The summer TV lineup isn't complete without a new season of "America's Got Talent," and Season 19 on the TV schedule ended with a champion who warmed hearts as well as wowed the judges with his vocals. Now, almost exactly a month after singer Richard Goodall became the latest "AGT" winner with his Journey covers, a big change has been announced for the hit show due to budget cuts. Longtime showrunner Jason Raff is exiting after 19 seasons.

When it comes to "America's Got Talent," that equates to nearly 500 episodes and almost 150 hours of live television. According to Deadline, Jason Raff learned that he was being cut from "AGT" just one day after the Season 19 finale, with budget cited as the reason. Reflecting on the day that he was handed a DVD with a presentation of what would eventually become "AGT," he spoke on the matter to Deadline.
