The partnership will offer “America’s Got Talent” contestant hopefuls the opportunity to pitch their talents to show producers through YouNow’s interactive network during hour-long open casting auditions, which will be held select Wednesdays at 3 p.m. PT and continue for nine weeks beginning Dec. 2.
