SIMON, THE AUDIENCE
VOTES ARE EVEN MORE IMPORTANT

THIS SEASON, AREN'T THEY?
THEY ARE, TERRY.

IT'S CHANGED BECAUSE NOW ONLY
TWO ACTS GO THROUGH EACH NIGHT

NINE AREN'T GOING THROUGH TO THE

FINALS.
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THIS A LOT.

YOU'VE GOT TO VOTE FOR THE ACTS
YOU LIKE.

- THANK YOU, SIMON.

YOU'VE GOT TO VOTE.
ARE YOU READY?

FIRST TO PERFORM LIVE

FOR YOUR VOTES, WE'VE HAD
ACROBATS ON THE SHOW BEFORE, BUT

NEVER LIKE THIS.
BUCKLE UP.

ALL THE WAY FROM GUINEA, WEST
AFRICA, CHECK OUT AMOUKANAMA

WE WANT TO GO ON "AMERICA'S
GOT TALENT."

WE DO EVERYTHING TO WIN THIS.
OUR FAMILY WAS SO HAPPY

BECAUSE THEY KNOW HOW MUCH IT
WAS A STRUGGLE TO TRAVEL.

WE'RE FROM WEST AFRICA.
IT'S VERY FAR FROM AMERICA.

GUINEA, WE HAVE REALLY GOOD FOOD
AND REALLY GOOD PEOPLE.

IT WAS DIFFICULT TO LEAVE.
WE'RE A POOR FAMILY.

THERE'S NOT A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY
THERE.

THAT'S WHY WE CREATED AMOUKANAMA
SO WE CAN TRAVEL AROUND THE

WORLD TO SHOW WHAT WE HAVE AND
GIVE OUR FAMILY A BETTER LIFE.

WE HAVE WHERE WE CAN TRAIN.
THIS TIME WE HAVE SOMETHING NEW.

SOME PARTS CAN GO WRONG, BUT WE
WANT TO FIGHT FOR OUR FAMILY AND

WE'RE WILLING TO PUSH OURSELVES
TO THE LIMIT.

TO BE IN VEGAS, THAT'S A BIG
JUMP FOR US.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
MAKE OUR DREAMS COME TRUE.

THAT MEANS EVERYTHING TO US.

STORE.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
GUYS.

AMOUKANAMA!

WOW!
HOWIE?

I GOT TO SAY, WHEN
THEY FIRST PERFORMED IN THE

AUDITION, I WAS NOT HERE BECAUSE
I WAS SICK.

TONIGHT I'M HERE.
I SAW YOU.

YOU GUYS ARE SICK IN THE BEST
WAY POSSIBLE.

NOTHING COMPARES TO IT.
YOU ARE THE BEST ACT SO FAR

- TONIGHT.
- HEIDI?

I LOVE YOU GUYS.
THE FACT YOU DON'T HAVE A

CHOREOGRAPHER HELPING YOU, THAT
MAKES YOU GUYS MORE SPECIAL.

YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEONE ON THE
SIDELINES CHEERING YOU ON

TELLING YOU TO MOVE.
YOU'RE DOING THIS ON YOUR OWN.

YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD.
WELL DONE.

- I LOVE YOU GUYS.
- SOFIA?

THERE'S NOTHING TO SAY
BUT GOOD JOB, GUYS.

I COULDN'T THINK YOU GUYS COULD
GET BETTER BECAUSE I LOVED YOU

SO MUCH.
THIS WAS ANOTHER LEVEL.

- IT WAS.
- SIMON, ARE YOU

ENTERTAINED?

SLIGHTLY.
YOU ALWA YOU'RE GOING TO GET

BETTER.
THAT WASN'T AN 8.

IT WAS A 10.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
GUYS.

THROUGH TO THE SEASON FINALS.

DOG ACTS WE'VE EVER SEEN.

PLEASE WELCOME AMAZING VERANICA
AND HER INCREDIBLE FRIENDS.

I'M 12 YEARS OLD.
MY FAVORITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL IS

SCIENCE, AND I REALLY LOVE ICE
CREAM.

ME AND MY FAMILY LIVE ON A FARM
IN OXFORD, FLORIDA.

WE HAVE ABOUT 150 ANIMALS.
I HAVE CHICKENS, HORSES, CAMELS,

GOATS, CATS, BUT MY FAVORITE ARE
MY DOGS.

THEY'RE MY BEST FRIENDS.
LOVE YOU.

GROUP HUG.
THIS IS MISHKA.

HE'S ENERGETIC AND LOVES JUMPING
FROM HAY BALL TO HAY BALL.

THIS IS ROMA AND THIS IS RITA.
GOOD JOB.

I PLAY AROUND WITH THEM A LOT
OUTSIDE.

MY MOM'S THE ONE WHO MAKES ME GO
INSIDE ALL THE TIME, WHICH I

DON'T LIKE TO DO.
SHE'S LIKE, DO YOUR SCHOOL.

I'M LIKE, CAN I KEEP PLAYING
WITH MY DOGS?

SHE'S LIKE, NO.
EVEN THOUGH I'M A KID, I WANT TO

SHOW AMERICA ME AND MY DOGS CAN
DO ANYTHING.

WE HAVE BEEN PRACTICING A LOT.
SOMETIMES DURING THE SHOW THEY

RUN OFF OR WON'T LISTEN.
IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS SINCE A DOG

ACT HAS WON.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING UP TO DOGS MY

WHOLE LIFE, BUT NOW IT'S MY

AMAZING VERANICA AND

HER INCREDIBLE FRIENDS.
SOFIA?

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN WITH ANIMALS ON

A STAGE.
YOU'RE SO IN CONTROL.

I LOVE IT.
IT WAS AMAZING.

NOW THEY'RE GOING CRAZY, BUT
THEY'RE DOGS.

SIMON, WHAT DO YOU
THINK?

- WHAT'S HAPPENING?
- OH, MY GOSH.

THEY'RE DOING THAT
AFTER YOU SAY SHE'S SHOWING

- CONTROL.
- IT'S LIKE ME TRYING TO

TRAIN MY DOGS WHAT'S HAPPENING
RIGHT NOW.

ACTUALLY, I TELL YOU WHAT, I
DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID THAT

BECAUSE... BECAUSE AS SOFIA
SAID, IT'S A LIVE SHOW AND, YOU

KNOW, NORMALLY AN ACT LIKE THIS
WOULD GET NERVOUS.

IT DID EVERYTHING.
IT WAS MAGIC AS WELL.

THIS WAS BETTER THAN YOUR FIRST
AUDITION MONTHS AGO.

HOWIE?

I FELT THERE WAS A LOT
OF MISTAKES, BUT THE MISTAKES

WERE ADORABLE.
IF YOU'RE A GORGEOUS LITTLE

POODLE IN A SKIRT, DOESN'T
MATTER WHAT YOU DO.

THAT'S WHAT WE LEARNED TODAY.
IT WAS ADORABLE.

WHO COULD SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE?
IT'S KIND OF FUNNY IT'S CHAOTIC,

RIGHT?
RIGHT?

I KNOW I'M RIGHT.
I'M A GOOD JUDGE.

