"30 Seconds To Fame" is an American television series, featuring a talent show where acts could only last up to 30 seconds each, regardless of any resolution to the act. The series was hosted by Craig Jackson.

Many different talents were exhibited, such as contortionism, juggling, magic tricks, stand-up comedy, and beatboxing, aside from singing and dancing acts. Much of the charm of the show was derived from the fact that each act lasted only 30 seconds, leading to a variety of different acts being displayed. The live audience acted as the judges. During the performances, if the audience found an act undesirable to watch, the audience used electronic devices to put in a vote for elimination. If enough people did so, the act was be cut short.

At the end of the show, every member of the audience voted for his or her favorite act, and the top three acts got a chance to do another 30-second performance. After this, a final round of voting occurred, and the winner earned a cash prize of US$25,000.
