LAST NIGHT BECAUSE THEY WERE
ABOUT TO PERFORM FOR YOUR VOTES
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
CHECK IT OUT.
THERE ARE ONLY TWO SPOTS
TONIGHT.
AM I NERVOUS?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO
START AGAIN.
- LET'S DO THIS.
- HERE WE GO.
IT'S THE LAST BATTLE
FOR THE FINALS.
- SHE'S KRISTEN CRUZ.
- THE WORD THAT COMES TO
- MIND IS POWERFUL.
- IT WAS AMAZING.
I WISH I COULD SING
LIKE THAT.
YOU HAVE A GREAT
COUNTRY VOICE.
IN MY OPINION YOU CHOSE THE
WRONG SONG TONIGHT.
NO, NO, NO.
I TOTALLY DISAGREE.
YOUR VOICE IS FEROCIOUS AND I
LOVE IT.
- YES!
- THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A
- REALLY BIG MOMENT.
- NO.
USE THAT ENERGY FOR GOOD.
MUSIC BECOMES A SOUNDTRACK TO
OUR LIVES.
WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A FREE
STYLE RAP OUT OF THE WORDS TERRY
MIXED UP.
YOU'RE INSPIRATIONAL,
UNIQUE, AUTHENTIC.
♪ I GOT BALANCE ♪
♪ LET ME SHOW YOU WHY "AMERICA'S
- GOT TALENT" ♪
- I COULD HEAR HOW
NERVOUS YOU WERE.
HEIDI, YOU CHOSE THE WORD
- INSPIRE.
- IT MADE ME LIKE YOU
EVEN MORE.
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
INSPIRE.
SOMEBODY GET ME A COCKTAIL.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU
GUYS BUT I'M STARVING.
WANT TO GET SOMETHING
TO EAT?
- I'LL PAY.
- DID YOU SAY YOU'LL
- PAY?
- WE LOVE THE DANCING,
CHOREOGRAPHY, BUT THE VOCALS
NEED MORE FINESSING.
WHAT'S THE BUZZER
- ABOUT MAN?
- YOU GOT TO HIT SOME OF
THE NOTES.
THEY WERE REALLY OFF.
I DON'T THINK TONIGHT
WAS YOUR NIGHT.
LOOK AT MY TWITTER.
DOES ANYBODY READ JAPANESE?
OH, MY GOD.
THEY'RE ALL SAYING WE LOVE YOU
- HOWIE, RIGHT?
- IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
YOU'RE 19 YEARS OLD AND YOU HAVE
SUCH DEDICATION.
THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT YOU THAT MAKES PEOPLE LOVE
- YOU.
- IT'S HIS TALENT.
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE LOVE HIM.
THE SONG CHOICE WAS EXCELLENT.
ED SHEERAN SHOULD GIVE
YOU A CALL AND YOU SHOULD DO
- THAT LIVE ON STAGE.
- I APPRECIATE THAT A
LOT.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
YOU SO DESERVE IT.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE A PERFORMER?
YEAH.
I'M NOT A TOUGH GUY.
I SOUND LIKE CAT WILLIAMS, BUT I
LOOK LIKE I WOULD NAME MY CAT
WILLIAM.
YOU KNOW HOW IT IS TO BE A THUG
WHEN YOU WERE RAISED DOWN THE
STREET FROM DISNEYLAND.
YOU THINK SOMEBODY IS WORRIED
- ABOUT YOU.
- YOUR COMEDY IS
- ORIGINAL TO YOU.
- YOU'RE AMERICA'S WILD
CARD.
YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT FOR A
- REASON.
- SO FASCINATING.
IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN THE
AUDITION.
ONE OF THE MOST
ASTONISHINGLY, BRILLIANT,
CREATIVE ACTS WE'VE SEEN ON THE
LIVE SHOW.
YOU MIGHT SURPRISE US ALL AT THE
END OF THIS YEAR.
I WAS WONDERING IF
THAT CHOICE OF A SONG WAS A
LITTLE MORE CABARET.
I MIGHT HAVE CHOSEN SOMETHING
- BIGGER.
- I LOVE THE SONG.
