It has some serious reality TV pedigree
If you’re worried about getting hooked on the series only for it to be unceremoniously canceled, suffice it to say this show has a better chance of survival than most.

The judges panel is our dream dinner party
You know how people ask which guests you’d invite to your dream dinner party? Well, the judges panel for The World’s Best is pretty much the embodiment of that question’s answer.
The star-studded panel offering critiques to the talented contestants will consist of VH1 drag superstar RuPaul, actor Drew Barrymore and country superstar Faith Hill. It’s official — we’d tune in just to watch that trio.
It’s bound to be super-funny too
A good host can make or break a reality show, and the one tapped for The World’s Best already has an edge — he has a background in talk television. And did we mention he’s hella funny? Say hello to The Late Late Show’s James Corden, who’ll be hosting and co-executive producing.
It’s like America’s Got Talent but more global & 110 percent more fantastic
You might be thinking, “What makes this different from the other reality TV talent competitions already on TV now?” In a word: scope. According to a statement from CBS (as reported by Deadline), the show will feature “acts from every genre imaginable from every corner of the planet.”
Additionally, it won’t just be the American judges these talent acts must impress. They’ll also face “the wall of the world” — 50 of the most accomplished experts from every field of entertainment from all over the globe.
“The time has come to take talent competition shows to the next level and bring in judges from around the world to decide on the ultimate winner,” said Burnett. “It’s like the Olympics for entertainment, but you don’t have to wait every two years.”