- HEIDI?
- IT IS AN OVERLOAD OF

CUTENESS.
THIS ONE IS UPSET BECAUSE SOFIA

AND I ARE ALSO IN PINK.
SHE'S LIKE I HAD IT.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH
ANIMALS.

I COMMEND YOU FOR TRAINING THEM.
WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE.

- IT'S VERY CUTE.
- VERANICA, NOW THAT THE

DOGS, YOUR FRIENDS ARE FAMOUS,
WHICH ONE IS THE DIVA?

THAT WOULD BE RITA IN THE
PINK DRESS.

- SHE LOVES WEARING DRESSES.
- THAT'S IS DIVA.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, VERANICA AND
FRIENDS.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE THEM BACK IN
THE FINALS, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU

GOTTA DO... VOTE.
YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES

FOR EACH ACT ONLINE AND WITH THE
"AGT" APP.

STILL TO COME, AN ENGINEER
TURNED STAND-UP COMEDIAN AND A

SENSATIONAL SINGER BRINGING A
NEW TWIST TO COUNTRY.

IT'S DON McMILLAN AND DRAKE
MILLIGAN WHEN WE COME BACK.

IT'S A PRESSURE COOKER
TONIGHT FOR THE ACTS.

THERE IS SO MUCH ON THE LINE.
AND, AS THEY STEP UP TO THEIR

FIRST LIVE PERFORMANCE, FOLLOW
THEM ON TWITTER, INSTAGRAM OR

FACEBOOK @AGT.
GO AND GET YOURSELF INVOLVED.

OKAY, NEXT TONIGHT A YOUNG
SINGER WHO SURVIVED A MAJOR

TRAUMA THAT AFFECTED, NOT ONLY
HER HOMETOWN, BUT THE WHOLE

COUNTRY.
SHE'S FIGHTING HER WAY BACK TO

NORMAL LIFE AND THIS COULD BE
ANOTHER BIG STEP FOR HER.

FROM OXFORD, MICHIGAN, HERE'S
AVA SWISS.

♪ ALL THE CALM ♪
EVER SINCE I WAS LITTLE I

WOULD WATCH THIS SHOW.
I NEVER IMAGINED I WOULD ONE DAY

BE STEPPING ON THE "AGT" STAGE.
WHAT HAPPENED IN MY HOMETOWN

CHANGED EVERYTHING.
BACK ON NOVEMBER 30th, MY

BROTHER AND I WERE PART OF THE
OXFORD SCHOOL SHOOTING.

WE LOST FOUR OF OUR STUDENTS AND
SEVEN OTHERS WERE INJURED.

COMING BACK FROM SOMETHING LIKE
THAT IS SOMETHING WE ALL HAD TO

LEARN TOGETHER.
I'M JUST ONE STORY OUT OF THE

1,800 THAT WENT THROUGH IT AT
THE SAME SCHOOL I WAS IN, THE

SAME DAY, THE SAME MOMENT.
THERE ARE SO MANY STORIES.

AFTER ALL THIS HAPPENED, IT'S
HARD FOR ME TO GET COMFORT GOING

BACK OUT IN PUBLIC.
ARE YOU NERVOUS?

YEAH, I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.
I LEARNED THAT YOU JUST HAVE

TO LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST
AND I'M DOING IT.

I THINK YOU ARE GUTSY,
I REALLY DO.

YOU'LL DO AWESOME.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

SO EXCITED FOR YOU.
I LOVE YOU.

LOVE YOU TOO, BUDDY.
BYE.

I DON'T EVER HANG UP THE
PHONE WITHOUT SAYING I LOVE YOU

BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW IF
THERE'S GOING TO BE A TOMORROW.

IT'S THE SAD TRUTH, BUT YOU
DON'T.

I WANT TO USE ALL OF THAT NIGHT
BECAUSE THIS PERFORMANCE IS FOR

OXFORD.
I WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE THAT

LOVE IS SO MUCH STRONGER THAN
HATE.

AVA SWISS!

HEIDI?

AVA SWISS, WHAT CAN I

SAY?
CONGRATULATIONS.

CONGRATULATIONS FOR NAILING THAT
SONG.

IT'S SUCH A HARD SONG TO SING.
YOU HAVE TO SING SO LOW AND SO

HIGH.
I'M IN AWE OF YOU AND YOUR

TALENT.
THANK YOU FOR TELLING YOUR

JOURNEY IN FRONT OF ALL OF US
AND GIVE SO MANY PEOPLE HOPE.

- YOU NAILED IT.
- SOFIA?

I THINK YOU'RE SO
CONNECTED TO WHAT YOU'RE DOING,

TO YOUR PERFORMANCE, THERE'S NO
WAY YOU CAN'T MOVE US.

IT'S ALWAYS MOVING WHEN WE SEE
YOU HERE AND THIS WAS

- SPECTACULAR LIKE THE LAST TIME.
- SIMON?

AVA, I MEAN... LIKE I
SAID WHEN WE FIRST MET, YOU'RE

GUTSY.
THAT SONG, IT WAS MORE... IT WAS

A STATEMENT.
YOU KNOW, THE LYRICS IN THAT

SONG AFTER YOU TOLD US WHAT
HAPPENED AND I CAN SAY THIS NOW

AS A PARENT, THE FACT THAT
YOU'VE HAD THE STRENGTH TO COME

OUT HERE ON THE LIVE SHOWS AFTER
THAT AUDITION, I THINK YOU'RE

REMARKABLE.
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.

- HOWIE?
- AS SIMON SAID, YOU ARE

GUTSY.
IT'S HARD TO SHOW UP HERE ANYHOW

AND BE JUDGED AND BE ON THE
NUMBER ONE TELEVISION SHOW IN

THE COUNTRY.
YOU ARE THE EPITOME OF INSPIRING

THE ENTIRE WORLD.
ONE WORD COMES TO MIND,

RESILIENT, AND THAT'S WHAT YOU
ARE.

AVA, HAVING GONE
THROUGH SO MUCH, DO YOU HAVE ANY

ADVISE FOR ANYONE WHO MAY BE
GOING THROUGH A TOUGH TIME RIGHT

NOW?
YEAH.

STUFF'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN LIFE,
BUT, IF YOU HAVE DREAMS, NO

MATTER HOW BIG THEY ARE, DON'T
LET ANYTHING HOLD YOU BACK.

WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, LOVE
IS STRONGER THAN HATE.

BEAUTIFUL.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, AVA.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE AVA IN THE
FINALS, YOU GOTTA VOTE.

GET ONLINE OR USE THE OFFICIAL
"AGT" APP.

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT FROM THE APP
STORE OR GOOGLE PLAY.

COMING UP, THE SENSATIONALLY
FUNNY, PARMESAN LOVING

SINGER/SONGWRITER BEN LAPIDUS.
FIND OUT IF HE'S GOT WHAT IT

TAKES TO MAKE THE FINALS RIGHT
AFTER THIS.

WHEN THE JUDGES WERE
CHOOSING THE 55 ACTS TO MAKE IT

TO THE LIVE SHOWS, THEY PICKED
54, BUT THEY COULD NOT AGREE ON

THE LAST ACT.
SO THEY DECIDED TO LET YOU AT

HOME CHOOSE THE ACT TO TAKE THAT
LAST SPOT.

