[dramatic music]
- It's about courage.
It is about confidence and respect.

- Question: when is a champion crowned?
The winner: Brandon Leake!
[cheers and applause]
- Is it in the moment
that they hoist up their victory?
Or is it in the moments
that exist behind the curtain?
Is it in the practice sessions
where repetition,
where repetition is key
to aligning harmony with destiny?
- Wow!
- Is it in the rejections
that have piled up in their psyches?
Or is it in the moments
when this world
has knocked them on their behind?
- Are you kidding me?
- And they elected to get up anyway?
'Cause here, on the stage,
is where champions are forged
in the fire
of their own passion and desire,
with only a hope to show the world
that not only does
America got talent,
but they do too.
[cheers and applause]

We actually-- - Chosen family.
- Yeah, we actually all met at Muscle Beach here
in Los Angeles.
- Oh, in Venice. - Oh.
So, you guys are, like, bodybuilders
or something like that.
- You could say something like that.
- And why did you think that "AGT" was, like,
the perfect place for you guys to perform?
- So, we're Positive Impact Movement,
and what we want to do is inspire positively,
and that you can recover from any injury
and come back stronger than ever.
This guy literally broke his neck.
This guy broke his back.
My left knee. His right knee.
- Okay, let's not do any of that today, please.
- Yeah, yeah. No.
- Let's not talk about broken backs.
- What about this guy, literally, right here?
- I know, yeah.
- Otherwise, I'd be up there with them.
- Yeah, so we'll recruit you for the next one.
You know, you guys are back brothers.
[cheers and applause]
- Okay. Let's see what you can do.
- I have a bad feeling about this.
- Really?
- They don't look like weightlifters.
I don't see muscles.
- Well, they're wearing shirts.
[Dua Lipa's "Physical"]
* *
- Oh, here we go.
- Oh!
- * Common love isn't for us *
* We created something phenomenal *
* Don't you agree? *

- A standing O!
- Wow.
- * I was hopin' for an indication *
- * I was seekin' higher elevation *
* Oh, oh, oh *
- I was wrong.
- [laughs]
- Well, I have to say
that was kind of a surprise... - Yeah.
- 'Cause at the beginning, I was, like,
thinking those guys, I mean, with those weird outfits.
And then I--
- The tops came off.
- Yeah, I know, but, like, at the beginning,
I thought, "Okay, they're sweet."
But not, like-- when the shirts came off,
it was another level of fitness.
And-- [laughs]
- Yeah.
- And the energy was amazing.
Howie.
- I loved the act.
You know, we see people doing acrobatics
and strength, but you're just using
equipment that people are around each and every day.
Can I ask you one question?
Was there some special meaning in that thing
that you were holding up?
- Absolutely. Yeah.
My family, we've always watched
"America's Got Talent."
My mom got diagnosed with melanoma,
and we lost her in 2017.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
- And I have her ashes in here,
and whenever we watched "America's Got Talent,"
she was always saying, "You gotta go.
You gotta do it. You gotta do it."
- Aw. - Wow.
- And finally, because of COVID,
I ended up meeting these guys.
So I wanted to bring her on stage with me.
- That's incredible.
- Well, she is here with us, and she is proud.
- * I would always open up the door *
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- Sorry for your loss. - Good for you.
[cheers and applause]
- Simon?
- What was really incredible was the amount of time
you must have put into this.
- Yes.
- And it was like watching a gymnast act
and a danger act together. - Yeah.
- So it was very clever. Well done.
- Thank you.
- Heidi.
- I have to say I liked it a lot.
At first, I wasn't sure,
but there were so many amazing, incredible things
that you guys have done that we have never seen before.
So congratulations.
- Thank you.
- So, now we're gonna vote. Howie?
- From the first dumbbell, a yes.
- Yes, thank you. Thank you so much.
- Heidi? - Yes!
- Yes.
- It's a third yes from me.
- Four yes.
- Hell yes!
Thank you so much. We really appreciate it.
- Well done.
- I loved that.
- Thank you.
- I can't believe we've never seen anything like that.
- That was very good.
- That takes a lot of practice.
- You got to be happy. - Oh, we're stoked.
- All four judges on their feet.
What are you feeling?
- My heart's going crazy right now.
- I felt your neck slamming.
- Elated, yeah.
- I wonder if they're really heavy.
- Wait, she's gonna go see.
Don't, don't, don't.
- Oh, you can't? - Oh, you can't lift it?
- That's heavy.
- Be careful.
[cheers and applause]
Well, then she--
- No, be careful!
- You're gonna hurt yourself.
- It's actually really heavy. - It's really heavy.
- It's really heavy, yeah.
- [grunts]
- [laughs]
- She nearly did.
- I just had to make sure.
- Whoo!
Whoo!
- Yeah! [all cheering]
[dramatic music]
- Coming up...
- Wow!
- That just put the biggest smile on my face.
[cheers and applause] [buzzer buzzes]
- La-la-la-la-la. - Shut up.
- [singing] - [singing]
- That was incredible.
- People like you are why we make this show.
[cheers and applause]
- All right, are you guys
ready to see some more talent?
[Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out"]
- We're here. We made it.
- Whoo-hoo-hoo. - Our team's ready.
- All right, here we go, folks. Here we go.
- * Who let the dogs out?! *
- I have a feeling there's a dog act coming.
- That could be allergies. - Yeah, that's allergies.
- See if I'm right.
- Beasley. Hey, Bease, look.
[laughter]
- That looks like me. Look.
- Says, "I got it."
- Hey, what's up? - I know, right?
- I'm Trevor. - I'm Chrissy Joy.
- And I'm Christina. - And were the Empower Pack.
- You gotta know "AGT" loves dogs.
- Awesome.
- And the number one dog lover in the world
is the Simon Cowell.
- Uh-huh.
We want to impress the judges,
especially Simon.
This is the big moment.
We're gonna have fun.
- Whoo! - It's gonna go great.
We want to show America how fantastic our dogs are.
I can absolutely see
our entire team
on the Las Vegas Strip
and performing live shows.
- Make it happen. - Aw.
[cheers and applause] - Aw.
- Hello. Told you.
- Wow. - Yeah.
- You were right!
- I told you. - Oh, my gosh.
- I had the weirdest feeling
we were just about to see a dog act.
[laughter]
So tell me the name of the act.
- We are the Empower Pack.
- And what does that mean?
- What we do is we work our dogs with tricks
and stunts, but we do tricks with a purpose to hopefully
inspire and empower people to follow their passions.
- Yes. [cheers and applause]
- So, if my dogs were watching this,
which they do by the way, would they be empowered?
- Yes, absolutely.
How could you not be empowered?
- All right.
- What is the necklace say on the dog?
- Well, this is quite a special necklace,
because Miss Petunia has an enormous crush on Simon.
[audience oohs] - Simon, wow.
- That means a lot.
And do you think you can win?
- We're feeling so good.
We're gonna go for the win.
- Okay. No more questions.
Good luck. - Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
[B.o.B and Rivers Cuomo's "Magic"]
- * I got the magic in me *
* Every time I touch that track *
* It turns into gold *
* Everybody knows *
* I got the magic in me *
* When I hit the floor *

