[wild cheering]
- Absolutely fantastic.
- This was amazing. This was special.
- People were practicing and hoping and dreaming.
- This is the beginning of an amazing journey.
- I'm not gonna give you a yes.
I'm gonna give you something else.
- What a message to America. What a message to the world.
I've never seen anything like this in my life.
- I loved it!
- It was absolutely incredible.
- We are all going to give you something special.

for these acts right now in the last audition?
This is it.
- Well, you know, it's like the Olympics, isn't it?
You train, and you train.
And literally two minutes
can change your life forever.
Confidence, talent,
but those two minutes in particular,
that's what you gotta think about.
- I'm gonna let these acts get their two minutes.
Are you ready for "America's Got Talent"?
- * Oh, yeah, yeah *

["Spring" from Vivaldi's "Four Seasons"]
My name is Shai, this is Bini,
and we are a performing duo from Los Angeles.
Bini is the most talented rabbit in the world.
Bini knows how to comb my hair. He's an athlete.
He knows how to play musical instruments.
He likes to paint, and his paintings are so beautiful.
[chewing]
I adopted Bini when he was only a few weeks old.
He's very, very much of a diva.
He has his own food.
Like, the fridge is full with veggies.
He's not locked in a cage. The house belongs to him.
He's always eager to learn new tricks.
Every day I'm surprised about what he can do.
And the basketball game
is a game that he developed for himself.
And hello, LeBron James, the bunny.
Bini's my best friend, and we are here to win.
- Come on, let's hear some applause, folks.
[cheers and applause]
- Hi, welcome to "AGT." What's your name?
- Shai.
- Yeah, and this is
Bini the bunny.
We moved to LA about five years ago
from Israel,
and we want to make people understand
that rabbits are amazing, and they are intelligent,
and they deserve more respect.
People don't understand-- - They don't respect rabbits.
- No.
- We have had animal acts in "America's Got Talent."
Do you think Bini could win "AGT" this year?
- I know that Bini's going to win this year.
- Really? Fantastic. - Wow!
- So you put five years of work
into what we're going to see tonight.
- Yes. - Five years, one rabbit.
Amaze us.
[cheers and applause]
- I've got a good feeling.
[cheers and applause]
- Hello, everyone!
This is Bini, my supernatural rabbit.
We can speak with Bini.
Bini, can you turn around?
Can you turn around, please?
Show everyone how you turn around.
Very nice, very nice.
Now, Bini has been training
for this moment for a long time.
So, come over here.
Let's go bowling.
Let's see, let's see.
Oh, my God, oh, my God, it was almost a strike! Amazing.
- Wow, it was amazing. - But, you know,
anyone can bowl, even a rabbit.
So, Bini, let's show everyone here
your best basketball slam dunk.
- He's gonna dunk the ball?
[drumroll]
- Here you go. [audience laughing]
Just a second.
We will get back to this.
- Back to that. [laughing]
- Bini's not only an athlete.
Bini knows how to play some musical instruments.
For example, the guitar.
[drumroll]
[plucks string] - Very nice, very nice.
- Fantastic.
- And if the guitar wasn't enough,
what do you think about the piano?
[drumroll]
We'll get back to that.
- All right, get back to that.
- Bini wants to be a judge on this show.
Bini can take notes like Simon does.
* *
[buzzer]
- No, take the note. - Just a second.
- Yeah, give him a second.
- The rabbit hasn't done anything.
- Give him a second and he can do it.
- We'll get back to that. - Yes.
- Don't rush the bunny.
- Now let's go back to the basketball.
- [laughing]
["Also sprach Zarathustra" by Strauss]
* *
- [slow motion] Whoa...
[wild cheering]
- What? He dunked the ball!
- That was Bini the bunny, and he was amazing.
["Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor]
- That was amazing!
* *
- I liked how you were in the moment.
When things weren't working,
you said, "We'll get back to that."
I like that-- that you don't give up.
The bunny didn't do a lot.
- It's why people prefer dogs to rabbits as pets
because dogs do things, and in my experience,
rabbits don't do much.
- [laughing] - [audience booing]
- Look at him. You're hurting him.
- He's a rabbit! - Well--
- They just like going in the garden.
- But he can do so much more. - He can't.
- Yeah, all right, well, let's vote.
I think you deserve one more shot.
