Who's the most talented man in the country? Americans believe it's a singing chicken farmer from Kentucky.
Kevin Skinner was crowned the winner of America's Got Talent Wednesday night, and, predictably, the country singer-songwriter says it's a moment he won't soon forget. "That's a feeling I've never experienced before, and probably won't ever experience again," Skinner says. "It's just an awesome feeling you just want to hang on to as long as you can."

America's Got Talent
8/7c NBC
A contortionist break-dancer. An opera singer. A tenor trio. A golden-girl comic. Power tap-dancing siblings. These ace entertainers are among the final 10 acts who took the stage in Monday's last-chance performance episode. With tension spiking and nerves popping, they are now in line to score the big $1 million prize and a headlining Vegas show. With the big-stage curtain finally closing on the sprawling star search, one of them will be named the winner in tonight's two-hour Season 4 finale. Performers include Britain's Got Talent phenom Susan Boyle, pop songstress Shakira, English singer Leona Lewis, country stars Rascal Flatts and high-flying act Cirque du Soleil.

Jay Leno Show
10/9c NBC

But the standard two-guest-and-a-music-act setup is out the door as Jay spends more time focusing on comedy bits. Tonight's premiere features Jerry Seinfeld and a performance by Jay-Z, Kanye West and Rihanna.

America's Got Talent didn't find its Susan Boyle this season, so the show is flying her in for the season finale.
Boyle, who took the Internet and the British version of the NBC talent competition by storm earlier this year, will perform on the show's Sept. 16 finale. The appearance will mark the songstress' first trip to the U.S.

Leverage
9/8c TNT
The cool and catchy con-job drama wends its way to its summer-season finale (which airs next week) with some good news: The series returns to conclude its second season this winter, and TNT has renewed the show for a third season. Nate and his mates will be busy, for sure, but they get busier tonight when they try to deliver comeuppance to a corrupt diamond merchant. But this ice-man job is jeopardized by a slipup, resulting in the team's efforts to bust through Boston's most impregnable vault.