- Thank you very much.
Sofía, you enjoyed that, didn't you?
- I did.
I loved how he put the fire out.
- Yeah. [laughter]
- I really, really enjoyed it.
[cheers and applause] - Howie?
- You know, I love dogs,
but I didn't find it inspiring or aspirational.
[audience boos]
- I hate to say this, but I agree with Howie.
But, you know, I love dogs,
and now the pug's got a crush on me,
so now I feel really bad.
But we've had better. I have to say no.
Heidi?
- I think it is so hard what you guys do.
It's a yes for me.
- Sofía? - I'm gonna say yes too.
- Thank you. - Howie?
- I'm gonna give it a no.
- Aww. - Sorry.
- Sorry, guys.
- Thank you. I feel bad.
- You should feel bad.
- But we've had dog acts win the whole season.
You know that. - Yeah.
- That sets a bar.
- You're right. But it was so cute.
- Your dogs at home will be upset that you said no.
- They're gonna bite me.
- Are you guys ready for your next act?
[cheers and applause]
- Hi. - Hi.
- I'm Terry. What's your name?
- Alexandra.
- And what's her name?
- Tesla.
When I was younger,
I didn't have many friends because I was shy.
But when I had my first dog,
everything changed.
- [barking]
- I got Gizmo when I was 14 years old.
I started to teach him tricks.
I did a dog dancing show.
I was really nervous,
but Gizmo helped me to have fun with him,
and everything will be okay. [laughs]
[Rachel Platten's "Better Place"]
Gizmo passed away when he was eight years old.
It was so difficult
because he was my best friend.
He really changed my life,
because... [laughs]
- * It's a better place since you came along *
- Gizmo gave me confidence,
and my life would have been so different
if I didn't meet him.
I will never forget him.
- * It's like I've known you all my life *
- Now I have Tesla,
and I love her so much.
Being on "AGT," it's a big dream.
I never think it's possible to be here.
I am very nervous,
but I know Tesla will help me.
- It's your time to go out on "America's Got Talent."
- * In my heart, I feel like I belong *
- Ooh.
- Wow.
- Hi.
- [laughs]
- What's your name? - Alexandra.
- Where are you from? - I'm from Quebec, Canada.
- Oh, bonjour. I'm also Canadian.
And who's that?
- Tesla.
- Wow. And what is the dream?
- To have a dog training center.
- Wow. - Yeah.
[cheers and applause] - So cute.
- Does Tesla think she can win?
- I think, yeah. - I think she does.
- Yeah, I think. - Yeah, good.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
[cheers and applause]

- Wow. - * Since you came along *
- Yeah. Sorry, we met Tesla.
And who's this one?
- Luka. - Luka.
I think this might be my favorite dog act
this season so far.
[cheers and applause] - Thank you.
- What I love about Tesla is that
you can tell she's having a great time.
I think you're gonna do really well
in this competition, all three of you.
- * It's a better place *
* Since you came along *
- Heidi, what'd you think?
- That just put the biggest smile on my face.
Tesla also could be partially kangaroo.
[laughter]
She jumps up like that.
I mean, it was adorable.
- Thank you.
- Sofía.
- I wanted you to keep going and going and going.
It was fantastic.
- Yeah. I agree.
[cheers and applause]
You know, we see dog acts all the time,
but I saw unique tricks,
and it was more energetic and more in sync
than any other animal act we have ever seen
on the history of "America's Got Talent."
So, let's vote.
Simon?
- Woof.
- "Woof." That means yes.
- It is yes.
- So, you got one woof.
- Yes.
- Two yeses. Heidi.
- Yes, yes, yes.
- Four yeses.

* It's a better place since you came along *
- Can I say hello? Hello.
Hey.
- Aw, I love them.
- You know, they are absolutely beautiful.
Congratulations. - Gorgeous.
- Thank you so much.
[cheers and applause]
- That dog didn't miss one beat.
- No. - That dog is so smart.
- Yeah. - I want that dog.
- It's beautiful.
- How do you feel?
What does this mean to you right now?
- I feel so good.
So excited.
It's a dream.
We got it! Yeah!
Yeah, good girl!
- * It's a better place *
* Since you came along *
[cheers and applause]
- America is the land of opportunity.
[For King & Country's "Together"]
- And people from all different places
come to be here.
- I'm from New York City.
- I'm from Texas. - I'm from Tampa, Florida.
- But we all share our passion
and our belief in our future.
- And "America's Got Talent"
can make your dreams come true.
- Y'all see the joint? - Oh.
- Ahh, "America's Got Talent." - There it is.
- You know how we do. - Here we are, folks.
all: We're Gangstagrass. - We are a band.
- We met almost 11 years ago,
and we've been rocking together ever since.
- When you guys first started performing,
did you ever see something like this
would be the result? - Nope.
- [laughing]
- No way. - Not at all.
- We're all from very different places
of the country. I'm out of Omaha, Nebraska.
- I'm in Brooklyn.
- I'm from Pensacola, Florida.
- But music brought us together.
And we realized how much we have in common.
[dramatic music]
- I remember my dad always telling me
that he wanted to leave the world
better for me than he found it.
- Now, the four of us are dad's.
- And we all feel that way too.
- This goes up here.
- [laughs]
- And we want to do it through music.
* *
- Now, why "America's Got Talent"?
Talk to me.
- I had a vision
of using some quintessentially American music
to show people that we have some common ground,
and there's no better place for us to come and prove it.
So we're here to win, because we really want
to tour the country, bringing that message around.
We're better together.
[cheers and applause]
- Howdy. - Hello.
How are you?
- Good, how are you? - We're good.
- Doing great, thank you.
What's the name of the group?
all: Gangstagrass.
- Wow.
- Gangstagrass.
- [laughs]
Gangstagraus.
I love that.
- Okay, how'd you come up with the group?
- I decided that I wanted to create a band like this...
- Yeah.
- To play for America and bring a message
that America can find common ground
and get over some of the divisions
that we've been experiencing and come together.
- Ooh, I like that. - Wow, wow.
[cheers and applause]
- Yes.
- And then I had to go out and find
the perfect people to make it into reality.
- Aww.
- Good for you.
- These are my brothers up here, man.
We're--this is my--
this is my family up here.
- I like it.
- Who's the first people you're gonna call
if you get a yes or a no?
- I'm calling my kids. - Okay.