It's a yes. Simon?
- I just don't think rabbits are meant to do this.
That's why I'm gonna say no.
- Heidi? - I want to know what were--
- No, no. - Okay, so Bini can paint.
- He can paint? - No, he can't paint.
He can't bowl. He can't basketball.
He's a rabbit.
- How many rabbits played basketball on this show?
- Yes, yes!
- I haven't seen one.
I kind of want to see him paint.
It's a yes for me.
- Okay, Sofía, he has two yeses, one no.
[crowd chanting]
- * Don't lose your grip *
* On the chains of the past, you must fight... *
- So what do you say, Sofía? - I'm saying yes.
[wild cheering]
- * It's the eye of the tiger *
* It's the thrill of the fight *
* Rising up to the challenge of our rival *
- Thank you so much. - Bye, bunny man.
- * And the last known survivor *
* Stalks his prey in the night *
* And he's watching us all... *
- I can't wait to see the painting.
- * The eye of the tiger *
- That was ama--first of all,
I saw the real "Space Jam" right there.
The bunny dunked the basketball.
- It's super hard to train a bunny.
- And he proved that. - He bit the guitar.
- Two minutes can change your life on this show.
- No! - What?
- Sofía, stop it.
- I am not going to stop a woman that is eating cake.
- I absolutely love this audition.
- * Take off your shirt *
- I loved it. I love how you just let loose.
- 160 yeses.
- And we have to cut that down to 36 tonight?
- Yep. - Are you kidding me?
- Stand by, guys, stand by.
- Can we get the next act
to the side of the stage, please?
- * I got my driver's license last week *
* Like we always talked about *
- Let's start with your name.
- My name is Savannah.
I am 20 years old.
I'm from Pleasantville, New Jersey.
- Tell me what the dream is.
- Everybody always says that I remind them
of a little Beyoncé. I don't want to be that.
I want to be Savannah. I want to be my own person.
And I just am really excited to be here.
- Great. Good to hear.
- * And I know we weren't perfect *
* But I've never felt this way for no one *
* And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay *
* Now that I'm gone *
- I think you're going to be a star.
- * Guess you didn't mean what you wrote *
* In that song about me *
- You've got an amazing voice
and you've got great taste as well.
- I want to give you the first yes.
- Yes! Heidi.
- Yes.
- You got four yeses, word up.
- Thank you guys so much.
* Felt this way for no one *
- She doesn't even know how good she is.
[cheers and applause]
- Good evening.
- Hello. - What is your name?
- I'm Zac Taylor.
- What are you going to do for us?
- Oh, I'm singing.
- Where you from, Zac?
- Uh, the UK.
- So you flew in to this audition?
- Yeah. - So this is your dream.
- Yes, it's definitely my dream.
* You're the coffee that I need in the morning *
* You're my sunshine in the rain when it's pouring *
* Won't you give yourself to me and give it all *
* I just wanna see *
* I just wanna see how beautiful you are *
* You know that I see it *
* I know you're a star *
* Where you go I follow *
* No matter how far *
- That was adorable.
I think the girls were going crazy.
Did you--did you hear them?
- I was thinking the same thing.
- And it's like, wow! [wild cheering]
- You are very cool, very talented.
I mean, that's really genuine and what made a difference.
- So I'm guessing that's a yes. - Yes.
- Yes!
- Congratulations! - Thank you.
Thank you all. Thank you so much.
- I liked him. - Yes.
- Something very sweet about him.
- All right, here we go, folks, here we go.
- Are you ready for this?
- I-- I'm nervous. [laughs nervously]
Growing up, I was watching
"America's Got Talent" every week,
so never in my life would I expect to--to be here.
This is the opportunity of my life,
to chase my biggest dream,
which is doing music for the rest of my life.
[cheers and applause]
- Good evening. - Bonjour.
- What is your name? - My name is Gabriella,
and I'm a French Canadian from Montreal.
- Oh. [cheers and applause]
- Gabriella, so I'm guessing that you're gonna play
the violin for us tonight. - Yes.
- And "AGT" has been your dream for a long time?
- Oh, yeah, I thought the American Dream
could come true, you know?
And I've been dreaming of that moment
since I can remember,
so it's very unique to be here.
- Well, we're happy that you're here.
- Thank you.
- Okay, good luck tonight. - Thank you so much.
[cheers and applause]