IT SHOWED YOUR AMAZING RANGE
THAT YOU HAVE.
IT FEELS LIKE A DREAM.
IT'S WORTH IT TO BE YOU AND
- NOTHING BUT.
- I REALLY LOVE THIS ACT
BECAUSE I HATE IT AT THE SAME
TIME.
KUDOS TO THE LADY FOR
STAYING ON THAT SPINNING THING.
SIMON, YOU WERE ON
YOUR FEET.
BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO
RUN OUT.
THIS IS A VEGAS ACT, NO
QUESTION.
OH, MY GOD THAT SMELLS
- DELICIOUS.
- THAT'S YOURS.
- THAT'S MINE.
- WHERE'S MINE?
THAT WAS THE MOST
EXCITING ABOUT OF THE NIGHT.
THE ENERGY, THE
DANGER, IT WAS FABULOUS.
THIS MADE ME FEEL
AMAZING.
I COULD SEE HOW MUCH YOU WANT
THIS FOR YOURSELVES.
THAT'S WHAT I CALL A TEN.
THAT WAS A MOMENT.
- THANK YOU.
- WE HAVE NEVER SEEN
YO-YO DONE TO THE LEVEL YOU'RE
DOING IT.
YOU ARE A TRUE WORLD
CHAMPION.
YOU'VE GIVEN YOURSELF A SHOT TO
BE IN THE FINALS.
THAT'S MY BEST MOMENT IN MY
LIFE EVER.
DID YOU SEE HOW CLOSE
THE YO-YO CAME?
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE
LAST ONE IS COMING UP.
THAT WAS AS GOOD AS IT
GETS.
THIS IS THE PERFORMANCE THAT
CHANGES THE WORLD.
36 WOMEN DANCING AT
ONCE.
- IT'S MAGIC.
- THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING
I'VE EVER SEEN.
THAT WAS THE BEST
PERFORMANCE.
- PERFECTION.
- WOW!
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER WORDS.
WHAT AN ENDING.
AMERICA, PLEASE
WELCOME YOUR 11 ACTS.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK.
ONE OF THESE ACTS COULD BE THE
ULTIMATE WINNER.
AT THIS STAGE ONLY ONE THING IS
CERTAIN, TWO OF THEM WILL BE
BACK NEXT WEEK IN THE FINALS,
FIGHTING TO BE THE "AGT"
CHAMPION.
THE COMPETITION THIS YEAR IS
TOUGHER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN.
ONLY THE VERY BEST WILL MAKE IT.
RIGHT NOW, GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR
"AGT" JUDGES.
HOWIE MANDEL.
HEIDI KLUM.
SOFIA VERGARA.
AND SIMON COWELL.
NOW, SIMON, YOU ARE KNOWN FOR
YOUR HONESTY.
HOW HAS THIS YEAR'S FINALS
SHAPING UP COMPARED TO OTHER
YEARS?
I'M GOING TO BE HONEST
WITH YOU, TERRY.
WE ARE NOTHING WITHOUT THESE
CONTESTANTS.
FOR SOME REASON THIS CAREER
WE'RE SEEING SOME OF THE MOST
ASTONISHING LIVE PERFORMANCES
I'VE EVER SEEN.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, TERRY,
LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT.
I HAVE A FEELING, IF MY HUNCH IS
RIGHT, WE'LL END UP WITH THE
MOST INCREDIBLE FINAL, WITH THE
MOST INCREDIBLE TALENT AND IT'S
THE MOST OPEN FINAL WE'VE EVER
HAD.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU.
NOW, HOWIE, SOCIAL
MEDIA BLEW UP AFTER YOU BUZZED
TRAVIS JAPAN LAST NIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO THEIR
FANS?
YEAH, WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO SAY?
MAYBE I WAS A LITTLE
HARSH WITH THE BUZZER...
I THINK WE SHOULD ALL
BOO HOWIE.
I NEED TO SAY
SOMETHING.
I NEED TO SAY SOMETHING.
I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT
IT.
- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

- I AM AN IDIOT.
- I SAID PEOPLE OF
- JAPAN, I LOVE YOU.
- ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING
THAT, HOWIE.