YOU VOTED AND I CAN FINALLY NOW
REVEAL THE ACT YOU PICKED IS...

COMEDIAN JORDAN CONLEY.

CHECK OUT HIS REACTION WHEN I
DELIVERED THE NEWS.

HEY.
JORDAN, WHAT'S UP, MAN?

IT'S TERRY CREWS.
CHECK IT OUT.

AMERICA PICKED YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

ARE YOU READY?
I'VE BEEN READY ALL MY LIFE.

ALL RIGHT, BABY.
GO CELEBRATE.

AND JORDAN WILL BE

HERE PERFORMING LIVE LATER IN
THE SEASON.

OKAY.
NEXT TONIGHT IS A GUY WHO HAD AN

UNUSUAL START TO HIS "AGT"
JOURNEY.

HE GOT FOUR Xs AT THE AUDITIONS,
BUT THE PEOPLE SPOKE.

THE AUDIENCE REBELLED AGAINST
THE JUDGES AND THIS GUY GOT

EVERYBODY SINGING ALONG,
INCLUDING SIMON COWELL.

FROM DOYLESTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA,
HERE'S BEN LAPIDUS.

♪ I ALWAYS WANT MORE PARMESAN ♪
MY FIRST AUDITION, I WAS

PLAYING MY SONG.
PRETTY SOON IN I HEARD THE...

IT'S HARD TO KEEP GOING WHEN
SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS.

BOOM, IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
AND AGAIN.

AND AGAIN.
IT WAS HARD.

THEN THE POWER OF THE CROWD MADE
THE JUDGES CHANGE THEIR MINDS.

NOW I'M THE FIRST ACT IN
"AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" HISTORY

TO GET FOUR Xs AND MAKE IT TO
THE LIVE SHOW.

BEFORE THE AUDITION AIRED, I WAS
BEN.

NOW I'M THE PARMESAN GUY.
I'VE BEEN BLOWN AWAY BY THE

SUPPORT.
I AM SO THRILLED TO PERFORM

LIVE, BUT THE IDEA OF GETTING
Xed AGAIN, I'M SCARED.

SO FOR THIS PERFORMANCE I KNOW I
HAVE TO DO SOMETHING REALLY

SPECIAL.
I'M GOING TO SHOW AMERICA THE

OTHER SIDE OF ME.
I'VE BEEN WRITING SONGS SINCE I

WAS A KID.
I'M READY TO SHARE SOMETHING

MORE SERIOUS AND SINCERE, CLOSE
TO MY HEART.

AMERICA HEARD ME THE FIRST TIME
AND I JUST HOPE THEY'LL HEAR ME

AGAIN.

I'VE NEVER BEEN LACTOSE
INTOLERANT, BUT HE MAKES ME

- LACTOSE INTOLERANT.
- THE PEOPLE ARE

SPEAKING.
HEIDI, YOU LOVED IT.

I LOVE IT.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I THINK... I THINK THAT YOU ARE
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES.

THEY DON'T GET IT.
BY THE WAY, THAT WAS NOTHING.

- SOFIA?
- BEN, YOU SEEM LIKE A

SUPER NICE GUY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU MADE

IT HERE.
HOW?

- HOW ARE YOU BACK HERE?
- SIMON, THE PLACE IS

GOING NUTS RIGHT NOW.
IT'S PANDEMONIUM IN HERE.

BEN, TALK TO ME, MAN.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO GET

THE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR YOU?
LISTEN, I THINK THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE AREN'T STUPID.
WE KNOW THE BIG PARMA

BUREAUCRATS HAVE INFILTRATED THE
MEDIA, THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM AND

- GOVERNMENT.
- NO BIG PARMA.

SIMON, TALK TO ME.
HE'S SPEECHLESS.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, BEN.
BEN IS COUNTING ON YOU.

TO VOTE FOR HIM OR ANY OF
TONIGHT'S ACTS ONLINE, HEAD OVER

CLOSE AT 7:00 A.M. EASTERN
TOMORROW.

GO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
STILL TO COME TONIGHT, A CHOIR

OF PRO FOOTBALL PLAYERS GETS ONE
OF THE TOUGHEST CHALLENGES OF

THEIR CAREERS, MAKING THE "AGT"
FINALS.

AND A BEAUTY QUEEN TURNED
STAND-UP COMEDIAN LACE LARRABEE

GETS HER SHOT.
STAY RIGHT THERE.

PARMESAN!
PARMESAN!

THIS ACT FIRST STARTED
APPEARING ON STAGES IN BEAUTY

PAGEANTS, BUT TONIGHT, SHE'S
HERE TO SHOW HER REAL PASSION,

STAND-UP COMEDY.
FROM MARIETTA, GEORGIA, SHE'S

LACE LARRABEE.
AS A KID I ALWAYS WANTED TO

PERFORM.
GROWING UP WE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN

MORE FAR AWAY FROM HOLLYWOOD
THAN A TRAILER IN SOUTH GEORGIA.

I SIGNED UP FOR MY SCHOOL
PAGEANT WHEN I WAS 13 YEARS OLD.

MY MOM RENTED A DRESS FOR ME.
IT WAS THE BEST THING I COULD DO

AT THE TIME TO CHASE MY DREAM OF
BEING A COMEDIAN.

DOING COMEDY, THEY NEEDED AN ODD
BALL IN THE PAGEANT WORLD.

EVERYBODY WAS LIKE WHY DON'T YOU
PICK A REAL TALENT?

I KEPT SAYING THIS IS WHAT I
WANT TO DO FOR A LIVING AND IT

LED ME HERE.
MY PARENTS WERE TEENAGERS WHEN

THEY HAD ME.
THEY SACRIFICED SO MUCH TO TAKE

CARE OF MY SISTER AND I.
I GUESS THAT'S A HUGE REASON

THAT I REALLY WANT TO IMPRESS
THEM AND I REALLY WANT TO WORK

HARD AT MY CRAFT AND I DON'T
WANT ALL THIS TIME AND ENERGY I

PUT INTO STAND-UP COMEDY TO BE A
WASTE.

TONIGHT IS NOT GOING TO BE ABOUT
MY SMILE OR WHATEVER DRESS I'M

WEARING.
I'M MORE THAN THAT.

THIS IS A CULMINATION OF ALL MY
EXPERIENCES.

I'VE BEEN WORKING FOR THIS
MOMENT MY ENTIRE LIFE.

I'M NOT GOING TO LET IT PASS ME
BY.

HEY, WE ARE AT THE LIVE

SHOWS.
THIS IS INSANITY.

Y'ALL, MY HUSBAND IS IN THE
AUDIENCE.

LET'S TALK SOME TRASH ABOUT HIM.
YOU READY?

I LOVE TELLING PEOPLE I MARRIED
MY BEST FRIEND.

I SAY IT ALL THE TIME.
I MARRIED MY BEST FRIEND.

I DON'T MEAN IT.
I SAY IT.

I LOVE MY GUY.
I WOULD CALL HIM MY SOUL MATE,

OR THE FIRST ONE WHOEVER ASKED.
ONE OF THOSE.

