THE AUDIENCE IS INSANE TODAY. THE ACTS ARE JUST ONE
PERFORMANCE AWAY FROM MAKING THE FINALS
HERE WAS THE LEAD OFF. CAN YOU REPEAT PLEASE
HI GUYS. IT'S OKAY
IT'S FINE * CAN'T LIVE *
WHAT HAPPENED AT THE BEGINNING WAS AMAZING.
IT SHOWED THE COMMAND YOU HAVE ON THE STAGE
YOU DIDN'T MISS A BEAT * CAN'T LIVE ANYMORE *

WHAT AN ENTRANCE. NO SAFETY NET
THAT WAS A WOW MOMENT YOU STEPPED UP IN THIS
COMPETITION. IN MY OPINION THIS WAS A GOLD
MEDAL PERFORMANCE. SO EXCITED.
I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU. TORY VAGASY
I THINK IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOLLOWING AIDAN.
YOU DID SOMETHING GOOD, BUT I THINK IT WAS TOO SAFE FOR THE
SEMI-FINALS. YOU'RE BEING GRUMPY.
I'M NOT BEING GRUMPY. THIS WAS ANOTHER FLAWLESS
PERFORMANCE FROM YOU I LOVE YOU, HOWIE
[ BUZZER ] SORRY
JUST PRACTICING. WE GOT 36 SECONDS.

A LITTLE LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES
MY DRESS KEEPS POPPING. EVERY TIME I LAUGH IT POPS.
KNOCK KNOCK. WHO'S THERE
YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE ME? I'VE BEEN HERE 12 SEASONS.
DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE. DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH
YOU'RE VERY GOOD. YOU'RE IN THE SAME LANE AS TORY.
I DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS ANYTHING
AM I ALLOWED TO SAY ASS ON AMERICAN TV?
HOWIE YOU'RE TALKING OUT OF IT DO NOT LISTEN TO HOWIE MANDEL.
GOOD NORFOR YOU. THAT WAS YOUR MOMENT
SOME OF THE SONG FOR ME REALLY SOUNDED OUT OF TUNE
TO MY UNTRAINED EARS IT SOUNDED AMAZING.
I LIKED THE LAST SONG CHOICE BETTER.
YOU'RE COLOR BLIND. WHAT DO YOU KNOW
[ TALKING OVER ONE ANOTHER ] SPANX ARE AMAZING
YOU PUT THEM ON AND YOU FEEL INVINCIBLE
THEN THE END OF THE NIGHT COMES AND IT'S LIKE -- ALL YOU HAVE TO
SHOW IS A ROAD MAP OF PAIN EMBEDDED INTO YOUR SKIN.
YOU'RE LIKE A FIRECRACKER YOU MAKE US LAUGH.
YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR, YOUNG LADY.
I WAS CRITICAL OF YOU LAST TIME
I'LL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT I WAS TALKING OUT OF MY ASS.
I'M DEFINITELY NOT READY TO GO HOME.
I WANT TO BE IN THE FINALS. THIS IS OUR LAST ACT OF THE
NIGHT. * HAVE YOU EVER FELT THIS WAY *
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE YOU'RE INCREDIBLE.

THE FIVE THAT MAKE IT THROUGH? Simon: I WAS ASKING SOFIA IF
IT WAS COLD. IT'S FREEZING IN HERE.
Sofia: IT'S FINE. Simon: I'M FREEZING
MY ADVICE IS HONESTLY YOU'VE GOT TO -- DON'T BE AFRAID TO BE
COMPETITIVE. WINNERS ARE COMPETITIVE.
YOU'VE GOT TO BRING YOUR "A" GAME AND DO THINGS WE'VE NEVER
SEEN BEFORE ON THIS STAGE. YOU'VE ALL GOT -- MOST OF YOU
HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT. I THINK LAST NIGHT THERE WAS A
VERY, VERY CLEAR WINNER. I DON'T KNOW THE RESULTS