- Okay, well no more questions.
Two minutes can change your life on this show.
Good luck.

I've never seen you jump up this fast.
- I--I-- - Did you see Howie jump?
- I was so excited. - Yeah.
- Yeah, I saw that. What do you think?
- I think that you are the recipe
that America has been looking for till now.
And I think America is this stew
of all kind of cultures,
and we should all be singing and playing together.
This is emblematic... - Yes.
- Of what America needs right now.
- Heidi.
- I love the message. I love the music.
I was bopping along. I was loving it.
I love you guys.
It was fantastic. Thank you.

this season, anything like that.
- So I'm very, very excited for you guys.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
- This was a really, really good audition.
This was an original song,
which makes a huge difference.
You're fantastic musicians.
I can tell you're close friends.
I think this is a great audition.
This one we're gonna remember.
[cheers and applause] - Thank you.
- Yeah! Gangstagrass!
- I could tell on your faces
you were kind of, like,
a little bit hesitant beforehand.
- [laughs]
- "Maybe this won't go so well" or what?
- Everybody was really happy to see Simon's face just,
like, crooked smile all the way up to a full smile.
- That was dope. That was dope.
- That was beautiful.
- [laughs] [cheers and applause]
- I like you.
Okay. We've got to vote.

and I just want to make you guys feel good.
- No.

- Okay. - Okay.
- And enjoy. - I'm ready to try this.