WHEN WE WERE DATING, I WOULD
FANTASIZE ABOUT THE PROPOSAL AND

WHAT THAT DREAM RING WOULD LOOK
LIKE, AND, Y'ALL, I'M STILL

FANTASIZING.
EXACTLY.

THERE'S A DIAMOND IN THERE.
THAT'S WHAT HE SAID IT WAS.

SO WE'LL GO WITH THAT.
GUYS GET BOTHERED WHEN I SAY

THAT.
I SAID THAT ON STAGE THE OTHER

NIGHT AND A GUY YELLED, HEY, HE
WORKED HARD.

I WAS LIKE HE COULD HAVE WORKED
HARDER, BUD.

HE'S JUST NOT GOOD AT JEWELRY
AND THAT'S MY FAULT BECAUSE I

DID MENTION THAT'S MY FAULT
BECAUSE I DID MENTION EQUIPMENT

A PROUD FEMINIST TOO MANY TIMES.
HE SAID, I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T

LIKE DIAMONDS, AND I WAS LIKE
NOT THAT KIND OF FEMINIST.

IT'S NOT A MONEY ISSUE EITHER.
HE'S GREAT AT SPENDING MONEY ON

THINGS HE'S INTO.
I JUST WRONGLY THOUGHT THAT WAS

ME.
SO FAR HE'S SPENT HIS MONEY ON A

FLEET OF MOUNTAIN BIKES.
HOW MANY IS IN A FLEET YOU ASK.

PUT IT THIS WAY, EVERY TIME I
WALK INTO THE GARAGE I SEE SIX

BETTER ENGAGEMENT RINGS WITH
HANDLE BARS.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE CAN'T AFFORD
TO HAVE KIDS YET BECAUSE WE HAVE

BICYCLES INSTEAD.
I'M READY TO BE A MOM.

I THINK I WOULD BE GREAT AT IT,
MAINLY BECAUSE I'VE RAISED A LOT

OF MEN.
ALL MY GIRLFRIENDS ARE MOMS NOW,

THOUGH, AND IT'S WEIRD.
BECAUSE I KNOW THESE WOMEN.

I USED TO PARTY WITH THESE WOMEN
IN OUR 20s.

I REMEMBER WHEN THEY DIDN'T CARE
ABOUT THINGS LIKE... TOMORROW.

BACK THEN, WE JUST WENT OUT,
WE HAD NO RULES.

DRANK EVERYTHING WE CAN CAME IN
CONTACT WITH.

DIDN'T EVEN DO THE PREDRINKING
RHYME BEER BEFORE LIQUOR GETS

YOU SICKER... SIMON, YOU KNOW
THE REST.

WE JUST DRANK WHATEVER CHAD'S
BUYING AT THE BAR.

NOW THAT WE'RE IN OUR 30s WHEN
WE GO OUT FOR GIRLS' NIGHT IT'S

DIFFERENT.
BETH HAS TO USE AN APP ON HER

PHONE TO FIND OUT WHICH WINE ON
THE MENU IS GLUTEN FREE.

MEG'S GOTTA KEEP A TIMER ON TO
SEE HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE SHE

PUMPED.
CAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT TO GET

THE BABY DRUNK AGAIN.
SHE HATES FUN I GUESS.

THEN MORGAN TRIES TO ORDER FOR
THE WHOLE TABLE BECAUSE SHE'S

BEEN TO A WINERY RECENTLY SO NOW
SHE KNOWS WINE.

SHE'S LIKE, EXCUSE ME.

SHE'S LIKE EXCUSE ME.
SHE'S LIKE, EXCUSE ME, HI.

WE'VE GOT FIVE LADIES HERE.
WE'RE GONNA SPLIT ONE BOTTLE OF

TEMPRANILLO.
I'M IN THE BACK LIKE, NO.

WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS I'M GONNA
FINISH DRINKING THIS PURSE

VODKA.
THEN I'M GONNA NEED MY OWN

BOTTLE OF WINE TO MAKE IT
THROUGH THE NIGHT WITH YOU

LIARS.
I'M JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO THE

NEXT STAGE IN OUR FRIENDSHIP
WHEN WE'RE ALL IN OUR 40s AND

WE'LL BE DIVORCED AND BACK TO
BEING DRUNKEN FLOOZIES AGAIN.

THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I APPRECIATE IT.

LACE LARRABEE!

- HEIDI?
- I LIKE YOU.

I DO.
I THINK YOU ARE A LITTLE

SOUTHERN BELL WITH A LITTLE
SOUTHERN COMFORT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CONTINUED
DOING THIS WITH THIS X WITH

SIMON.
I GOT STARTLED.

YOU JUST KEPT ON GOING.
I COMMEND YOU FOR THAT.

YOU'RE LIKABLE.
HEY, IF YOU WIN THAT MILLION

DOLLARS, MAYBE YOU CAN GET A
BETTER DIAMOND.

SIMON, WHAT'S THE
ISSUE?

- WHAT'S THE ISSUE, MAN?
- I ACTUALLY DID THAT,

LACE, TO HELP YOU BECAUSE IT WAS
GOING DOWNHILL.

THERE WAS SOMETHING MISSING FOR
ME.

IT WAS LIKE... IT FELT... OH,
SHUT UP.

IT FELT REALLY ALMOST REHEARSED
RATHER THAN SPONTANEOUS.

YOU WERE MUCH FUNNIER, IN MY
OPINION, ON YOUR FIRST AUDITION.

I JUST DIDN'T FIND IT THAT FUNNY
I'M AFRAID.

HOWIE, WHAT DO YOU
THINK?

COMEDY AND HUMOR IS
SUBJECTIVE.

I THINK YOU HAVE GREAT STAGE
PRESENCE.

YOU HAVE A GREAT DELIVERY.
YOUR FIRST SET YOU DID AT THE

AUDITION WAS VERY RELATABLE TO A
WIDER AUDIENCE.

I THINK THAT LADIES,
PARTICULARLY LADIES, WOULD HAVE

RELATED MORE TO... I THINK
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO SIMON.

THERE WASN'T STUFF THAT HE COULD
RELATE TO.

I DID SAY THERE'S USUALLY A
MAN IN THE AUDIENCE AND YELLS

OUT AND INTERRUPTS ME, SO I'M
NOT SURPRISED.

- SOFIA?
- NOW THAT WAS FUNNY.

I THOUGHT YOUR FIRST
AUDITION WAS SO, SO PERFECT.

IT WAS GOING TO BE HARD FOR YOU
TO COME WITH SOMETHING THAT WAS

MORE SPECTACULAR THAN THAT.
I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED THIS

TIME.
I LIKED IT THE FIRST ONE, BUT I

STILL THINK YOU'RE IN THE RACE.
I THINK PEOPLE LOVE YOU.

I AGREE.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, LACE.

LISTEN, LACE NEEDS YOUR VOTES.
REMEMBER, ONLY TWO ACTS CAN GO

THROUGH TO THE FINALS.
VOTING WILL STAY OPEN UNTIL 7:00

A.M. EASTERN TOMORROW.
SO GET ON IT.