- WE LOVE JAPAN AS WELL.
- YES, WE DO.
NOW, HEIDI, A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID
IT FELT LIKE THE FINALS LAST
NIGHT.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE?
I HAD A BLAST, DIDN'T
YOU?
EVERYBODY ENGAGED.
YOU COULD FEEL THE ENERGY.
I'M SURE THE PEOPLE AT HOME FELT
THE ENERGY TOO.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHO THEY
VOTED THROUGH.

YOU FOR MAKING IT THIS FAR.
TRULY THE THREE ACTS, ALL OF
YOU, YOU WERE AMAZING LAST
NIGHT, SO DESERVED.
CONTINUOUSLY I'M HOLDING MY
THUMBS FOR ALL YOU GUYS.
GOOD LUCK.
THESE ACTS ARE ONE
STEP AWAY FROM MAKING THE
FINALS.
SO THE STAKES ARE SKY HIGH
BECAUSE WINNING "AGT" CHANGES
EVERYTHING.
HERE'S "AGT" CHAMPION
BRANDON LEAKE ON HOW LIFE
CHANGED FOR HIM.
I REMIND MYSELF OF THE
JOURNEY I TOOK ON "AGT."
IT INSPIRES ME BECAUSE FROM
WHERE I WAS TO WHERE I ELEVATED
- TO, A DRAMATIC CHANGE.
- THE WINNER IS BRANDON
LEAKE.
IT HELPS ME ELEVATE MY GAME.
REALLY ELEVATED MY ART TO WHAT
IT IS NOW.
BEING AN "AGT" CHAMPION IS THE
DEDICATION AND WORK TO BE GREAT.
WHAT MOTIVATES US ALL IS THE
HOPE TO INSPIRE ANOTHER YOUNG
PERSON TO CHASE AFTER THEIR
DREAMS.
HEY, BRANDON.
HEY, BUDDY.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR
THE RIDE, BRANDON.
ANY TIME.
I MEAN I DO OWE YOU FOR THAT
GOLDEN BUZZER.
I REMEMBER BEING BLOWN AWAY
AT THE END OF YOUR FIRST POEM
AND REALIZING IT WAS ABOUT YOUR
SISTER.
I DON'T THINK YOU REALIZE HOW
MUCH YOU INSPIRED ME EVEN BEFORE
THE SHOW.
WHEN PEOPLE SHOW UP ON OUR
SHOW, IT'S FOR A DREAM.
YOU KIND OF ARE AN EXAMPLE OF
DREAMS COMING TRUE.
YEAH.
JUST KNOWING THE LEVEL OF
COMPETITION THAT'S STEPPING UP
RIGHT NOW, I KNOW IF I WAS ON
THIS YEAR'S FINALS, I WOULD
PROBABLY BE SWEATING A WHOLE
LOT.
BRANDON, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
LOVE THE KIA.
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.
FOOTBALL IS BACK.
WATCH THE BUFFALO BILLS TAKE ON
THE DEFENDING SUPER BOWL
CHAMPION L.A. RAMS IN THE NFL
KICKOFF GAME TOMORROW ON NBC AND
PEACOCK.
ALL RIGHT.
WE NOW KNOW THIS WEEK'S TOP
THREE.
GIVE IT UP FOR KRISTY SELLARS,
THE MAYYAS AND MERVANT VERA.
ONLY TWO OF THEM CAN GO INTO THE
FINALS.
THIS IS MAKE OR BREAK.
LET'S DO IT.
AMERICA HAS VOTED.
THE FIRST ACT GOING INTO THE
FINALS IS...
THE MAYYAS!
SOFIA, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY
TO THEM?
- YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER.
- I AM NO SURPRISED THAT
THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE THESE
GIRLS HAVE DONE SUCH AN AMAZING
JOB.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO
VOTED FOR US.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE YOU
GAVE US.
THANK YOU, SOFIA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- WE LOVE YOU.
- ALL RIGHT, MAYYAS,
WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN IN THE
FINALS.
GIVE IT UP FOR THE MAYYAS!
YOU DID IT.
YOU DID IT.
TWO ACTS LEFT FOR ONE SPOT IN
THE FINALS.