[ASMR clicking]
I want to calm everyone down
before we go judge.
- * Ahh! *
- Can you hear me, Sofía?
Are you feeling good?
- No.
- * Ahh! *
- You should just listen and enjoy...
- What? - Everything.
- It's making me nervous. - Guys!
- Oh! Don't do that!
- I can't work like this.
- * Ahh! *
My name is Duane Douglas,
I'm 43 years old,
and I'm from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I've always been a huge fan of professional wrestling.
When I was a kid, my brother and I,
we would paint our faces up like different wrestlers
and have our little own backyard wrestling shows.
But as I got older,
I realized I wasn't a very athletic guy,
and my dream
to be a world class wrestler went away.
So I created no-contact wrestling
in order to keep wrestling alive in my life.
The storytelling, the characters,
and best of all, the trash-talking.
Are you ready, baby?
Tonight, I'm gonna smack talk
the judges into submission.
Go show them what you got!
This is a golden opportunity to be discovered
by the world
and show America that no-contact wrestling
is not going anywhere.
[cheers and applause]
[heavy metal music]
Hello. - Hello.
What's your name?
- My name is Delicious Duane Douglas.
- Delicious. - That's right.
- And what are you gonna be doing for us?
- I am a no-contact professional wrestler.
- No-contact professional wrestler.
- No-contact. That's right.
- And you make a living doing that?
What do you do for a job?
- For a job, I'm a legal clerk at the courts.
[laughter]
- Do the people at the courts know that you do this?
- Yes. They love it.
[cheers and applause]
- Do you think you can win this?
- Absolutely. I saw a psychic.
She told me I'd win this.
I already won it.
You don't even know it yet.
- You think you could take the $1 million prize?
- $1 million prize?
$1 million is a drop in the bucket for me, big guy.
- Whoa!
- Big talk. - Talking smack.
- Okay, good luck.
- All right.
- [laughs] [cheers and applause]
[bell dings]
- What's up, Hollywood?
It's Delicious Dwayne Douglas,
the greatest no-contact wrestler of all time.
And I'm here at "America's Got Talent"
to win it all!
But first, let's give it up
for Terry Crews.
Terry Crews is the second-most intimidating man
on this stage today. - Ahh!
- 'Cause the first, it's this guy,
Delicious Dwayne Douglas.
Handsome Howie Mandel.
You would be perfect
for no-contact professional wrestling.
I'm about to offer you
the highly-coveted spot
as my no-contact tag team partner.
- This is it?
- So, when you're ready to change careers,
you come see me.
[buzzer buzzes]
Hot Stuff Heidi Klum.
Girl, look at all this.
How have I not been invited
to one of your Halloween parties yet?
I don't know.
I'm starting to feel a little snubbed.
[buzzer buzzes]
Stunning Sofía Vergara.
You look incredible.
I happen to be a fashion guru myself
and one of the most handsome men on the planet.
I'm thinking, why don't you have
your people call my people,
and let's do lunch.
[audience shouting] [buzzer buzzes]
And you.
You.
All the tight t-shirts in the world
can't save you from me, Simon.
When I'm done with you,
you're gonna wish you were riding
that electric bike again. - Oh, shut up.
- "America's Got Talent"? I got talent.
[buzzer buzzes] One million dollars.
[audience shouting]
- You know, there are people out there
who question whether professional wrestling is real,
and I'm here to tell you, as a witness,
this was absolutely,
100% real bad.
- You don't even know what good stuff is!
You don't even know, you jabronis!
[P!nk's "So What"]
- Sofía, what did you think?
- There was nothing delicious about that.
- Forget you all!
- All right. - I'm amazing!
- Boo. [audience booing]
- Heidi, what'd you think?
- Yeah, that's right. Boo me, baby.
- You guys are not booing loud enough!
[audience booing]
- Boo? Who do you think you are?
- Boo! - I'm the best!
- Simon, what did you think?
- I think he won the crowd over.
- That's right, I sure did.
- They hate you.
- That's all right, I love me.
That's all that matters.
- He's the heel of this crowd right now.
- Let's vote. It's a no from me.
- This is wrong! - It's a no for me.
- Forget you all!
- No, no, no!
- Oh, boo-hoo-hoo.
- I would have said yes.
- That's right!
Because I'm the greatest!
- You can't say yes. You already said no.
- They are right over there. - Bye.
- It's a mistake. - Forget you all!
I don't need any of you!
- Hasta la vista.
- You can talk to them right there.
- Hasta la vista! Hasta la vista!
[audience booing]
- They all suck.
- What was that?
- They liked it.
- You haven't seen the last of me,
"America's Got Talent"!
- * Whoo *
- [shouts]
[shouts]
- Coming up...
- * Ah *
- We've never really had anyone
that is as good as you.
[cheers and applause]
[Martha Reeves' "Dancing in the Streets"]
all: "AGT," "AGT," "AGT!"
- I can't believe we're here.
- I can't believe we found parking.
- * Callin' out around the world *
- I don't know what's gonna happen out there,
but we're gonna rock it,
and we're gonna be in it together.
- Hell yeah, man. - I love you, dude.
- I love you, too.
- * And record playing *
* And dancing in the streets *
* Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear *
- What advice do you have
to have a successful audition?
- I think the most important thing for them
is to come prepared and do the best you can
and have fun,
because we can see that.
We can feel that.
[cheers and applause]
- We got this, I'm ready. - So am I.
- Are you guys ready to see some talent?
- Yes!
- All right, here we go, guys.
In three, two, one.
[cheers and applause]
- Hey, guys. - Hello.
- Hey.
- And what are your names, please?
- I'm Jordan. - And I'm Taylor.
- Together... - We're the...
both: Moon City Masters.
- And how did you meet?
- Friend of a friend, you know, our mom.
Born at the same time. - Nine months in the womb.
[laughter]
- Are you kidding?
- Oh, you're twins.
- Yeah. - Yes.
[laughter]
- And what do you hope to achieve by being on the show?
Tell me what's the dream.
- We want to tour the world and make albums
and just--this be our job.
We love this more than anything.
- Yeah. - This is our dream,
and that's what we want to do for the rest of our lives.
- All right, good luck, guys. [cheers and applause]
- I'm married to a twin. [laughs]
They look like my husband and my husband's brother.
- [laughs]
- One, two, three, hit it!
[The Moon City Masters' "I've Got a Feeling"]
* *
- * I've got a feeling *
* A feeling deep inside *
* Oh, yeah *
both: * I've got a feeling *
- * A feeling I can't hide *
both: Oh, no.
- Oh, no!
both: Yeah, yeah!
[buzzer buzzes]
Oh, yeah! [audience shouting]
- That was actually very boring.
- Yeah.
It was very, kind of, sleepy.
Dun-dun-duh.
[audience booing] Oh, shut up.
- Aww.
- I thought that was gonna be a lot better.
Sorry.
- See, I'm in a slightly better mood,
because I love twins, obviously.
I would say give them a shot,
so I'm gonna give you a yes.
- Nice guys.
However, for me, I'm sorry,
based on what I've seen,
I have to say no. Sorry.
- I'm gonna have to say no. - For me, it's a no.
- Right on. Well, thanks, guys.
- Well, look, nice to meet you both.
Sorry about that.
- Aww.
At least they have each other.
- Next act is coming up. Let's clear the stage.
- Hey, what's up?
My name is Terry.
- I'm Randy. That Jason.
both: We are the Sklar Brothers.
- Ahh!
Go make it happen, guys.
- All right, thank you, my brother.
- "AGT" in the house.
- Good evening.
- Hi, guys. - Hello.
- Thank you for being with us tonight.
So, what are your names?
- So my name's Randy. That's Jason.
We are the Sklar Brothers.
- Yes. - And we're twins.
- There's, like, an energy between you two.
- Yeah. - it's called a hatred.
I'm just kidding. It's not a hatred.
- No, no, no. It's love.
- Some twins, like, kind of, like, finish their sentences--
- I'm married to a twin.
- Are you really? - Yes.
- Are you connected? - So people say that.
"Have you guys finished each other sentences?"
- And I would say that I've never gotten to finish
a sentence in my life, because of him--
- Okay, all right. - So that is frustrating.
But it's good. We're good.
- And are you guys married?
- Yes, we're married. - We are married, yes.
- And with kids and everything? both: Yes.
- What does the wife and kids think about this?
- Oh, they love it. - Yeah.
- Our kids are very excited.
- My son was a little nervous about Simon.
He said, "I hope Simon likes you."
I was like, "Is that a threat? Why--what?"
[laughter] "Do you know Simon?"
Like, I don't understand.
No, but my kids love it.
- Okay. We're excited that we're here.
We want to see what you have.
So, good luck, guys.
[cheers and applause] - Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
- Well, we are so happy to be here.
Let me re-phrase that.
We are so happy to be away from our kids.
- Yes. [laughter]
We have kids. - Though not together.
- That would be weird if we had kids together.
- We each have two kids.
- And that is two many kids.
- Yeah.
The only good thing about having two kids
is that if anybody has less than you
and they're complaining about anything...
- Yes. - You can leave
the conversation you're in mid-sentence,
walk over to them, and publicly humiliate them.
- And that feels so good.
- Feels great.
Friend of ours was onstage, a comedian,
he did a 15-minute set
about how his one 17-month-old kid
was ruining his life.
- How hard it was to raise, yeah,
one 17-month-old kid.
I was like, "Dude, if you just have
"one 17-month-old kid,
you're a parent like an optometrist is a doctor:
Barely, barely." - You're barely a parent.
[laughter]
You're a doctor like Dr. Dre is a doctor.
both: Barely. Barely.
- I don't even know if he practices anymore.
- Small gynecology.
- Dr. Dre has a small gynecology practice.
[laughter]
- Where? - City of Compton.
- City of Compton? both: City of Compton.
- Yeah.
[laughter]
- If you don't know what a 17-month-old kid is,
we will explain it to you, okay?
It is a dog that occasionally talks.
That's all that a 17-month-old is.
[laughter]
- Then I love our friends that just have pets
and can't handle that.
- A pet is too much.
- We're like, "Hey man, we're getting a drink after the show.
You want to come with us?" both: "Nah.
I gotta get home and let the dog out."
- "That's my baby."
- "That's my boy."
- "It's like raising a kid."
both: "It's exactly like raising a child."
- We're like... both: "Is it?"
- 'Cause if you can tie it up
while you go have brunch,
it's not a kid, okay?
- It's not a kid, no, no. - That's not a kid.
If it runs away, and two weeks later,
you're like, "Let's just get another one and..."
both: "Call it the same name," it is not a kid!
[laughter]
- If you can openly have sex in front of it...
both: It is not a kid.
- If it turns 15
and you're thinking about putting it to sleep...
That actually is a kid.
That is a horrible teenager
that you gotta put down.
Thank you very much.
We're the Sklar Brothers.
[cheers and applause]
- That was so funny.
[Sister Sledge's "We Are Family"]
I have to say,
I have never in my life
experienced anything like that.
- Well, hey.
- Never, never, never seen two comedians
together like that.
How in sync. - Thank you, thank you.
- Heidi.
- I must admit we've had some comedians on the stage
where I have laughed more,
and out loud,
and almost tears came out of my eyes.
I mean, I did not really have that this time around.
- Boo. - It's subjective.
That's why we have four people sitting here.
- Yes. Different tastes.
- I love it, I think it's just really cool to have,
like, two people, twins.
- 100%. I agree.
- Different. Howie?
- I love them.
In this day and age,
it's hard enough to do comedy,
and then find somebody that has the perfect timing.
it's like a rhythm. - Yeah.
- They do finish each other's sentences.
- I know exactly what you mean.
- Yeah. There you go.
Nice job. That was great.
- Like twins.
- I love it. - Identical twins.
- I love you guys.
- Thanks. - Simon, what did you think?
- The fact there's two of you, it was unique,
it was different, naughty.
- Good.
- Yeah, I really like you two.
- Thanks. - You really made me laugh.
- Thank you.
- Can I be the first to give you a yes?
both: Yes! - Yes.
- Thanks, brother. Thank you.
- Take that home to your son.
- I will. - Yeah.
- Howie. - A second yes.
- Yes. - Thank you.
- Heidi. - I give you a yes as well...
because I heard the whole audience laughing,
so I go with them. - Thank you, Heidi.
- Peer pressure. - Four yes.
- Yes!
Thank you so much.
* *
- * I got all my sisters with me *
- The Sklar Bros, yeah!
[cheering]
- Thank you, Terry. Thank you, Terry.
- Dude, you killed it. - That was fun.
- To me, that's like comedy music.
I like that rhythm of hearing, like, two people talking.
- That's difficult.
- See, I have that at home all the time.
- This audience and this "AGT" stage
is just such a big one that we're psyched to be here.
- Yes. - We got four yeses.
- Four yeses! Yes.
[cheering]
- Even Simon?
both: Even Simon.

