"America's Got Talent" is doing back-flips over the Tuesday night competition. The live Aug. 6 episode on NBC, featuring a standout performance by acrobatic team Chicago Boyz, was the most-watched and highest-rated broadcast of the night.
The two-hour competition program drew an average of 9.3 million viewers and scored a 2.5 rating in the key 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary numbers from Nielsen. That's down about 7% from last Tuesday's key-demographic rating. A ratings point equals about 1.3 million viewers.