KRISTY SELLARS AND MERVANT VERA.
AMERICA HAS VOTED.
THE SECOND ACT GOING INTO THE
FINALS IS...
KRISTY SELLARS!
MERVANT, YOU'VE BEEN AWESOME,
MAN.
ONE MORE TIME FOR MERVANT VERA.
KRISTY, YOU ARE IN THE FINALS.
HOW DOES THAT FEEL?
I DID NOT EXPECT THAT.
SORRY ABOUT THIS.
HOWIE, WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO SAY?
I WANT TO SAY, KRISTY,
YOU ARE THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF
WHAT THIS FINALS IS GOING TO BE.
YOU ARE SHOWING US THINGS DONE
IN A WAY WE'VE NEVER SEEN
BEFORE, WITH SO MUCH
ORIGINALITY, SO MUCH... IT'S
GOING TO BE THE MOST EXCITING,
MOST EMPOWERING FINALS I'VE EVER
SEEN.
- I'M HOLDING ON TO MY THUMBS.
- THE MAYYAS AND KRISTY
SELLARS ARE THROUGH TO NEXT
WEEK'S FINALS.
THEY'LL BE JOINING AVERY DIXON,
DRAKE MILLIGAN, CHAPEL HART.
SARAH JANE, ME THAT PHYSIC AND
MIKE E. WINFIELD.
THERE'S ONE MORE NAME TO ADD TO
THAT LINEUP.
THAT LINEUP.
IT'S THE WINNER OF TONIGHT'S
WE ARE JUST ONE WEEK
FROM FINDING OUT WHO IS GOING TO
BE THE "AGT" CHAMPION.
AND AS PART OF THEIR BRAND NEW
DREAM LIFE, THEY'LL BE JOINING
OUR SPECTACULAR VEGAS SHOW.
IT'S "AGT LAS VEGAS LIVE."
IT'S AT THE LUXOR, AND IT IS A
BIG HIT.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW AND,
MORE IMPORTANTLY, TO GET YOUR
TICKETS.
WE STILL HAVE THE INSTANT SAVE
VOTE TO COME TONIGHT.
THIS YEAR WITH NINE ACTS GOING
HOME THIS WEEK, THE TENSION HAS
GONE TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
- CHECK IT OUT.
- THIS SEASON THERE ARE
MORE STARS SHINING BRIGHTER THAN
IN ANY SEASON PRIOR.
INSTEAD OF HAVING 33,
WE'VE HAD 55.
THE STAKES ARE HIGHER
THAN THEY'VE EVER BEEN.
THE DOWNSIDE IS YOU
LOSE NINE ACTS A NIGHT.
THE UPSIDE IS THERE'S DIFFERENT
ENERGY IN THE AIR.
- WAY MORE COMPETITIVE.
- IT'S GREAT.
NOW THEY'RE NOT HOLDING BACK.
THEY HAVE TO UP THEIR GAME EVERY
- TIME.
- THE PRESSURE, THE
- NERVES ARE PALPABLE.
- I THINK SOME PEOPLE
HAVE REALLY MESSED UP TONIGHT
BECAUSE OF NERVES.
IT FEELS LIKE A FINALE
EVERY WEEK.
- I'M SO EXCITED.
- YOU FEEL FOR THEM.
THE CUTS ARE
DISASTROUS.
I GET REALLY NERVOUS.
I'M ACTUALLY ON THE END OF MY
- SEAT.
- I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT'S
ON THAT CARD.
I DON'T KNOW WHO AMERICA VOTED
- FOR.
- THE ACT GOING INTO THE
- FINALS IS... CHAPEL HART.
- THE ENERGY IS LIKE
AWESOME, THROUGH THE ROOF.
YOU LOOK OVER AND THERE'S
- SOMEONE ELSE IN TEARS.
- FORTUNATELY AS IT
STANDS, AMERICA, I BELIEVE, HAS
GOT IT RIGHT.
AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE'S
ONLY ONE WINNER.
WHATEVER HAPPENS THIS YEAR, I
CAN GUARANTEE IT WILL BE A
BETTER FINAL.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
THERE IS STILL ONE
SPOT OPEN IN THOSE FINALS.