COMING UP, ONE OF THE HOTTEST
NEW COUNTRY SINGERS, DRAKE

MILLIGAN.
FIND OUT IF HE'S GOT WHAT IT

TAKES TO MAKE THE FINALS RIGHT
AFTER THIS.

WHEN THIS SINGER
STEPPED OUT AT THE AUDITION, I'M

GUESSING HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS
ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO HIS LIFE.

THAT WAS JUST THE START OF THIS
GUY'S RIDE.

FROM NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE,
HERE'S DRAKE MILLIGAN.

I USED TO WATCH THE ED
SULLIVAN SHOW AND I SEE THIS ON

- THE SAME SCALE.
- YOU'RE LIKE THE NEW

ELVIS OF COUNTRY.
CONGRATULATIONS.

I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR WHAT
HAPPENED AFTER MY AUDITION

AIRED.
LAST NIGHT "AGT" CONTESTANT

DRAKE MILLIGAN MOVED TO THE TOP
OF THE iTUNES COUNTRY MUSIC

CHART.
I WAS LIKE THIS IS AMAZING.

I GOT A TASTE OF THAT AND IT
MAKES ME WANT TO WIN EVEN MORE.

I GREW UP BEING A BIG ELVIS FAN.
I REALLY WANTED TO DEVELOP MY

OWN STYLE AND SING MY OWN SONGS.
I'VE BEEN PAYING MY DUES,

PLAYING HONKY TONKS WITH 15
PEOPLE IN THERE.

BEING ON THE LIVE SHOWS ON
"AGT," I'M SO GRATEFUL.

I CAN PLAY THOSE HUGE SHOWS AND
MAKE BIG RECORDS.

I'M GOING TO BE DOING ANOTHER
ORIGINAL SONG CALLED "KISS

GOOD-BYE TONIGHT."
THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSURE.

HOPEFULLY THE JUDGES AND ALL OF
AMERICA ENJOYS IT BECAUSE THIS

IS MY BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY TO
HAVE THAT CAREER IN COUNTRY

MUSIC I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF
SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID.

DRAKE MILLIGAN!

WHOA!
SOFIA?

- THEY'RE ON THEIR FEET.
- DRAKE, IT WAS... I

MEAN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE A
THING.

YOUR SONGS ARE LIKE THEY'VE BEEN
PLAYING ON THE RADIO FOR YEARS.

YOU ARE AMAZING.
YOU'RE THE WHOLE PACKAGE.

I THINK YOU'RE GONNA BE... I
THINK YOU ARE A STAR.

HOWIE, ARE YOU A
LITTLE BIT COUNTRY?

I'M A LITTLE BIT JEW.
YOU KNOW WHAT, HERE'S WHAT I

WANT TO SAY TO YOU.
FIRST OF ALL, I PREDICT THAT

SONG WILL BE NUMBER ONE ON THE
COUNTRY CHART AGAIN.

I PROMISE YOU.
I AGREE WITH SOFIA.

YOU'RE ALREADY A STAR.
THE SONG IS GREAT.

THE MUSIC IS GREAT.
THE PERFORMANCE IS GREAT.

YOUR LOOKS ARE GREAT.
YOU HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF

WINNING THIS WHOLE THING.
ONLY TWO PEOPLE TONIGHT, YOU'LL

- BE ONE OF THEM.
- HEIDI?

WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE?
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT STAR POWER, IT

FACTOR, YOU GOT IT SPRINKLED ALL
OVER YOU.

- SIMON?
- I HAVE TO SAY

SOMETHING.
A LOT OF PEOPLE AFTER PERFORMING

ON THE AUDITION AND THEIR SONG
GOES TO NUMBER ONE, THEY WOULD

JUST WALK AND NOT COMPETE.
THE FACT THAT THAT HAPPENED AND

YOU STILL COME BACK TO COMPETE
IN THIS COMPETITION IS

ABSOLUTELY... I WAS CONCERNED
ABOUT THAT.

IN MY OPINION, I THINK YOU'RE
THE REAL DEAL.

YOU'RE A GREAT SONGWRITER.
YOU HAVE CHARISMA.

I'M KIND OF WITH HOWIE HERE.
BASED ON TONIGHT, LET'S FORGET

THE CHEESE THING, THIS IS, IN MY
OPINION, THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF

- THE NIGHT.
- NOW, DRAKE, LISTEN,

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE THIS
PACKED HOUSE ON THEIR FEET HERE

AT THE "AGT" LIVE SHOW?
I FEEL RIGHT AT HOME.

I FEEL RIGHT AT HOME.
IT'S AWESOME.

- IT'S SO COOL.
- GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,

DRAKE.
REMEMBER, ALL OF TONIGHT'S ACTS

ARE DEPENDING ON YOU, SO YOU
GOTTA VOTE.

COMING UP...

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING.
YOU WERE SCARY, DRAMATIC.

- I LOVED IT.
- SHOWMANSHIP,

ORIGINALITY.
IT WAS A TEN.

TOMORROW NIGHT IS A
BIG, BIG NIGHT.

YOUR VOTES WILL PUT TWO OF THIS
WEEK'S ACTS STRAIGHT INTO THE

FINALS AND THAT MEANS NINE ACTS
WILL BE LEAVING THE COMPETITION.

IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE MOST
INTENSE RESULTS SHOWS WE'VE EVER

HAD, AND I CANNOT WAIT.
AND CHECK THIS, LAST YEAR'S

"AGT" CHAMPION IS MAKING A
TRIUMPHANT RETURN.

YEP, THE INCREDIBLE DUSTIN
TAVELLA WILL BE HERE WITH AN

AMAZING PERFORMANCE.
THAT'S ALL TOMORROW AT 8/7

CENTRAL.
WHEN HEIDI SAYS, THAT CAN'T BE

GOOD FOR YOUR GROIN, YOU KNOW
THERE IS SOMETHING PRETTY WEIRD

GOING ON STAGE.
THIS ACT IS MIND BLOWING, BODY

BENDING AND IT IS OFF THE
CHARTS.

FROM UKRAINE, HERE IS OLEKSANDR
YENIVATOV.

WHEN I PERFORM ON STAGE, YOU
SEE MANY DIFFERENT FACES, BUT

UNDERNEATH MY CAP I'M A PROUD
UKRAINIAN.

I GROW UP IN UKRAINE.
AS A CHILD THERE, I LOVED TO

WATCH BRUCE LEE AND JACKIE CHAN
MOVIES.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH PERFORMING.
I TRAINED MY BODY TO MOVE IN

- IMPOSSIBLE WAYS.
- OH!

OH!
I NEVER DREAMT ONE DAY MY

TALENT WOULD BRING ME AND MY
BEAUTIFUL WIFE TO AMERICA.

WHERE ARE YOU GUYS
FROM?

I'M UKRAINIAN.

I'M GOING TO TAKE MY X

AWAY.
THEN SIMON TOOK BACK HIS X TO

HONOR THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE.
WE FELT SO MUCH COMPASSION.

TONIGHT I PERFORM FOR PEACE AND
I PERFORM FOR THE PEOPLE OF

I PERFORM FOR THE PEOPLE OF
UKRAINE.

OLEKSANDR YENIVATOV!
WOW.