[piano playing]
[playing "Goodbye My Lover" by James Blunt]
* *
- * Did I disappoint you or let you down *
- No.
- * Should I be feeling guilty *
* Or let the judges frown *
* You touched my heart, you touched my soul *
* You changed my life and all my goals *
* And love is blind and that I knew *
* When my heart was blinded by you *
* I know your fears and you know mine *
* We had our doubts but now we're fine *
* And I love you, I swear that's true *
* I cannot live without you *
* Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend *
* You have been the one *
* You have been the one for me *
* Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend *
- Whoo!
- * You have been the one *
* You have been the one for me *
- Yeah! - Wow.
I love this.
- * I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow *
* I'm so, I'm so *
* I'm so hollow *
[cheers and applause]
[moody vocal music]
* *
- I've never seen a violinist go, "Unh!"
- Gabriella, that was beautiful.
What a--what a treat.
The violin was, like, the perfect addition
to your beautiful voice.
- Merci. - Howie, what do you think?
- I was not expecting the sound that your voice is.
You're angelic. [cheers and applause]
- Heidi?
- Well, first, when you started with the violin, I was like,
"Oh, no, this is going to be like a wedding reception
kind of thing," but then you started singing, it was like...
I thought it was beautiful.
Thank you for that. - Merci,thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- Simon?
- I think, um, it was definitely better
on the second part of the song, a hundred percent.
And actually, everything got better halfway through,
if you want my honest opinion.
- Okay, we're gonna vote. Simon.
- It was very kind of clever and interesting,
and it was a good act.
I'm gonna give you a yes.
[wild cheering]
- I'm gonna give you your second yes.
- A yes for me.
- Four yeses.
[wild cheering]
- Good job.
- * I, I did it all *
* I owned every second that this world could give *
- Very good. - See where I come from?
- Now it all makes sense, yeah.
- Very good talent in the... Quebec...
- Yeah, now I make all the sense of the world, right?
- Yeah. - Yeah, these are my people.
- Just keep going, just keep going.
Keep going. You have no, no, no, no, no, no
until you have four yes.
- Yes, until you have four yeses.
- All right, here we go, gang, here we go.
- How are you feeling?
- I'm so excited.
- Okay. - Yeah, let's do it.
- Five seconds.
- Howie, do you think you're good looking?
- Do I think I'm good looking?
I tell you, let's ask him.
- He's good looking.
- Yeah.
Simon, I'm gorgeous.
Hi. Welcome to "America's Got Talent."
- Thank you. - What is your name?
- Hi, my name is Medhat Mamdouh.
- Where are you from? - I'm from Egypt.
- Oh, wow. - Yeah.
- Welcome.
- And what are you gonna do for us tonight?
- Actually, yeah, I'm playing the recorder.
- The what?
- The recorder. - The recorder?
- Can I ask a question? - Yeah.
- Who is the recorder player in the world or in history
who you look up to?
- Uh... [laughing]
- No, no, no, you play, you play the long thing.
- It's the flute too.
- I don't think we should ask any more questions
other than "good luck."
- Thank you so much. Thank you.
[tapping, feedback]
Thank you.
[upbeat recorder music]
* *
[playing faster]
[cheers and applause]
- Middle Eastern music.
[beatboxing with recorder] - Whoo!
- I like that.
- Yeah!
- Whoo!
You play that!