YOU'LL DECIDE WHICH ACT GETS IT
WITH TONIGHT'S INSTANT SAVE
VOTE.
FIRST, I'LL ASK EACH OF THE
JUDGES TO PUT FORWARD AN ACT
WHICH DIDN'T GET THROUGH TO THE
FINALS AND THEN YOU'LL VOTE FOR
YOUR FAVORITE AND WHOEVER WINS
WILL BE HERE IN THE FINALS.
HERE WE GO.
SIMON, WHO ARE YOU PUTTING
FORWARD AS YOUR WILD CARD ACT
- AND WHY?
- WE HAD TO MAKE THE
DECISION VERY QUICKLY TAKEN INTO
ACCOUNT WHAT HAPPENED LAST
NIGHT.
THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE.
I WENT WITH THE ACT WHO I LOVED
THEIR AUDITION.
I LOVED WHEN WE SAW THEM ON THE
LIVE SHOW FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
I THINK THEY'LL MAKE THE MOST
AMAZING ADDITION TO THE FINALS
THIS YEAR.
IT'S THE PLAYERS CHOIR.
PLAYERS CHOIR.
WOW.
SOFIA, WHO IS YOUR WILD CARD ACT
AND WHY?
THE VENTRILOQUIST
BECAUSE I THINK SHE DESERVES TO
BE HERE BECAUSE I THINK HER
TALENT IS VERY SPECTACULAR AND
- SHE'S VERY CREATIVE.

- WILD CARD AND WHY?

GOLDEN BUZZER.

LAST WEEK SHE CAME IN THIRD.
SHE WAS VERY CLOSE.

WILD CARD AND WHY?
DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU
NOW?
- YEAH.

HEAD.

AND SINGERS, DANCERS AND
EVERYBODY ARE WELCOME.
YOU CAN SEE SINGERS AND DANCERS
ON OTHER SHOWS.
- HOWIE?
- DON McMILLAN AND LET
ME TELL YOU WHY.
BECAUSE HE'S A COMEDIAN,
- LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE.

IT IS A PLUG.
LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE
AND I THINK THAT'S THE MEDICINE
AMERICA NEEDS TODAY.
WE NEED SOMEONE FUNNY.
VOTE FOR DON McMILLAN.
SIMON, DO YOU FEEL
COMPETITIVE?
I DO.
TERRY, YOU'RE ALSO IN SPORTS.
SPORTS PEOPLE ARE COMPETITIVE.
WE WANT PEOPLE THAT ARE

I TOTALLY DISAGREE.
YOUR VOICE IS FEROCIOUS AND I
LOVE IT.
- YES!
- THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A
- REALLY BIG MOMENT.
- NO.
USE THAT ENERGY FOR GOOD.
MUSIC BECOMES A SOUNDTRACK TO
OUR LIVES.
WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A FREE
STYLE RAP OUT OF THE WORDS TERRY
MIXED UP.
YOU'RE INSPIRATIONAL,
UNIQUE, AUTHENTIC.
♪ I GOT BALANCE ♪
♪ LET ME SHOW YOU WHY "AMERICA'S
- GOT TALENT" ♪
- I COULD HEAR HOW
NERVOUS YOU WERE.
HEIDI, YOU CHOSE THE WORD
- INSPIRE.
- IT MADE ME LIKE YOU
EVEN MORE.
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
INSPIRE.
SOMEBODY GET ME A COCKTAIL.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU
GUYS BUT I'M STARVING.
WANT TO GET SOMETHING
TO EAT?
- I'LL PAY.
- DID YOU SAY YOU'LL
- PAY?
- WE LOVE THE DANCING,
CHOREOGRAPHY, BUT THE VOCALS
NEED MORE FINESSING.
WHAT'S THE BUZZER
- ABOUT MAN?
- YOU GOT TO HIT SOME OF
THE NOTES.
THEY WERE REALLY OFF.
I DON'T THINK TONIGHT
WAS YOUR NIGHT.
LOOK AT MY TWITTER.
DOES ANYBODY READ JAPANESE?
OH, MY GOD.