NEVER SEEN BEFORE ON THIS STAGE. IF I'M RIGHT, THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE
GOT TO DO GOING FORWARD. Terry: OKAY

FOR THOSE THREE ACTS YOU STILL HAVE ABOUT NINE
MINUTES LEFT SO VOTE ONE OF OUR MOST FAVORITE
CHAMPIONS IS LIVING HIS DREAM AS A MAGICIAN WITH A SHOW IN VEGAS.
HE HASN'T JUST CHANGED HIS LIFE. HE INSPIRED THE IMAGINATION OF A
YOUNG BOY WATCHING AT HOME WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH MANIC.
HIS "AGT" AUDITION HAS HAD OVER 60 MILLION VIEWS
WE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM ON HIS TENTH BIRTHDAY AND GAVE HIM A
VERY SPECIAL SURPRISE. FOR MY AUDITION I WAS PRETTY
NERVOUS. I'VE NEVER BEEN ON STAGE
I WAS LIKE PLEASE DON'T MESS THIS UP.
I HAD THE QUEEN OF HEARTS. I HAVE THE QUEEN OF HEARTS.
I'VE GOT THE QUEEN OF SPADES MAGICIANS --
IS THIS YOUR CARD ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
ABOUT HIM IS HIS MAGIC WAS VERY MYSTERIOUS
HIS SLIGHT OF HAND WAS VERY SMOOTH
HE'S AN INSPIRATION FOR MAGICIANS.
HIS ROUTINE IS -- HELLO
WHAT? SURPRISE.
SO SORRY I JUST APPEARED LIKE THAT
I'VE SEEN SOME OF YOUR VIDEOS. YOU ARE AMAZING.
WHAT? ARE YOU REAL
I'M REAL. YOU CAN TOUCH MY HAIR.
IT'S REAL. I'M GOING TO GET CHANGED FOR MY
REHEARSAL. YOU CAN COME JOIN LATER IF YOU
WANT. THANK YOU
SEE YOU LATER BYE.
WHAT? WATCHING HIM PERFORM FOR THE
FIRST TIME WAS JUST -- MIND BLOWING.
HE'S SO GOOD HEY, MAN.
ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING? IS THAT ON A CVS RECEIPT
YES. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO DO
"AGT"? I GREW UP ON IT
IT SEEMED SO COOL ON TV. I WANTED TO DO IT.
WHAT WERE YOUR PARENTS' REACTIONS WHEN YOU WANTED TO
BECOME A PROFESSIONAL MAGICIAN THEY WERE VERY CONCERNED.
THAT'S THE BEST WORD THEY WERE LIKE HOW ARE YOU GOING
TO MAKE MONEY? HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SURVIVE
GO ON "AGT. NOW YOU HAVE YOUR OWN VEGAS
SHOW HOW DO YOU GET IDEAS FOR MAGIC
TRICKS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS
PUTTING YOUR PERSONALITY IN. THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE, IS
YOU. LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
THAT WILL GUIDE YOU. IT WILL GUIDE YOU TO DO THE
RIGHT THING. IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, RIGHT?
YES. THERE'S SOMETHING IN YOUR
HAIR THIS IS UNIVERSAL STUDIOS IN
HOLLYWOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH
I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT. YOU'RE GOING TO BE SO AMAZING
WHEN YOU GROW UP. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WAIT UNTIL YOUR HANDS GET BIGGER
THEN YOU CAN HIDE A WHOLE DECK OF CARDS
LET ME SEE THIS. OH MY GOODNESS
IS THIS A DREAM HEY
All: HAPPY BIRTHDAY * HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU *
NO! YEAH!
BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER. Terry: THAT WAS SO AMAZING.
ONCE AGAIN HAPPY BIRTHDAY. YOU CAN CATCH THE SHOW IN LAS
VEGAS. BACK IN 2017 A YOUNG COMEDIAN
WALKED OUT TO THE AUDITIONS AND AMERICA HASN'T STOPPED LAUGHING
SINCE. HE'S GOING TO BE STARRING IN THE
"AGT" LIVE STAGE SHOW AT LUXOR LAS VEGAS.
TONIGHT HE'S HERE. AMERICA, GIVE IT UP FOR PREACHER
LAWSON * BLINDED BY THE LIGHT *
WHAT'S UP WHAT'S UP?
HOW YOU DOING? WHAT'S UP?
GOOD TO SEE YOU. ALL RIGHT.
MY NAME IS PREACHER. THAT'S MY NAME
IT'S NOT A STAGE NAME. MY MOM CALLED ME PREACHER MY
ENTIRE LIFE. WHEN I WAS 2 WEEKS OLD BECAUSE A
BUNCH OF PEOPLE KEPT TELLING MY MOM, "WHEN HE GETS OLDER, HE'S
GOING TO BE A PREACHER." THAT'S WHAT WAS SEEN IN ME
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS SAYING WHEN I WAS 2 YEARS OLD FOR
PEOPLE TO THINK THAT I DON'T KNOW IF I WAS CHANGING
MY MILK INTO WINE. I DON'T KNOW
WHAT COULD I SAY "GOO-GOO, GA-GA.
CAN I GET A WAAAH? I DON'T KNOW IF I WAS CHANGING
MY MOM'S MILK INTO WINE. I DON'T REMEMBER
BUT I'LL TELL PEOPLE MY NAME IS PREACHER, AND EVERYBODY HEARS
"PREACHER" BUT THINK, "THERE'S NO WAY HE JUST SAID PREACHER."
SO THEY THINK OF DIFFERENT NAMES ON THEIR OWN
"WHAT'S YOUR NAME? "PREACHER.
"RICHARD?" "STARTED WITH A 'P.'
"PRESTON?" "I'M BLACK!"
YOU KNOW MY NAME AIN'T PRESTON THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A BLACK
PRESTON. IF THERE IS ONE, THERE'S ONE AND
HE'S PROBABLY CALLED BLACK PRESTON.
THAT'S LIKE MEETING A WHITE DUDE NAMED JAMAL.
HE'S WHITE JAMAL EVERYBODY KNOW THAT.
"WHERE'S JAMAL AT? "I DON'T KNOW NO JAMAL!"
"WHITE JAMAL!" "OH, YEAH!
HE'S GETTING A LATTE." SOME PEOPLE GET MAD WHEN I SAY
MY NAME. "ARE YOU AN ACTUAL PASTOR?
"NO. "WELL, I'M NOT CALLING YOU THAT!
WHY WOULD I CALL YOU A PASTOR AND YOU'RE NOT AN ACTUAL
PASTOR?" DON'T CALL ME THAT THEN.
YOU KNOW JESUS HE'S NOT ACTUALLY JESUS.
CALM DOWN. DR. DRE -- NOT A DOCTOR.
SURPRISE!" EVERYBODY KNOWS THE ROCK IS A
HUMAN. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE DOING
THIS SOME LADY GOT MAD AT ME BECAUSE
I HAD MY SHIRT OFF ON INSTAGRAM. PUT A SHIRT ON
WHAT KIND OF PREACHER WALKS AROUND WITHOUT A SHIRT ON.
WHAT IF JESUS SEEN YOU WITH YOUR SHIRT OFF?
I'M LIKE, "EVERY TIME I SEE JESUS, HE GOT HIS SHIRT OFF!
EVERYBODY KNOWS JESUS HAS ABS. PREACHER ISN'T EVEN A WEIRD
NAME I MET SOME KID NAMED THEVIN,
WITH A "T-H. I WAS LIKE, "GET OUT OF HERE
YOUR MOM JUST HAS A LISP IT'S EITHER HER OR THE DOCTOR'S
FAULT. CLEARLY SHE GOT BRACES
MY NAME IS PREACHER LAWSON THANK YOU.
LOVE YOU ALL [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
Terry: PREACHER LAWSON!
[ APPLAUSE ] PREACHER WILL BE HOSTING THE
SENSATIONAL "AGT" LIVE STAGE SHOW AT LUXOR, LAS VEGAS
