30 Seconds to Fame was a talent search show where auditionees were given 30 seconds to impress the audience. Hosted by Craig J. Jackson, it ran on FOX as a summer replacement for two seasons in 2002-2003. After the demise of Running Wilde, repeats aired on late Saturday nights as a stop-gap measure in the early 2010s.24 acts were presented, broken down into halves in each segment. Any audience member who didn't like a performance can press a keypad to vote it off, bringing up the "Eliminator" graphic. Once its needle reaches the red zone, that act is history and will end early. After the last performance, audience members voted for their favorite act. The best three got to perform for 30 seconds one last time. After one final round of audience voting, the winning performance received $25,000.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Unlike The Gong Show and American Idol, 30 Seconds to Fame had no celebrity judges. Each act's fate was decided entirely by the audience with Jackson overseeing how they reacted to the undesirable acts. Personnel: The Announcer: Jonathan Magnum. Game Show Host: Craig J. Jackson who would also introduce the acts and provide commentary after each. Studio Audience: Responsible for overseeing which acts sucked and who would win $25,000 at the end of the show.

Inept Talent Show Contestant: Keeping an audience entertained for 30 seconds is much harder than it looks, as some performers found out the hard way.
