson and many others.
Amateur Night at the Apollo is every Wednesday through November 1, as performers compete to win the title of Super Top Dog and a cash prize of $10,000, along with entertaining you along the way.
Aspiring musicians, singers, dancers, comedians, rappers and spoken word artists try their best to please the audiences that can make them an Apollo legend. As an audience member, you cheer or jeer as you decide who stays and who gets booted off stage.
At Amateur Night, you tell the performers to be good or be gone!
