- It's just like on TV, right?

It's a little too high.

My name is Sophie
and I'm five.

My birthday is going to be
in one year, and I'll turn six,

and today, I'm going to sing.

[classical music]

Ever since Sophie was one,
she would sing nursery rhymes

and things like that
with lyrics.

Whoa, it's a twinkle
twinkle little star.

Sophie likes to do
so many things.

She loves baking.

Ooh, ooh. I can bake.

I can make sweets or treats,

but I don't know
how to make food or breakfast.

Whoa. Whoa.

- Are you okay?
- Yep.

She likes clothing.

I love playing with
my sister like fashion.

These are my favorite shoes.

And she loves princesses.

If I'm Sophie the princess,

then my mommy is a magic fairy.

Boo!

Hi, Princess Tyra.

I'm a princess?
You're the princess.

Hi. Give me a hug.
Oh, my goodness.

Sophie, what would you spend
the money on if you win?

I don't care about money.

I just want to sing for
everyone to make them happy.

Kinda went viral.

And how'd you hear
about the auditions today?

We saw it on the interwebs.

- Share, share, like...

I did these music videos
and stuff in my bedroom.

It ended up
with 25 million hits.

It was amazing.

[cheers and applause]

- Hello.
- Hello.

Hello.

Tell us what
your name is, please.

- I am Noah Guthrie.
- Hey, Noah.

And where are you from?

- Greer, South Carolina.
- Noah, how old are you?

- 24.
- Okay.

Tell me a bit about you.

Well, I got my start
doing YouTube videos.

Yeah?

Got a little bit of
a fan base from that,

had a couple viral videos,
and things led to another,

and I actually ended up
on a show

called "Glee,"
which was crazy.

- No way.
- Really?

[cheers and applause]

- I knew I recognized you.
- Yes.

Being on "Glee" was

one of the most exciting
times of my life.

My character, Roderick, was
the shy, chubby misfit kid,

and that's who I was
in high school, so I got it.

I got the character.

Growing up, I was trying
to figure out where I fit in.

The way I did
that was with music,

and then I was the kid
that could sing

and not the big kid that didn't
have any friends or anything.

It wasn't easy for me

to stand up in front
of people and try to sing.

I've secretly wanted

to cover this song
for a really long time...

And so I started doing these
cover songs on the Internet

really as just a way
to express myself,

and then, honestly,

out of the blue
came a phone call

from the casting department
at "Glee."

I'd never been on TV or, you
know, done anything like that.

Suddenly, I was living in
Hollywood going on TV shows

and doing interviews.

I mean, it changed
my life for sure.

But then once "Glee" stops,

so does everything that
was associated with "Glee,"

so I have to then
kind of find where I fit.

I'm a musician first.

I have to figure out
a way to do that again.

Now that it's over,
you know,

I'm just trying to get
back to my music and with me.

Singing and playing music,

it's my favorite thing
in the world,

and "America's Got Talent"

is a really great way
for me to do that.

I'm gonna go into this,
be myself,

and hopefully
that'll be enough.

Well, I admire you, Noah,
for actually coming back,

because, you know,
I think everyone deserves

a second, third chance,
whatever.

- Thank you.
- We're rooting for you, Noah.

- Thank you very much.
- Good luck.

So he joined the group

I'm doing the math.
I mean, yeah.

Originally,
it was my brother and I.

This is Alan.
Yeah.

And it went from a little
dance group to a big family.

[cheers and applause]

Growing up with my brother,
it was just me, him,

and we lived with our mom.

Everything that we did,
we did it together.

It was tough, 'cause we lived
in a not-so-good neighborhood.

Lot of gang violence.

It was scary,
but he got me through it,

and I got him through it.
We had each other.

Mom tried everything just
to keep us from going outside.

We would just turn
on some music

and just start dancing to it.

Dance was the one thing that
we loved more than anything,

so we started
the Future Kingz dance crew.

We wanted to do it as a career
for the rest of our lives.

But then one day
my brother told my mom

that he was going
to be a father.

That's when I realized this was
gonna be the end of that dream.

I really wanted
to be there for my son

and my family
more than anything,

but that meant I had
to quit the Future Kingz.

It hurt me really bad,
and for the rest of the group,

it just wasn't easy.

Being in the Future Kingz
means, like, the world to me.

Like, it's all I have, really,
so I miss Alan so much.

