THINK THEY CAN RELAX AFTER THE TUESDAY SHOW, WE CRANK UP THE
PRESSURE WITH THE RESULTS. 11 ACTS CAME TO THE STAGE LAST

>> Howie: I WOULD IMAGINE TO THE MEN'S ROOM.
>> Terry: HERE'S ALEX SAMPSON. >> Heidi: I WANNA BE YOUR GIRL.
* I WOULD KISS YOU EVERY DAY * >> Sofia: ALEX, I THINK YOU'RE A
STAR. THAT ORIGINAL SONG, PERFECT FOR

>> Howie: I'M SO NERVOUS. I GET ONE THE WHOLE NIGHT.
WHEN I THINK BACK, I SHOULD HAVE, BUT I DIDN'T.
>> Heidi: GOOSE BUMPS. * WHOA *
>> Howie: I DON'T THINK YOU HIT YOUR MARK TONIGHT.
>> Heidi: WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
>> Terry: UP NEXT IS ONE OF YOUR GOLDEN BUZZERS, SIMON.
HERE'S SKY ELEMENTS. >> Simon: THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
HOW DO YOU TOP THAT? >> Sofia: IS THAT YOU?
>> Heidi: IT IS. >> Sofia: IS THAT ME.
>> Heidi: IT'S YOU. IT'S VERY EXCITING WHEN YOU SEE
YOURSELF ON A BILLBOARD, BUT THIS IS NEXT LEVEL.

I'M IN AWE. >> THANK YOU, SIMON.
>> CAN WE BRING THE LIGHTS DOWN, PLEASE?
>> Simon: I'M JUST ABOUT TO GET MYSELF FIRED.
>> Howie: NO! >> Simon: IT'S MINE.
>> Howie: MY GOLDEN BUZZER. IT WAS MINE.
>> Terry: WE'RE GOING TO CHECK THE REPLAY AND FIND OUT WHO
PRESSED THE GOLDEN BUZZER FIRST. HOWIE GOT THERE FIRST.
>> Howie: I DID IT. >> THIS MOMENT IS MAYBE THE
HAPPIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. >> Simon: I LOVE THIS ACT.
I LOVE THEM AS PEOPLE. THERE'S SOMETHING AUTHENTIC
ABOUT WHAT YOU DO. YOU MAKE EVERYONE FEEL AMAZING
WHEN YOU PERFORM. * GONNA BE A BRIGHT *
>> Simon: LOVE THAT SONG CHOICE. * SUNSHINY DAY *
>> Simon: THIS IS YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER.
>> Sofia: I DON'T CARE WHAT SIMON SAYS.
I STAND BY YOU. I WOULD GIVE YOU ANOTHER GOLDEN
BUZZER IF I COULD. THIS IS WHAT "AGT" IS ALL ABOUT.
>> Simon: IT WAS FUNNY THE FIRST TIME.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD EVOLVE INTO SOMETHING GREAT.
IT DIDN'T. I THINK ANYONE COULD DO THAT.
>> CAN YOU DO THIS? >> HERE WE GO.
>> Heidi: YOU GOT THIS , ASHLEE. LET'S GO.
WHAT AN ENTRANCE. YOU GOT THE DANGEROUS OBSTACLE
COURSE. I'M THERE FOR IT.
I LOVE IT. I THINK YOU'RE FANTASTIC.