Do you know how to do that?
'Cause I think you do.
[cheers and applause]

- It's not to you.

* On the catwalk, yeah *
* I shake my little tush on the catwalk *
- What is going on?
- That's beautiful.
- Whoa.
- You like?
- Oh, my God.
- Heidi, I'm gonna give you a Golden Buzzer, Heidi.
[cheers and applause] - [laughs]
- I don't think that was much of an act.
I'm gonna say no. - Aw.
- Yeah.
I want to say yes to myself and to you.
We were fabulous.
- I don't think it's an "AGT" performance.
Sorry. No.
- Aww, I'm sorry.
- You gonna wear that for the rest of the show?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- Are you nervous about it?
- I'm so nervous. - Really nervous?
- Really, really, really.
My name is Lea Kyle,
I'm 25 years old,
and I'm a quick change artist.
I always loved fashion.
I'm so excited to meet Heidi Klum,
because she's a queen of fashion.
I became a beautician.
It wasn't my dream job,
but it was a way for me
to make a living.
It's amazing.
Eight years ago, I met my boyfriend, Florian.
[warm piano music]
Last year, he was in "America's Got Talent."
[cheers and applause]
- What?
* *
- One day, Florian asked me to perform with him.
It was my first time on stage.
Being very shy,
it was a real challenge for me.
I was so nervous,
but seeing the audience react
was incredible.
I decided to combine
my two passions:
performing and fashion.
I made just enough money
to buy the fabrics and make my costumes.
Florian is my biggest supporter.
- I love you. I'm proud of you.
- I love you, too.
- We're ready for you on stage now.
- So even though
I'm still extremely nervous...
[cheers and applause]
This is my moment, and I'm ready.
- Hello. - Hello.
- What's your name?
- My name is Lea Kyle.
- Where are you from, Lea? - I come from France.
- Ah. From Paris?
- No, from Bordeaux,
the wine city.
- Ooh. Yummy.
So, what brings you to "America's Got Talent"?
- I hope "America's Got Talent" will change my life.
My big dream is to run my own show in Las Vegas.
[laughs]
- What does it mean for you to be here?
- It means everything.
No? It's not--
sorry, I don't speak English.
- No, that was-- I understood the answer.
- Yeah, that was a good answer. - Yeah.
- The answer was right. - Good answer.
- Well, I'm very excited to see
what you're going to do.
I see already a lot
of glitzy gorgeous dresses over there.
- Yeah. - Good luck to you.
- Thank you.