[cheers and applause]
He blew the room up!
["Rise" by Jonas Blue]
- * We gonna ri-ri-ri-ri-rise until we fall *
* They say we got no... *
- Wow, that was a surprise. - Can I ask a question?
- Go ahead.
- Is that, like, a traditional song from...
- Uh, no, actually, it's my original.
- I'm obsessed with Middle Eastern music,
so I loved it, I enjoyed it.
- Heidi?
- When you started, I was like, "Oh, gosh,
I hope something else is gonna happen."
Then you started all this other stuff and it was like,
"What is happening? This is so cool."
- Thank you so much, thank you.
- I've got to be honest with you.
I mean, I was dreading this
because--it's not personal, I just hate recorders.
- I know. - Why do you hate it?
- Well, because I used to have to, you know,
play them at school.
- Really? - Oh, did you?
- Name me one person who's played the recorder,
in history, and there isn't anyone.
So, uh, where do you think you could take this to?
- Actually, I wish to have
my own show in Las Vegas and build my own theater.
- Okay, well, that's a big ambition.
- Yeah. - Well, look, you know what?
It was good. It was unexpected.
- You know, I don't hate the recorder,
but it's something that we were forced to play in school,
so if you're just seeing one, you go, "Uh..."
Like, it gives you l...
But then you add the beatbox,
so you took something that is so disliked--
- Boring.
- ...and made it--well, boring, but made it trendy.
And that's surprising.
- Let's vote.
- Yes. - Thank you.
- Simon.
- I'm actually gonna say yes. - Oh, okay.
- Thank you so much.
- Yes. - Three yeses.
- In Colombia, they don't force us to do anything,
so I'm not traumatized by the instrument,
so I'm going to say yes.
- Thank you so much, thank you.
- Very good, yay.
I mean, it's incredible.
I can't believe so many people are coming all this way.
- It was worth it. - I agree.
[cheers and applause]
* *
- Hello, everyone.
- Who do we have here?
- My name is Sergio Paolo.
I am 24 years old, and I am from Chile,
but my family is from Colombia.
- From where in Colombia? - Sincelejo.
What are you going to do tonight for us?
- Today's my juggler act in a different style.
It's a bounce juggler.
- Have you been doing it for a long time?
- Uh, six year ago.
- And you perform in Chile? Is this, like, your profession?
- Yes.
- Well, we're very happy that you're here,
and we can't wait to see what you can do.
- Thank you. - Good luck.

- I did not see that coming.
- * I need to know now, know now *
* Can you love me again *
[cheers and applause]
* Can you love me again *
* It's unforgivable *
* I stole and burnt your soul *

Bravo, Sincelejo!
- That's how you do it!
- That was spectacular.
This was crazy. You are a showman in your face,
your body. - Thank you so much, thank you.
- I am so proud that you have Colombian blood in you.
- Thank you so much. - What did you think, Howie?
- I loved it, I loved, like, the under the table
and going up the stairs and all that.
I loved that.
- Simon.
- Uh, the presentation was amazing.
It was way better
than this kind of act we've seen previously,
because juggling can be very boring.
It was great. - Thank you so much.
- Heidi. - You were super fast.
It was like lightning speed.
It didn't look real half of the time.
They were like... [trilling]
I loved it too.
- We're gonna start voting.
I am going to give you your first yes
because that was incredible.
- Thank you so much.
- Simon.
- Two yeses.
- Heidi. - Three yeses.
- Howie.
- Four yeses.
[cheers and applause] - Bravo!
- Thank you so much, thank you.
- He's cute.

Ah, thank you, thank you, thank you.

- Twenty-five years. - Oh, congratulations.
- * My feet go boom boom boom *
* Boom boom boom, boom boom boom *
* My heart beats boom boom boom... *
- This is all new experiences we get to go through together.
- Thanks for coming with me.
- I wouldn't miss it for the world.
- Hey, where you at?
What do you mean you can't make it?
- Hello! Who do we have here?
- I'm Erik. - And I'm Shelly.
- And you are a couple?
- We're actually married.
- Oh, wow. - Oh...
- My dance partner did not arrive.
Can I ask you to dance with me tonight?
- Me?
- * Walking away from you *
["Boom" by X Ambassadors]
* I've got the same old shoes with a new attitude *
* Why would I sing the blues... for you *
- Isn't this what we always see?
- I mean, yes, give us something.
There must be a flip, something.
[buzzers] - * ...is one, two, three *
* My feet go boom boom boom *
* Boom boom boom... *
- Hey, I'm looking for a dance partner.
[dial tone ringing]
- * Walking away from you *
- You guys are very nice dancers,
but in the past, we've seen people, like,
do flips, spins, through the knees.
I saw you do one hop over her. That was it.
- There was no denying that you have skill.
But there was no "wow" factor.
- It didn't feel fresh. It didn't feel exciting.
- To me, it felt like you were in a rehearsal
rather than a Vegas act.
- Okay, Pasha, you're wanted on stage in five.
- In five?
- Very talented, but it's a no.
- * Boom boom boom, boom boom boom *
- They have each other, so there you go.
- So we shouldn't feel bad? - * ...boom boom boom *
[cheers and applause]
* High speed go zoom zoom zoom *