THEY'RE ALL SAYING WE LOVE YOU
- HOWIE, RIGHT?
- IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
YOU'RE 19 YEARS OLD AND YOU HAVE
SUCH DEDICATION.
THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT YOU THAT MAKES PEOPLE LOVE
- YOU.
- IT'S HIS TALENT.
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE LOVE HIM.
THE SONG CHOICE WAS EXCELLENT.
ED SHEERAN SHOULD GIVE
YOU A CALL AND YOU SHOULD DO
- THAT LIVE ON STAGE.
- I APPRECIATE THAT A
LOT.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
YOU SO DESERVE IT.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE A PERFORMER?
YEAH.
I'M NOT A TOUGH GUY.
I SOUND LIKE CAT WILLIAMS, BUT I
LOOK LIKE I WOULD NAME MY CAT
WILLIAM.
YOU KNOW HOW IT IS TO BE A THUG
WHEN YOU WERE RAISED DOWN THE
STREET FROM DISNEYLAND.
YOU THINK SOMEBODY IS WORRIED
- ABOUT YOU.
- YOUR COMEDY IS
- ORIGINAL TO YOU.
- YOU'RE AMERICA'S WILD
CARD.
YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT FOR A
- REASON.
- SO FASCINATING.
IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN THE
AUDITION.
ONE OF THE MOST
ASTONISHINGLY, BRILLIANT,
CREATIVE ACTS WE'VE SEEN ON THE
LIVE SHOW.
YOU MIGHT SURPRISE US ALL AT THE
END OF THIS YEAR.
I WAS WONDERING IF
THAT CHOICE OF A SONG WAS A
LITTLE MORE CABARET.
I MIGHT HAVE CHOSEN SOMETHING
- BIGGER.
- I LOVE THE SONG.
IT SHOWED YOUR AMAZING RANGE
THAT YOU HAVE.
IT FEELS LIKE A DREAM.
IT'S WORTH IT TO BE YOU AND
- NOTHING BUT.
- I REALLY LOVE THIS ACT
BECAUSE I HATE IT AT THE SAME
TIME.
KUDOS TO THE LADY FOR
STAYING ON THAT SPINNING THING.
SIMON, YOU WERE ON
YOUR FEET.
BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO
RUN OUT.
THIS IS A VEGAS ACT, NO
QUESTION.
OH, MY GOD THAT SMELLS
- DELICIOUS.
- THAT'S YOURS.
- THAT'S MINE.
- WHERE'S MINE?
THAT WAS THE MOST
EXCITING ABOUT OF THE NIGHT.
THE ENERGY, THE
DANGER, IT WAS FABULOUS.
THIS MADE ME FEEL
AMAZING.
I COULD SEE HOW MUCH YOU WANT
THIS FOR YOURSELVES.
THAT'S WHAT I CALL A TEN.
THAT WAS A MOMENT.
- THANK YOU.
- WE HAVE NEVER SEEN
YO-YO DONE TO THE LEVEL YOU'RE
DOING IT.
YOU ARE A TRUE WORLD
CHAMPION.
YOU'VE GIVEN YOURSELF A SHOT TO
BE IN THE FINALS.
THAT'S MY BEST MOMENT IN MY
LIFE EVER.
DID YOU SEE HOW CLOSE
THE YO-YO CAME?
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE
LAST ONE IS COMING UP.
THAT WAS AS GOOD AS IT
GETS.
THIS IS THE PERFORMANCE THAT
CHANGES THE WORLD.
36 WOMEN DANCING AT
ONCE.
- IT'S MAGIC.
- THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING
I'VE EVER SEEN.
THAT WAS THE BEST
PERFORMANCE.
- PERFECTION.
- WOW!
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER WORDS.
WHAT AN ENDING.
AMERICA, PLEASE
WELCOME YOUR 11 ACTS.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK.
ONE OF THESE ACTS COULD BE THE
ULTIMATE WINNER.
AT THIS STAGE ONLY ONE THING IS
CERTAIN, TWO OF THEM WILL BE
BACK NEXT WEEK IN THE FINALS,
FIGHTING TO BE THE "AGT"
CHAMPION.
