Data were collected from selected video segments of America's Got Talent judges comment using purposive sampling. The analysis focuses on identifying the forms of verbal and audio pragmatic markers and their pragmatic function within televised interaction. The finding revealed it is important to highlight that the verbal pragmatic markers are not only limited for linguistics expressions such as you know, I mean, uhh and the others because they convey a certain message.