- Hi, welcome to "America's Got Talent."
- Hi. - What's your name?
- My name is Pasha.
- Where you from, Pasha?
- I'm originally from Moscow, Russia.
- Welcome to America. - Thank you.
- And what do you do for a living?
- I'm an entertainer,
but I also would like to invest in real estate, just in case.
[laughing]
- Which one will you be doing tonight?
- [laughing]
- Performing, hopefully.
- Oh, entertaining. Okay. - Yes.
- I'm a adagio dance team,
My wife and I would perform together.
Unfortunately, she couldn't be tonight.
She missed her flight.
- Huh? - Oh, no.
- So I'm in a really... jam,
and I'm trying to figure out what to do.
- So this is an act, like a-- - A duo.
- And she missed her flight.
- Yes, she was supposed to get a new number.
- Why didn't she get on the same flight?
- Yeah.
- She was visiting her mother in San Francisco,
and I was flying from Branson, Missouri.
- Oh, my God. - Oh, no.
- This is the ultimate "the show must go on."
- I know. - The show must go on.
- Have you ever done this by yourself?
- Um, no.
- Are you worried? - I'm very worried.
But hopefully it would work.
- Thank God for real estate.
And you think you got a shot at a million dollars?
- If you could give me an opportunity,
hopefully, I can make it work.
- Okay, good luck tonight.
- Thank you so much. - Yes.
[cheers and applause]
- How's he going to compete without his wife?
- I can't answer that.
- We will see.
- Wait.
[ballroom dance music playing]
- That looks so scary. - That's a human.
- That's him?

- Wow! [cheers and applause]
- That was crazy!
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah, that was weird. - Turn around.
- * I wanna dance with somebody *
- Ah...
- * I wanna feel the heat with somebody *
- Oh, my gosh, that was amazing!
- Thank you.
- How did she make her flight? - I know.
- It was weird. - I know.
- I loved it. That was so surprising.
I've never seen anything like this.
- It was very entertaining. - Thank you so much.
- Simon, what did you think?
- Uh, you got us, didn't you?
Yeah, we were all thinking it was gonna be terrible,
and actually, it was great.
It was a great surprise, I loved that.
- Thank you so much.
- If they just tuned in,
you're gonna freak a lot of little children out.
[laughter]
I'll start you off with a yes.
- Thank you.
Heidi? - It's a yes for me.
- Sofía? - Yes.
- Simon? - We love to be surprised,
and that's what you just did.
That's why you got four yeses.
- * I wanna dance with somebody *
- I love every time he bows.
- I love you, thank you.
- And the tail, also, to his doll.
See that little tail? Do you see the little tail?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - See?
That was good.
- Now, hopefully, when you come back
and you can bring your wife in your act now.
- Yes, yes, that's exactly the plan.
- That was a surprise.
- I feel like we needed glasses.
Oh, wait, I got mine.
- Oh, you didn't even use them. - I should've used them.
That was the problem.
- * ...with somebody to love * - Whoo!
Did it!
- * Dance *
- So far, there have been lots
of heart-pounding performances.
Oh!
- It was just a magical audition.
- And there are still more thrilling acts to come.
- * Yeah, yeah * - * Yeah, yeah, yeah *
- Can't post that on social media, man.
- I want to be you when I grow up.
- Oh!
- Just what we needed this year.
I love it!
- Coming out of our commercial in five seconds.
Big applause. [cheers and applause]

- Aw...
- What's your names, please?
[bell dings]
- What does that-- what does that mean?
- Are you bears, or are you little dogs?
- Really? - [laughing]
- They're adorable.
- They are cute, actually.
Right, I'm not going to ask any more questions,
since you can't talk, so good luck.

- One bear is too slow, one bear is too fast,
but one of the bears was just right.
- Aw...
- "Growl, growl," I'm talking like a bear.
I think people will love you.
So it's a yes for me.
Go back to the woods and celebrate.

