Our Favorite TV Shows We Didn’t Know Were Staged
American Idol

The first episode of this widely popular TV show aired two decades ago. Ever since, it’s been on the airwaves, attracting a large group of audience. The concept is simple; it aims to find the most talented singer in America through auditions conducted across the country. It turns out that most of the millions of hopefuls who audition have no chance of making it, as the producers already have their eyes on the most talented singers who have been pre-selected through scouts.