SOFIA, DID THAT TWIST UP YOUR
MIND ♪

YES.
IT'S HORRIBLE.

IT'S WEIRD.
IT'S DISTURBING AND IT'S

FASCINATING AT THE SAME TIME.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A HUMAN

- BODY CAN DO THIS KIND OF THING.
- SIMON, WHAT DID YOU

- THINK?
- WELL, I DIDN'T LIKE

THE AUDITION VERY MUCH, BUT
TONIGHT I LOVE YOU.

- YES!
- BOTH OF YOU ARE REALLY

NICE PEOPLE AND WE GOT TO KNOW
EACH OTHER.

IT WAS A BIT AWKWARD WHEN WE
FIRST MET.

WHAT I LOVED ABOUT TONIGHT WAS
IS YOU REALLY PUSHED YOURSELF

AND DID THINGS WE'VE NEVER SEEN
BEFORE.

FOR ME THAT IS WHAT A LIVE SHOW
PERFORMANCE IS ALL ABOUT,

SOMETHING WE'VE NEVER SEEN
BEFORE AND YOU'LL TALK ABOUT.

- REALLY GREAT.
- HEIDI?

I CAN'T BELIEVE HALF
OF THE STUFF I'M SEEING.

IT'S INCREDIBLE.
YOU'RE LIKE THE HUMAN

- NUTCRACKER.
- LITERALLY.

FACING FORWARD,
BACKWARDS AT THE SAME TIME.

IT'S INSANE.
IT'S SO BIZARRE.

IT'S SO STRANGE.
I WANT TO SEE MORE ODDLY.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT,
OLEKSANDR.

DO YOU WANT TO SEE OLEKSANDR IN
THE FINALS?

THEN VOTE.
VOTING IS OPEN NOW AND WILL STAY

OPEN UNTIL 7:00 A.M. EASTERN
TOMORROW.

YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR
EACH ACT WITH EACH VOTING

METHOD.
SO USE YOUR VOTING POWER.

COMING UP, WE GOT FOOTBALL
PLAYERS SINGING AND AN ENGINEER

WHO'S GONNA GET YOU LAUGHING.
THEY'RE ALL HOPING TO MAKE THE

FINALS.
DO NOT MOVE.

NEXT UP, WE'VE GOT 15
PRO BALLERS.

BUT THE GREATEST SCORE THEY CAN
MAKE TONIGHT IS A SPOT IN THE

SEASON FINALS.
HOW ARE THEY GOING TO GET THERE?

THEY ARE GOING TO SING.
CHECK OUT THE PLAYERS CHOIR.

TO BE AN NFL PLAYER TAKES
DRIVE, GRIT, SACRIFICE AND THAT

COMPETITIVE SPIRIT.
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE BEING IN

THAT LOCKER ROOM.
WE SPEND YEARS WITH THESE PEOPLE

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT
STOPS.

THIS CHOIR GIVES US SOMETHING
THAT A LOT OF US MISS AFTER WE

LEAVE THE GAME, THE BROTHERHOOD,
THE COMRADERY.

WE'RE NATURALLY TAUGHT TO
COME TOGETHER AS A TEAM.

WE WANTED AN OUTLET FOR OUR
MUSIC.

GUYS SENT US MELANIE FEW.
PEOPLE WHEN THEY HEAR ABOUT

IT, THEY DON'T REALIZE THEY'RE
GUYS IN THE NFL WHO HAVE

BEAUTIFUL VOICES.
I WANTED TO HEAR THAT WITHOUT

THE TRACK.
WHEN SIMON ASKED US TO SING

ACAPELLA, I KNOW I WAS NERVOUS.
♪ LEAN ON ME WHEN YOU'RE NOT

- STRONG ♪
- 3,000 YESES.

THIS TIME AROUND WE WANT TO
SHOW VERSATILITY AND MOVE AND

KEEP THE ENERGY HIGH.
THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME

OPPORTUNITY.
BY THE TIME WE HIT THE STAGE,

IT'S LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION.
THIS STAGE IS OUR SUPER BOWL.

WE WANT A RING.

THE PLAYERS CHOIR!
YES, THEY'RE ON THEIR FEET.

SIMON, YOU LOVED IT.
YES!

LOOK AT THIS.
HOWIE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

HERE'S WHAT I SAY, AND
THIS AUDIENCE IS SAYING IT.

I HOPE THE PEOPLE AT HOME FEEL
IT.

LISTENING TO YOU... I'M NOT A
FAN OF CHOIRS, BUT YOU MAKE US

FEEL GOOD.
YOU MAKE US SMILE.

YOU MAKE US BOP TO THE MUSIC.
IT WASN'T PART OF YOUR PACKAGE.

I KNOW YOU'VE HAD A VERY TRYING
WEEK.

I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A TOUGH
WEEK.

I KNOW WHO YOU PEOPLE ARE.
I DO A LITTLE RESEARCH.

YOU DO GREAT THINGS FOR YOUR
CITY, FOR YOUR PEOPLE, FOR YOUR

CULTURE.
YOU'RE VERY CHARITABLE.

YOU'RE GOOD.
YOU PUT A SMILE ON OUR FACE.

THE WORLD NEEDS NOTHING MORE
THAN A SMILE RIGHT NOW AND YOU

- DELIVERED IT.
- HEIDI?

REALLY ONLY ON
"AMERICA'S GOT TALENT" YOU GET

TO SEE FOOTBALL STARS DANCING
AND SINGING.

I THINK IT WAS A SONG FROM THE
"TROLLS" MOVIE, RIGHT?

IT'S THE CUTEST.
GOOD VIBES.

- ONLY GOOD VIBES.
- TERRY, CAN I SAY

- SOMETHING?
- YES, YOU CAN.

- YOU WERE ON YOUR FEET.
- I LOVE BEING

SURPRISED.
WE JUDGE THESE AUDITIONS... NOT

AUDITIONS, PERFORMANCES, ON HOW
IT MAKES US FEEL.

I FELT AMAZING AFTER THAT.
PLEASE, PLEASE, AMERICA, PICK UP

THE PHONE AND VOTE THEM THROUGH
TO THE FINALS.

- WE NEED YOU.
- YES!

GOOD LUCK, GENTLEMEN.
REMEMBER, A SPOT IN THE FINALS

IS AT STAKE HERE.
SO VOTE, VOTE AND VOTE AGAIN.

DANCERS FROM COLOMBIA HOPE THEY
CAN MAKE THEIR DREAMS COME TRUE

RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA.
STAY RIGHT THERE.

IF YOU WANT TO BE
RIGHT HERE IN THIS THEATER

WATCHING THE SHOW, YOU CAN.
THERE ARE STILL A FEW TICKETS

HAPPEN.
NOW, AMERICA IS ALL ABOUT PEOPLE

COMING HERE TO LIVE THEIR DREAM.
AND HERE ARE TWO DANCERS WHO ARE

HOPING THEIR DREAM WILL COME
TRUE RIGHT HERE ON "AGT."

FROM COLOMBIA MEET STEFANNY AND
YEREMY.

YEREMY.

STEFANNY AND YEREMY.
SOFIA?

I MEAN, I THOUGHT IT
WAS SPECTACULAR.