- How are you?
- I'm good, about you?
- What is your name?
- My name is Dylan Zangwill.
- Dylan, where are you from?
- I'm from Exeter, Pennsylvania.
- And what are you going to do here tonight at "AGT"?
- I'm gonna be singing and playing piano.
- And how long have you been doing this?
- I've been doing this all my life.
- How old are you? - I'm 14.
- Oh.
- I mean, you're 14 years old. - Yeah.
- And how's it been at school, you know, with everyone,
or do you keep it a secret that you sing
or do they support you?
- I mean, people know I'm a singer and a musician,
but I'm never really, you know, openly talking about it, so...
- Because?
- Uh, you know, I like hearing what other people are doing,
I'm not a big fan of talking about myself all that much.
- [laughing]
- Okay, we're so happy that you're here.
Go ahead.
[cheers and applause]
- It's time.
All right, pop?

* Lord... *
[wild cheering]
* Somebody, oh, somebody *
* Can anybody find me *
* Somebody to love... *
[cheers and applause]
* I work hard every day *
* I try and I try and I try *
* But everybody wants to put me down *
* They say I'm going crazy *
* They say I got a lot of water in my brain *
* I got no common sense *
* I got nobody left to believe in *
* Yeah yeah *
[wild cheering] - What a guy.
- * Can anybody find me *
* Oh *
* Somebody to... *
* Love... *
* Yeah, yeah, oh *
[wild cheering]
[piano playing]
- Yeah, Dylan! - That was great!
- That was awesome!
- That was spectacular.
- Thank you so much. - What a surprise.
You feel like a sweet boy and then you sit down there
and become like this... [gasps]
- "Rah!" - Like...
Powerful voice.
That was amazing. I really loved it.
I want to know what Howie thinks.
- For me, I got connected to the joy.
You just--the happiest place you could be is right there,
performing for us.
- Thank you so much. - Heidi, what did you think?
- I loved it too.
And it was amazing, and the same, like with you,
you could see how comfortable
and how much you enjoy playing and singing.
- Do you write your own songs, too?
- Yes, I do.
- That's fun. - That was great.
- Simon, what did you think?
- Yeah, it was just a great audition, Dylan.
I think you're really, really good.
I think you are definitely, definitely someone
we should watch, and I think, actually,
there's a lot more to come from you.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
- Okay, we're gonna start voting.
I'm gonna give you your first yes.
Heidi. - Yes.
- Howie.
- Yes. - Simon.
- Four yeses. - You're in!
- Thank you so much.
- Well done.
[cheers and applause]
- I do think he is one of those people who,
the less rehearsed he is, the better
- TheSimon Cowell. He has made many, many stars,
and he loved you.
What does that mean to you?
- I just can't believe it. - [laughing]
- * Somebody to... *
- Can you believe it? Four yeses.
- You killed it, buddy. - * ...love *
- Show your love for Miss Sofía Vergara!
[cheers and applause]
You have a year of "AGT" under your belt.
How comfortable is that chair for you now?
- I have to say that I felt part of the family
since the first day I sat down at this desk,
and I feel like even more now.
- * She's on fire, she's so hot *
- Yeah!
- Sofía, let's go.
- * Drop, drop, drop it like it's hot *
- I'm so happy that I came to "AGT."
- She's very sweet and pretty. - Bravo!
- I love her accent.
- There we go. There, keep it going.
Keep it going. [buzzer]
- No! No.
Give me a chance. You're horrible.
- It wasn't great.
- Don't take Simon's "no" personal.
- Very good advice.
- I'm, like, super excited to meet Sofía.
- We are very excited to see Sofía.
She's the pride to Colombian people.
For years, in Colombia, we work very hard,
but we are brothers,
and together, we know we can do anything.
Our act is very dangerous,
and we're always pushing the limits.
Everything must be perfect, or someone could be hurt.
We want to perform in America, and this is our chance.
This is our dream.
We come to win.
- All right, go right ahead.
- * Ooh, give me the time of my life *
* Hey hey hey * - Let's get it now.

and we are from Colombia!
Si, señora.
- From where in Colombia?
- I am so proud and happy that you guys are here tonight.
- Gracias, gracias.
- Ay, gracias.
- How do you say, for me,
it's like looking in the mirror.
- Yeah, you got-- - [laughing]
- ...a lot, a lot more good looking than you,
I'm sorry to tell you.
- All right, all right.
- Good luck.
- Gracias, muchas gracias.