- Thank you so much.
- You're the best I've ever seen.
- Thank you, thank you.
- I mean, you Howie got so excited next to me.
- Yes. - He's like, "Oh, whoa!"
- 'Cause I've got to tell you,
we've seen quick change artists on this show.
I've never seen one better than you.
- Oh, thank you so much.
- Wow. - Absolutely.
- It's true. - No, it is true.
Because to see the outfit fly in thin air
from the hanger to you is magic.
And your presentation is beautiful.
- Yeah. - Thank you.
- Don't change everything.
No, change everything.
Keep changing.
Don't go change-- keep coming and changing.
- What did you think, Sofía?
- I am so, like, in shock.
You were having a great time while you were doing it.
It was beautiful.
- Thank you so much. Thank you.
- Whoo!
- Simon.
- I think normally when we see this kind of act,
there's always two people normally in the act.
- Yeah, yeah. - And the music's terrible.
This was, like, very, very cool.
And you have amazing showmanship.
- Yes. - Wow.
- It was world class. - Thank you so much.
- I loved it too.
I mean, you were doing real magic.
[cheers and applause]
It was absolutely incredible and flawless.
I mean, you know how much I love fashion.
And I feel like we've never really had anyone
that is as good as you.
- No.
- So I feel like you should go straight to the live shows.
What do you think?
- What? - Whoa!
- Yeah?
Yes!

- Listen, I could not do that. - Yeah.
- But I see people doing that all the time...
- Where? - Equally--at the gym.
- No. - What gym is he talking about?
- What gym do you go to
where they do that?
- Yeah. What gym?
- You don't even go to the gym.
- Well, I'm not seeing anything
I haven't seen before.
- You're the Grinch.
- [laughs]
- But it doesn't seem like much.
- Well, it doesn't matter, because we're gonna say yes,
the three of us.
So let's vote. Heidi.