I THOUGHT IT WAS PERFECTION.
YOU GUYS CAME TO THE RIGHT

PLACE.
THE PEOPLE ARE LOVING YOU.

SIMON, WHAT'S THE

PROBLEM?

I AM A BIT LOCO.
THE REASON I PRESSED THE BUZZER

IS I FELT THE ACT NEEDED A
TRANSITION MIDWAY THROUGH.

IT JUST... IT FELT VERY LIKE
THAT THE WHOLE THING.

THEY WANTED TO SHOW

LATIN PEOPLE CAN DO A LOT MORE
THINGS.

I THINK YOU'RE AMAZING
TALENTED.

I WAS FRUSTRATED.
TO GET THROUGH TO THE FINAL YOU

GOT TO DO SOMETHING SPECTACULAR
ON THE FINAL WHICH MEANT DOING

SOMETHING DIFFERENT AT THE END.
THAT'S WHY.

- YOU ARE VERY TALENTED.
- STEFANNY AND YEREMY,

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.
LISTEN, EVERY VOTE COUNTS, SO

GET BUSY.
THIS IS FOR THE FINALS.

YOU CAN VOTE UP TO TEN TIMES FOR
EACH ACT WITH EACH VOTING

METHOD.
SO GET TO IT.

COMING UP...
I'M NOT A GEEK.

I'M A NERD.
I HAVE A DIAGRAM TO SHOW YOU THE

- DIFFERENCE.
- IT'S IN YOUR BLOOD.

- THIS IS YOUR DESTINY.
- I GOT YOU.

AT THE START OF THIS
ACT'S AUDITION SIMON SAID I

CAN'T DEAL WITH ANYMORE
COMEDIANS.

BY THE END OF THE ACT, SIMON
HADN'T CHANGED HIS MIND, BUT THE

OTHER THREE JUDGES WERE BLOWN
AWAY.

FROM SANTA CLARITA, CALIFORNIA,
HERE'S MORE ON DON McMILLAN.

I WAS FOR MANY YEARS AN
ENGINEER.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
IT DIDN'T FILL MY SOUL.

THEN I DID STAND UP.
I'M THE BLUE DOT.

THE MINUTE I GET ALL MY CLOTHES
OFF 12 GUYS WALK IN.

IN THE FIRST AUDITION, I COULD
TELL SIMON WAS GRUMPY.

THIS REACTION IS WHAT I NEED TO
FOCUS ON.

I'M GOING TO WIN HIM OVER.
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG

TIME.
THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY PEOPLE

THAT CAUGHT ME TO THIS POINT.
MY WIFE, MY SON, MY MOM AND DAD,

I HOPE I MAKE THEM PROUD.
I WISHED I COULD DO THIS

FOREVER.
I'M NOT A SPRING CHICKEN

ANYMORE.
AS A COMEDIAN, YOU HAVE TO STAND

APART BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL
FABULOUS.

THIS IS MY CHANCE TO ESTABLISH
MYSELF AS A NATIONAL COMEDIAN.

THAT'S THE DREAM, TO MAKE AS
MANY PEOPLE LAUGH AS I CAN.

WHEN I'M PERFORMING, I'M GIVING
TO THE WORLD AND IT'S GIVING

BACK TO ME.
THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE TO DO IT

FOR AS MANY PEOPLE AS I CAN.
♪ IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE ♪

♪ IT'S HIP TO BE SQUARE ♪
OH, YES!

YOU LIKE MY MOVES?
YOU LIKE MY MOVES?

YES.
I CALL THAT DANCE LIKE AN

ENGINEER, BABY.
YES.

BY THE WAY, I WANT TO SAY THANK
YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE.

AS A COMIC, IT'S AN HONOR TO BE
ON THIS STAGE, JUDGES,

EVERYBODY.
TONIGHT I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT

ENGINEERS.
HOW DO WE THINK.

WE ALWAYS SEE A BETTER WAY.
CARPOOL LANES FOR EXAMPLE, GOOD

IDEA.
WHAT A BETTER IDEA?

CELL PHONE LANES.
IF YOU'RE ON YOUR CAR AND YOU'RE

TALKING GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR,
YOU GOT TO GET IN THE RIGHT-HAND

LANE.
OR HERE'S ANOTHER IDEA, WE ALLOT

THE LANES BY MINIMUM SPEED...
55, 65, 75, 85 AND THEN GO FOR

IT IN THE LEFT LANE.
YES.

WE CAN EVEN MAKE IT FUN.
WE'LL POST A HIGH SCORE AND THEN

YOUR INITIALS.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE COOL.

SOMETIMES I IMMEDIATELY SEE A
BETTER WAY.

I WALKED BY THIS SIGN THE OTHER
DAY OPTOMETRY CENTER.

GOOD SIGN.
WANT TO SEE A BETTER SIGN?

THAT IS A BETTER SIGN.
IF YOU DIDN'T SEE IT, LET ME

SHOW IT TO YOU AGAIN.
GOOD SIGN.

FAR SUPERIOR SIGN.
THE WALK-YOU HAVE TRAFFIC ALONE

IS GOING TO TRIPLE.
IS THE WORLD BETTER TODAY?

THEY DID A SURVEY.
LOOK AT THIS SURVEY.

THEY ASKED PEOPLE, WHAT IS THE
FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN YOU GET

OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING?
35% OF PEOPLE CHECK TEXTS.

23% READ EMAIL.
REMEMBER THOSE DAYS?

GO AHEAD.
REMEMBER THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS

WHEN WE HAD TIME TO PEE IN THE
MORNING?

AH, THAT WAS NICE.
THEY WERE GLORIOUS DAYS.

BY THE WAY, 3% OF PEOPLE WOULD
SAY, I CHANGED THE SHEETS

BECAUSE I PEED IN THEM.
THAT WAS THE ONLY OTHER OPTION.

JUST TWO OPTIONS.
THESE ARE MY TECH PEEVES.

THESE ARE THE THINGS IN
TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKE ME MAD.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THEM.
FIRST OFF, WHY IS PRINTER INK SO

DARN EXPENSIVE?
WHY?

I FOUND THIS CHART.
STANDARD BLACK INK IS 70 CENTS

PER MILLILITER.
THAT WORKS OUT TO $16,218 A

GALLON.
THAT'S INSANE.

DO NOT PAINT YOUR HOUSE IN
PRINTER INK.

LET'S COMPARE THIS TO OTHER
LIQUIDS.

HUMAN BLOOD IS 38 CENTS PER
MILLILITER.

THE ESSENCE OF HUMAN LIFE IS
CHEAPER THAN PRINTER INK.

HOW WRONG IS THAT?
COBRA VENOM IS CHEAPER.

CRUDE OIL IS A TENTH OF A CENT
PER MILLILITER.

THEY HAVE TO DRILL A MILE INTO
THE GROUND TO GET OIL.

WHERE ARE THEY GETTING PRINTER
INK... THE CORE OF THE EARTH?

WHERE IS IT COMING FROM?
I FIGURED OUT WHAT TO DO.

FORGET IT.
FROM NOW ON I AM PRINTING IN

BLOOD.
THAT'S WHAT I DO.

