Rise in popularity
Within a week of its creation, New Talent on 60 Minutes topped the all-time top-rated with a 4.79 rating as of October 14, 2006. Some voters attributed their ratings, for better or for worse, to the site's ending, a screencap of 60 Minutes regular Andy Rooney accompanied by what is assumed to be Rooney saying "Poland." Some of said voters will infer that Improviser "remembered Poland", an obvious reference to the You Forgot Poland fad.
New Talent is also fourth on the "biggest favorites" list with 1,523 favorites, behind Holy shi* it's a Dinosaur! WTF? (1,842), We Didn't Start This Website! (2,000), and Cosby Bebop (3,088).
Additions
Due to requests from voters, New Talent on 60 Minutes has had some additions since its creation. Among the names in the current version of New Talent that were not in the original include Beavis ("I am Cornholio!"), the narrator from Fight Club ("I am Jack's raging bile duct"), and Arnold Schwarzenegger ("I'm Detective John Kimble" from Kindergarten Cop). Requested additions that Improviser has stated he will not make include "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" ("Rick James is already in so no Juggernaut," said Improviser) and Inigio Montoya from The Princess Bride (he says "My name is Inigio Montoya", not "I am Inigio Montoya."). Improviser contradicted an earlier statement by adding Ron Burgundy on October 23, 2006 in addition to adding Skeletor (from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe) and Troy McClure (a recurring character on The Simpsons voiced by the late Phil Hartman).
Upon Ed Bradley's death in November 2006, Improviser added a single-frame dedication to Bradley after Andy Rooney's "Poland." The frame reads "Dedicated to Ed Bradley, June 22 1941 - November 10, 2006."
The battle for top place
Ever since We Didn't Start This Website! was posted, New Talent and WDSTW have gone neck-and-neck for the top place on the all-time top rated list. As of September 11, 2007, New Talent has the lead by 0.0014 stars. The next closest competition is PCF's It's Good! Want Some?, trailing New Talent by 0.0357 stars.
In addition, sites on the Up and Coming list that have close-to-5-star ratings may get comments comparing that site to New Talent. One example is AndySavage's Wesley Snipes Learns a Lesson, where user icenine0 commented "thar is no wai this ken be gud az 60 minutez!@!!!!! 1111111111111111111111111"