- I agree, yes. You should be on Broadway.
And here too, for everyone to hear your beautiful voice.
I mean, it is incredible.
- Thank you.
- That means the world to me. Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- Look, you know how many people are trying
to get record contracts right now?
It's, like, I've never known anything like it.
You gotta cut through the noise,
and I think the most important thing
is knowing where you want to end up.
- Thank you.
- It was a brilliantly chosen song,
and I can see huge potential for you.
[cheers and applause]
Howie.
- There's no mistaking
that you have a powerful voice.
- Thank you.
- And I think that you have the energy,
you have the stage presence. You checked every box.
But honestly,
I don't enjoy that kind of music,
so for me, it's a no.
[audience booing] - You are--
who doesn't enjoy musical theater?
- How do you even put a no on that voice?
- I actually don't think you're booing loud enough.
[audience booing]
- Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na...
I can't hear you.
- You know what,
I think it's time that we stand up
to the Howies of this world...
- [laughs]
- And make a statement here
and say to the Howies of this world,
we're not gonna take this anymore, Howie.
We're not gonna listen to people like you anymore.
We're gonna support talent.
- Thank you.
- We're gonna encourage talent. Heidi.
- Of course, it's a big, fat yes.
- Thank you so much.
- I'm gonna be your second yes.
- Thank you.
- We're sending Tory into the next round,
because you have talent.
- Thank you. - And we will not crush you.
And we won't crush other people anymore.
Thanks to you.
Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you, Simon.
- Aw, Howie,
do you have to cry now?
Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
- It meant the world that Simon said that.
Like, that just made me so happy.
- Do you want a--
do you want a candy fish?
- Is there anything you want to say to anybody out there?
- Don't give up,
even when the Howies of this world tell you no.
- Welcome to "America's Got Talent."
What's your name?
- My name's Peter Antoniou,
I'm 31, from London, and I'm a psychic.
As a child, I was always a little odd.
I ended up realizing
that I had a natural gift that was really unique,
and I sort of became obsessed with this idea
of being able to tell what's in people's minds
and maybe predict their futures.
Over the years, working on this ability and honing it,
clearing my mind before I go on stage is really important.
There's noise and people in the audience
and things going on in my own life.
And I need to be able to turn that down.
[loud cacophony]
I sort of just tune at out.
When I'm inside someone's mind,
it's a lot like when
you've just woken up from a dream,
and you've got, like, those, like,
flashes of feelings and pictures,
but as you're waking up,
more and you're sort of forgetting it,
and it's sort of drifting away,
and I'm constantly trying to restitch it together
and figure out how it connects
to the person in front of me.
I understand why people could be quite scared of it,
because it's their deepest, darkest thoughts.
It's a really big opportunity
for me to showcase my abilities
to a big group of people
on "America's Got Talent."
I hope that I make a connection with the judges,
and I can't wait to get inside their minds.
- Hello.
- And what's your name, please?
- My name's Peter Antoniou.
- You sound British.
- I am indeed British.
I grew up in London,
and I recently moved to Seattle, Washington.
- Did you? - Wow.
[cheers and applause]
- Is this a real beard? It's amazing.
- Oh, thank you very much.
Yeah, I'm half-Greek, so this is sort of--
I came out of the womb with this, basically.
- It's good. [laughter]
- Okay, so tell us your story, Peter.
- So, when I was nine, I was on holiday,
and I bought a tarot deck
just on a bit of a whim.
I was always a bit of a weird kid.
And ever since then I've sort of been fascinated
with developing sort of psychic powers
and being able to read into people's minds.
So, since then, I've just been building that into a career.
- Interesting.
And Peter, this means something to you
to do well in this competition? - Yeah.
I knew that moving to America was gonna be, like, a big risk,
but I knew that I wanted more for myself,
and doing well in "America's Got Talent"
is the sort of--
the key to unlocking all of that.
So, it means so much to me.
[cheers and applause] - Okay.
Well look, I'm not gonna ask any more questions.
We're all wishing you the best of luck.
- Thank you very much. - So, let's do it.
[cheers and applause]
- So, in my 20s,
I actually worked as a psychic,
so people used to ask questions
about their love life or their career,
but every now and then,
someone would ask whether I could use
my abilities to find something
that they'd lost,
whether that was an item of jewelry
or the family gold.
Let me show you what I mean.
Terry, will you come out here and join us?
- Yes, sir. - Terry Crews, everyone.
[cheers and applause]
So to replicate the experience of losing something,
I made our own "America's Got Talent" house.
So each room is themed for one of the judges.
So Howie, you've got your room.
We've got a little microphone in there for your new podcast.
And Terry, we've got your gym,
with some little dumbbells for you.
Sofía, I know that you love find dining,
so we've got some food in there for you
and an X-ray of teeth,
'cause I know that you have a background in dentistry.
Heidi, your love of fashion, but also painting,
so we've got lots of art supplies in there for you,
and a cat, 'cause I know you recently got a cat.
And Simon, I've put the things that you love
the most in the world for your room,
so we've got your dogs and pictures of you.
So... [laughter]
But something's gonna go missing from this house.
Terry, I'm gonna look away in a moment.
I want you to pick something from the house
and make it go missing.
Hide it somewhere, okay? - Okay.
- So I'll look away, so that you know I'm not looking.
And just choose an object, any one that you'd like,
and hide it somewhere, and let me know
as soon as you've done that.
- Okay. - Done?
- Yes. - Perfect.
Something that I learned is actually we're all
far more similar than we realize.
People tend to lose their objects
in mostly the same places, which made my job a lot easier.
In fact, I actually recorded a voicemail message
just to save myself time.
In fact, to save time, I'll just play it for you.
[suspenseful music]
[line trilling]
You're through to Peter.
I'm unable to take your call right now,
but if you're looking for a lost object,
Tauruses, it's under the stairs.
Libras, it's behind the sofa.
And if you're a Leo called Terry Crews,
the baseball bat's in your left pocket.
And is that right? Did you choose the baseball bat?
- Yeah.
- And is it in your left pocket?
- Yeah. - Oh.
- I did.
[cheers and applause]
[laughs] What in the world?
- And I realize that's a phone message,
so the skeptical amongst you might be thinking,
"Oh, he just has a thousand voicemails saved."
So I also...
went analog.
[audience oohs]
[cheers and applause]
- Wow.
- Thank you so much, Terry.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- For "America's Got Talent," I wanted to push my skills
much further, so do any of the judges
have an item of jewelry they're really connected to?
Sofía, I can see your engagement ring there.
I want you to relive the memory of your engagement.
Maybe think of a detail that only you and Joe know.
Maybe your close family.
Something that there's no way I could know.
- Yeah. - Got something in mind?
Now, Sofía, will you take off your engagement ring
and hand it to Simon, please?
- Ooh.
- You can trust him, don't worry.
- [groans]
[laughter]
- My God. - Oops.
- So now, Simon has that engagement ring
that means so much to you.
We're going to lose it.
- No, no. - Oh!
- Judges, stand up and come with me.
- What the heck? - Okay.
- Let's go, people. - Okay.
- Yeah? Okay. - What is happening?
- Let's do this. Where are we going?
- Coming up...
- I laid out a thousand ring boxes.
Simon, you are now gonna go and lose Sofía's ring.
- O-M-G.
- So now, Sofía, Simon has that engagement ring
that means so much to you.
We're going to lose it.
- No, no. - Oh!
- Judges, stand up and come with me.
- Okay. - Yeah.
- Let's go, people. - Okay.
- Yeah? Okay. - What is happening?
- Let's do this. Where are we going?
[suspenseful music]
* *
- Ooh. - Wow.
- So come on around. - O-M-G.
- [chuckles]
- So as you can see, whilst you were watching the other acts,
I laid out a thousand ring boxes.
Simon, you're now gonna go and lose Sofía's ring
in one of the boxes.
So in a moment, Sofía and I are gonna turn away
so that we can't peak at all,
and you can walk around the room and choose
one of the boxes and put Sofía's ring in it.
- Okay. - Happy with that?
- Yeah. Yeah. - Perfect.
Sofía, we're gonna look away so that we can't see.
- Okay. - Any box?
- Look away, so it can be a surprise
for you as well as me.
- Okay. I'm gonna get a bigger diamond?
No. [both chuckle]
- Any box you like, Simon.
* *
- No peeking.
- Where do you get this many white boxes?
- Actually, I've changed my mind.
- I ordered them online, and there was a lot of
very confused phone calls about why I wanted them.
[Howie chuckles]
* *
- Are you ready? - Yeah.
- Got it. - Can we turn around?
- Yeah. - Yep.
- Okay, so you've hidden the-the ring somewhere.
Now it's my job to try and find it.
Sofía. - Yes.
- I want you to bring to mind the memory
that is attached to the that ring.
So everything about it, the details that only you know.
The clearer it is in your mind, the more likely it is
that I'll be able to find your ring.
- It's very clear. - Very clear in your mind.
- Yes. - I'm gonna set off.
Okay, so just keep reliving that memory in your mind.
And just sort of guide me, like as if you--
as if you did know where it was.
You just sort of--you're magnetically drawn toward--no.
Just keep--
Oh, I think I know where it is.
- Have you got a psychic impression?
- What? - Why?
- Are you psychic too now?
* *
- Whoa. - Hey. Ooh.
* *
- When-when you proposed, you weren't at home, were you?
You were-you were somewhere else.
You were far away. - Yes.
And the plans had to change for your engagement.
- Yes, yes. - Yes.
- Oh, yeah? - Uh-huh.
- Mmm.
* *
- Sofía, how confident are you that I'm holding your ring?
- Like, zero. - Zero?
- Yeah. There's no way you know that that's there.
- Your ring, with all the memories
and emotions attached--
you guided me to your lost ring.
You didn't even know where it was.
So let's see how we did.
* *
Your ring.
And there's a detail--
- Amazing. - I'm gonna throw up.
- But there's a detail about your engagement
that sort of stuck in your mind, that no one knows.
Joe got down on one knee, and as he did,
there was a rainbow.
Is that correct?
Yes? Yes?
I am sort of down on my knee, Sofía,
so you could put me out of my misery anytime you like.
Perfect. Thank you very much.
- How did you know that?
- Where was the rainbow?
- He was gonna propose by the ocean,
but then he panicked, and he came upstairs
to the room and proposed to me in the room.
And then suddenly, he gave me the ring,
and I look up, and there was a rainbow.
- Oh, my God. - It was beautiful.
- That's amazing.
Can we go downstairs and judge you?
- Yep. - Absolutely, let's go.
- Let's. - Let's do it.
- That's so crazy!
- * I remember years ago someone told me *
- Whoo!
- Whoa. - Hi.
- Howie, what did you think? - I actually love you, Peter.
I think that you are very smooth and confident.
That was a terrific audition.
- Thank you very much. - Yeah. Heidi?
- I loved it too. It was fun.
It was interactive. I love you.
I love your beard. I love the whole thing. Well done.
And I'm happy she has her ring back, too.
- I want to say that there's no way that you knew that
about a rainbow, because no one--no one knows that.
Like, that story has not been on the press or nothing.
So that was amazing.
And that you found the ring--
it's a little bigger, the diamond, but it's fine.
I like it. Thank you.
[laughter]
- The first part of the act was great.
The second part, I changed my mind
three or four times, and it was very elaborate.
It was amazing. - Thank you so much.
- Yeah. - Well done.
- Okay, right.
We're gonna vote. The important part. Howie.
- Yes. - Heidi.
- Yes. - Yeah!
- Sofía. - Yes.
- Peter, you got four yeses. Congratulations.
- Thank you so much. - Bravo!