I'VE GOT AN IV RIGHT FROM MY
ARM, RIGHT TO THE BACK OF MY

PRINTER.
I PRINT A BIG DOCUMENT, I GET

WOOZY.
I DON'T CARE.

I'M SAVING A TON OF MONEY.
AND I'VE GOT THREE CARTRIDGES...

A, B AND O.
THAT'S ALL I NEED.

OH, YOU GUYS ARE NICE.
ONE MORE.

ONE MORE.
I GOT TO GET TO MY LAST JOKE.

FINALLY, I'M ALL FOR SECURITY,
BUT COME ON.

TYPE THE LETTERS YOU SEE INTO
THE BOX.

I DON'T SEE ANY LETTERS.
DO YOU SEE ANY LETTERS?

I'VE BEEN READING MOST OF MY
LIFE.

I DO NOT SEE ANY LETTERS.
WHAT IS THAT?

NO, NO, NO!
THAT'S INSANE.

IF YOU'RE DRUNK, YOU CAN GET
RIGHT INTO THIS ACCOUNT.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE.
IS THAT A RORSCHACH TEST?

AND THIS IS WHERE AN AD POPS UP,
HAVING TROUBLE READING LETTERS?

YES.
THAT'S IT FOR ME.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

HOWIE, YOU'RE ON YOUR
FEET.

- YOU LOVE IT.
- I THINK YOU'RE FUNNY,

UNIQUE.
I THINK YOU ARE ALREADY A

NATIONAL TREASURE.
I'M SO THRILLED YOU'RE ON THIS

SHOW.
I HOPE THAT YOU'RE ONE OF THE

ONLY TWO THAT GETS VOTED
THROUGH.

PLEASE, AMERICA, WE NEED COMEDY
LIKE THIS.

SIMON, DID THAT WIN
YOU OVER?

I WANT TO SAY
SOMETHING.

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY
DIDN'T LIKE YOUR AUDITION.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE CRAZY
PUTTING YOU THROUGH TO THE LIVE

SHOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT, I WAS WRONG.

YES!

BECAUSE THAT WAS
REALLY CLEVER.

THAT'S WHAT I CALL A FINAL
PERFORMANCE.

- THAT WAS BRILLIANT.
- I ENJOYED IT, BUT I

ENJOYED HEARING MORE YOU SAYING
YOU WERE WRONG.

I LOVE WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
YOU'RE HAVING THE BEST TIME.

I CAN NEVER READ THOSE THINGS
EITHER.

I THINK YOUR COMEDY IS
WEIRD, UNIQUE AND AMAZING.

GOOD LUCK, DON.
SO DO YOU WANT TO SEE DON IN THE

FINALS?
THEN YOU HAVE TO VOTE.

THIS IS FOR THE FINALS.
OKAY.

OUR LAST ACT IS MY GOLDEN
BUZZER.

IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD FOR HIM,
BUT TONIGHT HE COULD MAKE IT TO

THE FINALS.
IT'S AVERY DIXON WHEN WE COME

BACK.

OUR LAST ACT TONIGHT

IS MY GOLDEN BUZZER.
HE'S BEEN BULLIED AT SCHOOL.

PEOPLE HAVE CALLED THE COPS ON
HIM FOR PRACTICING, AND HE

DIDN'T THINK HE WAS GOOD ENOUGH
TO AUDITION.

BUT HIS MOM KNEW BETTER AND HE
HAD THE WHOLE THEATER IN TEARS.

FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA, HERE'S
AVERY DIXON.

I WAS BORN PREMATURE.
I WAS 1 POUND, 8 OUNCES AND THE

DOCTORS ACTUALLY HAD TO HELP ME
BREATHE THROUGH A MACHINE.

HIS LUNGS WEREN'T FULLY
DEVELOPED AND HE HAD A HOLE IN

HIS VOCAL CORD.
IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL I WAS

BULLIED FOR BEING SMALL AND FOR
MY VOICE.

HE WAS TORN DOWN TO THE POINT
WHERE HE DIDN'T BELIEVE HE

SHOULD BE ON THIS EARTH ANYMORE.
IT WAS HARD BECAUSE I

COULDN'T REALLY TALK BACK.
THAT'S HOW I DISCOVERED THE

SAXOPHONE.
I STARTED OUT JUST MAKING NOISE,

BUT I LOVED IT.
IT FELT GOOD NOT JUST TO MAKE

NOISE, BUT TO CHANGE NOISE.
EVERY BUTTON ON THIS MAKES A

SOUND OF ITS OWN.
IT'S MY OUTLET FOR ALL MY

EMOTIONS.
IT'S MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY

- WORDS I'VE SPOKEN.
- YOU PLAY WITH YOUR

HEART AND WE FEEL IT.
I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS GOOD

ENOUGH TO BE ON THE "AMERICA'S
GOT TALENT'S" STAGE.

HEARING TERRY SAY THOSE BULLIES
WILL HAVE TO WATCH...

YOU SUCCEED, MY
FRIEND.

WHEN YOU HEAR THE CROWD, IT'S
LIKE IT'S WASHING OFF THAT

DOUBT, WALKING YOU TOWARDS YOUR
DREAMS.

NOW I KNOW I DO BELONG.
THIS NEXT PERFORMANCE WILL BE

WITH MY HEAD HELD HIGH.
THIS TIME THE BULLIES WON'T WIN.

THIS TIME THE BULLIES WON'T WIN.
IT'S MY SOUL SONG.

AVERY DIXON, MY GOLDEN

BUZZER.
SIMON?

AVERY, I WANT TO SAY
SOMETHING GENUINELY.

I KNOW WE SAY A LOT OF YOU'RE
GONNA BE A STAR ET CETERA.

I PROMISE YOU, AVERY, SINCE THE
TIME WE FIRST MET YOU UNTIL NOW

SOMETHING HAS CHANGED.
I'M GOING TO PREDICT SOMETHING.

I SAID THIS ABOUT CARRIE
UNDERWOOD YEARS AGO ON ANOTHER

SHOW, WHICH IS YOU'RE GONNA BE A
SUPERSTAR.

I PROMISE YOU, AVERY.
EVERYTHING YOU DREAMED OF, I

ACTUALLY BELIEVE IS GOING TO
HAPPEN BECAUSE THIS IS SO

DIFFERENT FROM... YOU WERE GREAT
THE FIRST TIME.

THIS WAS INCREDIBLE.
YOUR CONFIDENCE, YOUR TALENT,

EVERYTHING IS BRILLIANT.
I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU.

- SOFIA?
- THIS HAS BEEN AN

AMAZING NIGHT AND TO FINISH WITH
YOU IS SPECTACULAR.

THE WAY YOU LOOK, THE WAY YOU
SOUND, I MEAN, THERE'S NOTHING

- BETTER THAT YOU CAN DO.
- HEIDI?

I LOVE YOU.
AMERICA, LET'S BRING THIS KIND

OF MUSIC BACK.
VOTE FOR HIM.

VOTE FOR HIM.
I LOVE YOU.

- HOWIE?
- THE FIRST TIME WE

HEARD YOU YOU WERE A STAR.
YOU SHINED.

WATCHING YOU TONIGHT, YOU HAVE
GROWN BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS.
