During the March 19 finale episode, "Star Search" was preempted 33 minutes into the Eastern and Central time zone broadcast for CBS News coverage of "America at War." During the March 19 broadcast, the Junior Singer and Young Dancer rendered winners, but, only the first comedian was able to perform before the show was cut short.
On April 2, the Junior Singer and Young Dancer winners from the March 19 broadcast will be recapped for audiences while the second comedian and Adult Singers will be able to perform to determine the winners in each category. Immediately after completing the finale, the next round of STAR SEARCH will begin with new performers competing in each category. The new tournament featuring 13 original episodes will be broadcast twice weekly on Wednesdays and Fridays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT both nights).