It's been four years since
we actually stepped on a stage

and performed together,
but when we decided

to audition for
"America's Got Talent,"

I knew I could not
come without my brother.

Good evening.
What's your name?

My name is Samuel J. Comroe.

I'm a stand-up comedian.

- Oh, wow.
- Yeah.

How long have you
been doing that?

I've been doing comedy
for ten years now.

- Do you do it full-time?
- Yeah, I do it full-time.

Okay. Are you nervous?

No, I have Tourette's
syndrome, so I twitch a lot.

I blink real fast,
my head flops around.

If you see that,
it's kind of cute.

- [laughs]
- It is.

Thank you.
[cheers and applause]

I'm Samuel J. Comroe.

I'm a stand-up comedian,
30 years old,

and from Los Angeles,
California.

I was born with Tourette's
syndrome, so I twitch a lot.

My face twitches a lot.

It's a neurological disorder,
and there's no cure.

I was diagnosed
when I was six years old.

It just happened out
of nowhere, and it was rough.

I had no idea what was
happening with my body,

it was physically painful,

I got a lot of migraines,
felt like almost a person was,

like, pulling my face
in different directions.

At school, I got bullied,
nicknames, teased,

being the one
left out of things.

There was really no safe zone.

The most upsetting part
was just feeling like

I was this outsider

for something
that I couldn't control.

When I first saw
stand-up comedy on TV,

a light bulb flashed on,
and I was like,

"I could do this."

It was so cool that somebody

could just
talk about their lives

and also relate to a group
of strangers by doing that,

which is something I've been
trying to do my entire life.

First time I hit the stage,
I was so scared.

That first laugh
changed my life.

How are you feeling?

You're about to go out in front
of the audience and the judges.

I'm just anxious and excited,
and I thought I'd be nervous,

but I just want to get
out there and do it.

I've worked
really hard for this.

I just had
a beautiful daughter.

It's a 50% chance she might
end up with Tourette's.

We're wishing you
lots of love.

We love you so much.

Coming on "America's
Got Talent"

is an opportunity
to show her

that I took my
Tourette's syndrome

and I turned it
into a positive.

- Bye. We love you.
- Bye.

Going out on stage tonight
is going to be

an unforgettable moment.

I want to be the first comedian
to win this thing.

I want to prove to my daughter
she can do anything.

And what does
this mean to you,

coming to "AGT" now?

This means everything.

I've worked my entire life
for a moment like this.

They don't come very often.
I'm really grateful.

I just had a baby girl,

and this is
a beautiful opportunity.

Wow. And your family is
all supportive of this career?

Yeah, since I started,

they've been 100% behind me,
so I'm very thankful.

- All right.
- Nice.

Well, you know what?

It's scary enough doing
whatever you do to hit that X,

and I just want the best
for you, I really do.

Thank you.
Thanks so much.

Go ahead.

Thank you.

So like I said,
I have Tourette's syndrome.

It's why my head flops around
and I blink real fast.

It's weird.

It always looks like I'm trying
to tell you a secret.

This twitch
gets me in trouble.

My roommate
came home from work.

I was like,
"Dude, our neighbor died."

He said, "Did you kill him?"

And I was like, "Nah."

Yo, this is a true story.

When I was ten years old,

my parents sent me
to Tourette's camp.

Yeah, that's where
the joke should end.

It's a real place, and I didn't
realize it till this moment,

but I found out

that when other people twitch,
it makes me twitch more.

So on the first day,

they put us in a circle
with a hundred kids.

Oh, no!

The kid next to me
did a shoulder roll,

and my Tourette's saw that

and took that as a challenge,

and I threw him a head flop.

The girl next to him
did a full body twitch,

and everybody saw that,
and all hell broke loose.

[cheers and applause]
That is funny.

Kids were rolling
on the ground.

I was in the corner like,
"Why'd they send us here?"

Our parents were on top
of the hill like,

"Oh, they're breakdancing.

Look at them go."

I'm Samuel J. Comroe.
Thank you.

[cheers and applause]

I'm 13.

I'm just scared

I'm just, like, a normal girl,
and then I'm here.

In school, I'm kind of quiet

and sticking to my own path.

She's really shy.

She can't really seem to
communicate with other children

as well as she can
with her siblings.

I think she comes
alive in herself

when she's doing what
she loves, when she's singing.

At school,
I joined the choir

because I feel like
when I sing,

I can express myself