- You were right. - "I told you."
- Yeah, you were not kidding.
[cheers and applause]
- Howie.
- You said, "We are an amazing dance group."
You are absolutely on the money.
That is my favorite dance this entire season.
- Thank you so much! [cheers and applause]
- Heidi.
- I loved how you guys just hit us with the first note.
Like, the music started, it was like,
"Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum." Very cool.
I didn't quite understand what was happening behind the sheet.
There were, like, three formations happening.
That part, I didn't get. You?
- It was great. I loved it.
- Thank you. Thank you. - Thank you!

- This season, our partners at Sonic
created a place for contestants backstage,
where they really get to own their moment.
Check out our favorite moments from the Sonic Glowasis.
- It just felt so electric.
- Whatever lights you up, do that.
- I'm gonna be 64 years old,
and I'm jumping around like a lunatic.
- To get four yeses, as a comedian,
is just-is just amazing.
- Howie called me a superhero, which is insane.
- That was just so much fun.
[line trilling]
- Hi, guys.
- Hi. - How are you, guys?
- Can you believe we're here? - My God, no.
[laughter]
- I'm so proud of you and your accomplishments.
- Thanks, Pops. - I'm about to go on stage.
- You're gonna do great. - Thank you, sis.
Thank you, bro. - All right.
"America's Got Talent"'s ready for you.
- Yes!
- Go out there, Jay, and make it happen.
It's your time. - Thank you so much.
- Thank you. - I appreciate it.
[cheers and applause]
- Hi.
- Good evening. - Hi.
- Thank you for being here tonight.
What is your name?
- My name is Jay. - And where are you from, Jay?
- I'm from the Dominican Republic.
- Oh, wow.
- But I came here when I was 15, to Philadelphia.
- How old are you now? - I am 29 years old.
- What are you doing here on "AGT"?
- Ever since I came to United States,
and is started seeing "AGT," I told my dad, I was like,
"I'm gonna be there one day.
"So, you know, I don't know what you're gonna do,
but I'm gonna be."
- And what did he say when--?
- And he was like, "Yeah, she is. I guess she is."
So I'm doing it, you know, in honor of my parents.
both: Aww. - Okay.
Are they happy that you're here?
- I want to say that they are.
They're in heaven.
- Aww.
Can I ask what happened, or--?
- We used to own a grocery store in Philadelphia.
Unfortunately, a few years ago, we were robbed,
and...
they were murdered in front of me.
- Oh! - Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
- So I had to become the big sister for my...
siblings.
And stopped my dreams.
It's a long process for all of us.
I finally decided to, you know, focus on my music
that I know they loved to see me doing all the time.
And I really hope that they are happy today seeing me here.
- I'm sure they're happy,
and they're proud that you're here.
- Yes. - Yeah.
- Just by having the strength to survive
something so horrific, it says a lot about you.
And we're happy that you're here.
We can't wait to hear you sing.
- I appreciate it. Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
[gentle piano music]
* Standing on the platform *
* Watching you go *
* It's like no other pain *
* I've ever known *
* To love someone so much *
* To have no control *
* You said I want to see the world *
* And I said go *
* But I think I'm lost *
* Without you *
* I just feel crushed *
* Without you *
* It's me at full speed *
* Feel like I can't breathe *
* And nobody knows *
* This pain inside me *
* My world is crumbling *
* I should never *
* Let you go *
* I think I'm lost *
* Lost *
* Ooh-way *
* 'Cause I've been strong for so long *
* I never thought *
* How much I love you *
* But I think I'm lost *
* Without you *
[cheers and applause]
- Oh, my God.
[gentle music]
- Wow.
[cheers and applause]
- Bravo!
- Thank you.
- They're clapping for you from up there, for sure.
That was spectacular. Howie.
- I'll tell you something, as somebody in this business,
you know,, we get interviewed, and they say to me,
you know, "How do you want to be remembered?"
And I always say, "My legacy is already here.
My legacy is my children."
So I felt like I was listening to your parents,
and they are here, and I hear them
through your voice and through your heart.
- Aww. - Aww.
- And it was just so beautiful. Wow.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. - Heidi.
- It was moving, you know?
Your singing-- I mean, you can feel every
word that you're singing,
everything that you went through, and at the same time,
your strength for actually showing up and doing you.
You've been taking care of everyone around you.
Now is your time.
So I'm ready to celebrate you in your time.
- Thank you. Thank you so much.
- I think we all are, yes? - Thank you.
- Simon.
- I think--look, what you just did was, I mean, incredible.
To be able to sing a song like that,
with that lyric, with all those memories,
you know, in your head, I think, is extraordinary.
Genuinely extraordinary.
It was a beautiful audition.
And people like you are the reason why we make
this show, genuinely, you know?
- Thank you so much.
- I think you're an incredible person.
- That's means a lot. Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
- Howie, let's start voting. - Yes.
- Thank you. - Heidi.
- Yes. - Thank you.
- Yes. - I appreciate it.
- Yes. - Thank you.
- * Let beauty come out of ashes *
- Bye-bye. - Thank you.
- * Let beauty come out of ashes *
- Oh, my God. - How the hell do you do that?
- That was-- - I mean, the memories
must begin coming back, as she singing that lyric.
- That's horrific.
- "Lost without you." - Yeah.
- Jay, you rocked it. That was so beautiful.
- It's a dream come true just to be here and get yeses.
- That's inspiring... - Mm-hmm.
- To be witness to it, and at that close.
And then, to go follow your dream.
- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.
- Good for her. - Yeah.
- Whoo!
Yes.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
I can't believe this.