- I'm in, not because you guys are Colombian,
but that was my favorite act. - Thank you, thank you.
- Thank you for coming. This was so amazing,
But I want to see what my other judges are gonna say,
but if they don't say what I want them to say,
there's going to be trouble tonight, so Howie...
- There's gonna be no trouble from me, I'll tell you.
The act was amazing.
- Thank you very much for your words, thank you, really.
Really, we appreciate that. Thank you, thank you.
- Heidi.
- First of all, you in the middle, when you had everyone
kind of holding everything on your head, I mean,
it was incredible. Like, I saw all your veins
pop out of your head, on the side, you on top.
- You saw the veins? - Yeah.
- You saw the veins. - Because they went--
I mean, it was crazy.
- What did you think?
- You're brothers? - Yeah.
- Yeah, I think that, in a way, makes everything more special.
You've got this very kind of cool strength about you.
What you did was very dangerous.
This is exactly the kind of act "America's Got Talent"
is all about.
- Thank you.
- It's an honor to have you here.
Can I be the first to give you a yes, please?
- Thank you very much, thank you.
- Heidi. - Definite yes.
- Thank you. - Howie.
- Sí!
- You're in!
- * 'Cause I, I, I'm in the stars tonight *

- "AGT" fam, there is a ton at stake.
This season's winner will win a starring role in a show
at Luxor Las Vegas, and $1 million.
- Bravo!
[cash register dings] - * I want candy *
- One, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero.
- A million dollars?
I don't know what I would do with that much money.
- I would probably spend it on what I spend my money on,
which is "Fortnite" skins.
Why do they have to be so cute?
- I would go to Six Flags with all my friends,
and we would get the flash passes.
[laughing] - Yes.
- Hold the piñata. - I'll help you raise it.
Let's raise it.
- Is that for Simon?
- I think he's-- you wanna hit it?
- Bit more, bit more, bit more, bit more.
- Stop. I've gotta hit it.
- * I want candy *
- American dollars. - I'm leaving them.
- They're Simon dollars.
- Golden chains and Jet Skis.
That's what I'm getting.
- If you liked Lady Gaga at the Super Bowl,
just wait till I got a million dollars.
[cheering] - * I want candy *
- What would you do if you win
this million dollars, Mike?
- I'll buy those shoes, Terry. - Oh, these?
- Yeah, those are nice.
You can see your face in them, Terry.
You could shave in those shoes.
My name is Mike Goodwin,
I'm 45 years old, and I'm a stand-up comedian.
- How did you get to stand-up comedy, bro?
- I think I just was the kid
that was trying to alleviate tension in the house.
Like, my parents would get into these arguments,
and I always wanted to make my mother laugh.
- Dude, we are simpatico in that, man.
That was why I loved doing comedy.
- Right, right. - Hearing her laugh
was the best thing you could do for the whole house.
- Clearly, clearly.
So, as a kid, I knew that I loved comedy, I loved it.
But I never saw myself as a stand-up.
I joined the Army after high school,
and I did four years active duty,
and then after that, I went to college and met my wife.
Twenty-one years later, we have two children.
I've worked in various jobs to pay bills,
but they just were not the dream.
And then recently my wife said,
"Well, why don't you just do comedy full-time?"
And... I was like, okay.
- We're so proud of you.
- Tonight is a chance for me to make my dreams happen
and make my family proud.
High fives? - Whoo-hoo!
- Yeah! - Good luck!
- All right. [cheers and applause]
- Hello.
And what's your name? - My name is Mike Goodwin.
- Hello, Mike, how you doing?
- I'm doing outstanding. I'm excited to be here.
- Yeah?
How old are you, Mike?
- I'm 45 years old.
- Okay, and Mike, where are you from?
- I'm from Columbia, South Carolina.
- Okay. Tell us about you, Mike.
- So, I'm a former vet, Army vet.
[applause] Thank you.
- Thank you for your service. - Thank you.
- Bravo.
- And also worked as a college counselor in a private school,
but now, I'm trying to do stand-up comedy.
- Oh, really? [applause]
And who's been your inspiration, Mike?
- Well, my family. - Your family.
- I'm a father, and I'll be married for 21 years in August.
- Oh, wow. [applause]
And how does your family feel
about you being on the show, Mike?
- They're excited. - Yeah?
Okay, Mike, two minutes can change your life on this show.
Good luck.
- A shout-out to all the teachers out there,
a round of applause for the teachers.
[cheers and applause]
I have a newfound respect for teachers
because my children are in virtual school now.
And when it first started,
I was the teacher, and it went good.
It didn't take me long for my wife to relieve me
of my classroom duties.
Now I'm over security and snacks.
The issue is, my wife didn't like
my educational philosophy.
I was teaching my children things that I learned
when I was a child.
Do y'all remember those bizarre stories they taught us called
"nursery rhymes"?
There was an old lady that lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn't know what to do.
So she fed them broth without any bread.
And whooped them all soundly and put them into bed.
[scattered laughing]
Yeah, that lady going to jail. You can't post that--
you can't post that on social media, man.
What about this one? Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater.
Had a wife, he couldn't keep her.
He put her in a pumpkin shell.
And there he kept her, very well.
Yet Peter has a Netflix documentary coming out called
"The Making of a Murderer Pumpkin Pie Style," you know?
[laughing and cheering]
But the straw that broke the camel's back
was when my wife heard my son
singing this dumb, little song
that I taught him in music class.
Ten little monkeys jumping on the bed.
One fell off, bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed."
Then it was nine little monkeys.
Then eight little monkeys.
Then seven little monkeys.
I'm like, when is this doctor gonna call
child protective services on this woman?
This woman is clearly overwhelmed by these children.
She need to call the old lady in the shoe.
Yeah.
I bet y'all after some broth and a whoopin'
they won't jump on that bed no more.
Hey, I'm Mike Goodwin. Thank y'all so much.
[cheers and applause]
- Yes! Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- Okay, Mike, we'll go to Howie.
- You're very good. You're very likeable,
very relatable, as a parent,
and I want to thank you for your laughter,
which we need now more than we've ever needed it before.
- Heidi. - I loved it.
Like, I was laughing the entire time.
It was very clever,
so I did like that a lot, so well done.
- Thank you.
- It was very creative, and we were all laughing.
We all were enjoying what you were doing.
It was very light and fun, how it should be.
[cheers and applause]
- You know what, Mike? It was interesting,
because I think you started off a little slow.
As the act progressed, you got better and better
and more confident.
So, yeah, I think this is a good audition.
I think people are gonna be rooting for you, Mike.
- Thank you. - Yeah, good for you.
- Okay, we're gonna vote. Howie.
- Yes. - Heidi.
- Mike Goodwin, I give you a yes.
- Sofía. - Yes for Mike!
- You've got four yeses. Congratulations.
[cheers and applause]
- Dude, you got me, man. I was cracking up!
- He was a nice guy. - Yeah.
- And it was funny enough?
- It was funny.
- [laughing] Hey, babe, I did great!
I can't believe it!
- I'm so proud of you. - I love y'all so much.
- Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
- It was spectacular.
- [shouting]
- Howie, what's the oldest person
you've ever been with?
Would you like to break your personal best?
- We've said yes to over 150 acts.
We now have to get it down to 36.
- No! [overlapping arguing]
- Yes, yes, yes. - No, no, no, no, no.

