Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

she used this as an excuse to CUDDLE with Nick Cannon!

"Trust me, I'm a professional," Samantha Hess tells Nick Cannon as she demonstrates her work on a red couch. Her talent is professional cuddling, and the America's Got Talent host has volunteered to help. Before long, the judges want in, too.

Top 10 Talent's most-watched new upload revisits Hess's audition from 2015, moving through positions she calls "The Cleopatra," "The Claw" and "Mother of Pearl." Howard Stern announces that he would like to hug Nick. Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel follow him onto the stage, turning a fairly orderly demonstration into a crowded couch pileup.

In the comments, viewers keep returning to Mandel's willingness to join in. Others look past the spectacle to discuss professional cuddling itself and the need for human contact.

The clips channel posted fourteen uploads this week, drawing on talent-show archives rather than staging these performances itself. Other additions included Tom & Noelle's Britain's Got Talent appearance, Papi Bucket's chicken-themed instrument act and a father-daughter performance by Maurice and Shanice Hayes.

Hess's clip also has the channel's strongest daily momentum, with the earlier Baby Dev arithmetic audition close behind. Tom & Noelle's "what kind of art class is THIS?!" supplies another busy corner of the new lineup.

Top 10 Talent added roughly 200,000 subscribers over the week. Its weekly views were the largest among the nearby talent and reality channels, while Talent Recap and Britain's Got Talent had quieter weeks. There is a slowdown within that substantial audience, though: Top 10 Talent's current daily viewing is about half its usual level. The cuddle couch remains a particularly active stop.