IF IT HAD GONE WRONG, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD.
AND YOU WENT FOR IT. >> Sofia: IT WAS AMBITIOUS.
LOVED IT. >> I LOVE YOU.
>> Heidi: I THINK YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
THE WAY YOU SHRED THIS THING, YOU'RE UNBELIEVABLE.
>> Howie: IT'S A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF GUITAR PLAYING.
YOU'RE LIKE NiNi HENDRIX. WHAT A WAY TO CLOSE THE SHOW.
>> Sofia: SIMON TRIED TO STEAL HOWIE'S GOLDEN BUZZER.
>> Simon: I'M WATCHING THAT BACK.
I GOT ROBBED. >> Terry: OKAY.
LET'S GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE GOLDEN BUZZER CONTROVERSY.
SINCE LAST NIGHT, THE NATION'S TOP LEGAL MINDS AND VIDEO
EXPERTS HAVE BEEN STUDYING THE TAPE OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
I CAN NOW CONFIRM, THAT WHILE SIMON DID TRY AND STEAL THE
GOLDEN BUZZER, IT WAS ACTUALLY HOWIE THAT HIT THE BUTTON FIRST.
END OF STORY. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> Terry: IT WAS DEFINITELY HOWIE'S GOLDEN BUZZER.
IT'S THE MOMENT THAT EVERY "AGT" ACT DREAMS OF.
NOW, SIMON, ARE YOU READY TO ADMIT THAT HOWIE HIT IT FIRST?
>> Howie: THANK YOU FOR ASKING. IT'S NOT MY TURN TO ANSWER?
>> Simon: I'M REALLY, REALLY SORRY.
I TRIED. I WAS EXCITED, BUT IT'S HOWIE'S.
>> Terry: HOWIE, HOW DID YOU KNOW HE WAS GOING TO GO FOR THE
BUZZER? >> Howie: BECAUSE I SAW HIM
LOOKING AT ME AND HE ALWAYS RECOGNIZES WHEN I RECOGNIZE
AMAZING TALENT. YOU LOOKED TO ME.
>> Simon: I DID. >> Howie: I'M HERE FOR YOU.
EVERYBODY LOOKS TO ME. >> Terry: I LOVE IT.
OKAY. GIVE IT UP FOR HOWIE MANDEL'S
GOLDEN BUZZER AIRFOOTWORKS. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
* >> Terry: AIRFOOTWORKS, PLEASE
TELL US WHAT THAT MAGIC MOMENT WAS LIKE.
>> IT WAS AMAZING. I WAS REALLY SURPRISED TO SEE
THE TWO JUDGES FIGHTING OVER US. IT WAS AMAZING.
>> Terry: HOWIE, WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THESE GUYS?
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THEM, HOWIE? >> Howie: OH, BECAUSE THEY'RE
ARTISTS, DANCERS, ATHLETES. THEY'RE ORIGINAL AND THEY
STEPPED IT UP. BEST ACT I HAVE SEEN THIS
SEASON. >> THANK YOU.
>> Terry: WELL, THAT GOLDEN BUZZER MEANS THAT THESE GUYS
SKIP THE SEMI-FINAL AND GO STRAIGHT TO THE FINALS.
PEOPLE, MAKE SOME NOISE FOR AIRFOOTWORKS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] *
NOW HEIDI, YOU AND HOWIE DISAGREED A WHOLE LOT LAST
NIGHT. WAS HE JUST BEING MR. GRUMPY?
>> Heidi: I'M GETTING USED TO HIM BEING GRUMPY.
I PREFER HIM SMILEY AND HAPPY. SOMETIMES HE GETS GRUMPY.
IT'S ALL RIGHT. >> Howie: I'M JUST SERIOUS ABOUT
THIS JOB. >> Heidi: HE IS.
HE MEANS WELL. >> Terry: I'M GOING TO SWITCH IT
OVER TO SOFIA. SOFIA, Xed SCHUMACHER, YOUR
GOLDEN BUZZER. YOU STOOD BY YOUR CHOICE.
YOU HAD A CHANCE TO SLEEP ON IT. DO YOU STILL FEEL THE SAME WAY?
>> Sofia: YES. >> Simon: SOFIA.
>> Sofia: I MEAN, I DID THINK THEY WERE MORE AMAZING DURING
THE AUDITIONS, BUT I THINK THEY DESERVED A GOLDEN BUZZER BECAUSE
THEY'RE FUNNY. THEY'RE VERY CREATIVE.
YOU KNOW, I WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE BOX AND GIVE A GOLDEN BUZZER
TO SOMEONE DIFFERENT. >> Terry: YOU STAND BY YOUR
DECISION? >> Sofia: I DO.
>> Terry: ALL RIGHT. I BELIEVE IT.
SIMON, LAST NIGHT WAS LIVE, MAN. WE HAD ALL SORTS OF CRAZY ANTICS
GOING ON. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE SHOW?
>> Simon: I THOUGHT THE SHOW WAS GREAT.
I GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT. I WAS IN BIG TROUBLE THIS
MORNING. I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF.
I LITERALLY THOUGHT FOR A SECOND I SHOULDN'T DO IT, BUT I'M GOING
TO DO IT. THEN I GOT MY HANDS REALLY BADLY
SLAPPED THIS MORNING. I'M SORRY, BUT I WAS EXCITED.
YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MAKE LIVE TV.
YOU GET IMPULSIVE. >> Terry: I DO THAT ALL THE
TIME, MAN. I SHOULDN'T DO IT, BUT I DO IT
ANYWAY. THANK YOU, JUDGES.

JUDGES, TERRY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME BACK.
BEFORE TONIGHT'S SHOW WE HAD THE AUDIENCE AND JUDGES GIVE
SUGGESTIONS FOR ANYTHING THEY WANT ME TO PERFORM TONIGHT.
LIKE A PIANO BAR WHERE PEOPLE REQUEST SONGS, BUT FOR MAGIC.
WE GOT HUNDREDS OF RESPONSES. SOME PEOPLE HAD CRAZY IDEAS LIKE
CUT HOWIE IN HALF. OR MAKE SIMON DISAPPEAR.
WE TOOK SOME OF THE BEST ONES AND PUT THEM ON THIS WHEEL.
JUST TO KEEP IT INTERESTING WE ADDED SOME CURVE BALLS LIKE THIS
ONE THAT SAYS JUDGE'S CHOICE OR TERRY'S CHOICE.
FOR NOW TERRY, LET'S GET THIS GOING.
SPIN THAT WHEEL. COME ON.
I HAVE TO ADMIT I'M VERY NERVOUS BECAUSE I HAVE TO IMPROVISE
MAGIC BASED ON WHATEVER SUGGESTION IT LANDS ON.

NOTHING CAN TOUCH IT. CAN THAT HAND COMPLETELY STILL.
I'LL TRANSFER THE MAGIC POWER TO YOU.
FOCUS ON THE COIN. I WANT YOU TO SLOWLY LIFT YOUR
LEFT HAND VERY SLOWLY. YOU'LL START TO FEEL SOMETHING
HAPPEN. WATCH THE COIN.