Being on "America's Got Talent,"
it's a dream that has been in my soul forever.
I can't even believe that I'm actually breathing
the same air as you are. - Listen, I'm here for you.
- As a child, I would think about being a star someday.
Once you truly believe in yourself,
that's when it happens.
- * Working 9 to 5 *
* Ooh, working 9 to 5... *

just give me a call, eh?

- Everybody wants to be on "America's Got Talent,"
and I--I can't believe that I am one of those people.
It's the biggest stage on the planet.

I've been waiting to see you guys.
Okay, let's do it. - You made it!

That was like, "Bam!" it came out.
I loved it.
- Thank you so much. - I loved it.
I loved how you just let loose.
I love how free you are on the stage.
Howie?
- This is my favorite era of music, personally.
- Yes.
- And I love your performance,
and I think your performance
supersedes even the song and I could watch you
at an Anica concert.
I just think you're just fun to watch.
- Yes. - Thank you very much.
- What did you think, Sofía?
- You look like you're loving what you're doing.
I did love your energy, I love--
I love you performing that song, like Howie said,
but it wasn't, like, spectacular.
[audience booing]
- I kind of agree with Sofía. I gotta be honest with you.
I just--after about 30 seconds, it was like, that's it,
I can't hear anymore, I've had it.
- Oh... [audience booing]
- Okay.
But I love you, Simon, and my wife loves you too.