THE COMPETITION THIS YEAR IS
TOUGHER THAN IT'S EVER BEEN.
ONLY THE VERY BEST WILL MAKE IT.
RIGHT NOW, GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR
"AGT" JUDGES.
HOWIE MANDEL.
HEIDI KLUM.
SOFIA VERGARA.
AND SIMON COWELL.
NOW, SIMON, YOU ARE KNOWN FOR
YOUR HONESTY.
HOW HAS THIS YEAR'S FINALS
SHAPING UP COMPARED TO OTHER
YEARS?
I'M GOING TO BE HONEST
WITH YOU, TERRY.
WE ARE NOTHING WITHOUT THESE
CONTESTANTS.
FOR SOME REASON THIS CAREER
WE'RE SEEING SOME OF THE MOST
ASTONISHING LIVE PERFORMANCES
I'VE EVER SEEN.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, TERRY,
LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT.
I HAVE A FEELING, IF MY HUNCH IS
RIGHT, WE'LL END UP WITH THE
MOST INCREDIBLE FINAL, WITH THE
MOST INCREDIBLE TALENT AND IT'S
THE MOST OPEN FINAL WE'VE EVER
HAD.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU.
NOW, HOWIE, SOCIAL
MEDIA BLEW UP AFTER YOU BUZZED
TRAVIS JAPAN LAST NIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO THEIR
FANS?
YEAH, WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO SAY?
MAYBE I WAS A LITTLE
HARSH WITH THE BUZZER...
I THINK WE SHOULD ALL
BOO HOWIE.
I NEED TO SAY
SOMETHING.
I NEED TO SAY SOMETHING.
I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT
IT.
- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
- IT MEANS...
- I AM AN IDIOT.
- I SAID PEOPLE OF
- JAPAN, I LOVE YOU.
- ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING
THAT, HOWIE.
- WE LOVE JAPAN AS WELL.
- YES, WE DO.
NOW, HEIDI, A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID
IT FELT LIKE THE FINALS LAST
NIGHT.
WHAT'S YOUR TAKE?
I HAD A BLAST, DIDN'T
YOU?
EVERYBODY ENGAGED.
YOU COULD FEEL THE ENERGY.
I'M SURE THE PEOPLE AT HOME FELT
THE ENERGY TOO.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHO THEY

YOU FOR MAKING IT THIS FAR.
TRULY THE THREE ACTS, ALL OF
YOU, YOU WERE AMAZING LAST
NIGHT, SO DESERVED.
CONTINUOUSLY I'M HOLDING MY
THUMBS FOR ALL YOU GUYS.
GOOD LUCK.
THESE ACTS ARE ONE
STEP AWAY FROM MAKING THE
FINALS.
SO THE STAKES ARE SKY HIGH
BECAUSE WINNING "AGT" CHANGES
EVERYTHING.
HERE'S "AGT" CHAMPION
BRANDON LEAKE ON HOW LIFE
CHANGED FOR HIM.
I REMIND MYSELF OF THE
JOURNEY I TOOK ON "AGT."
IT INSPIRES ME BECAUSE FROM
WHERE I WAS TO WHERE I ELEVATED
- TO, A DRAMATIC CHANGE.
- THE WINNER IS BRANDON
LEAKE.
IT HELPS ME ELEVATE MY GAME.
REALLY ELEVATED MY ART TO WHAT
IT IS NOW.
BEING AN "AGT" CHAMPION IS THE
DEDICATION AND WORK TO BE GREAT.
WHAT MOTIVATES US ALL IS THE
HOPE TO INSPIRE ANOTHER YOUNG
PERSON TO CHASE AFTER THEIR
DREAMS.
HEY, BRANDON.
HEY, BUDDY.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR
THE RIDE, BRANDON.
ANY TIME.
I MEAN I DO OWE YOU FOR THAT
GOLDEN BUZZER.
I REMEMBER BEING BLOWN AWAY
AT THE END OF YOUR FIRST POEM
AND REALIZING IT WAS ABOUT YOUR
SISTER.
I DON'T THINK YOU REALIZE HOW
MUCH YOU INSPIRED ME EVEN BEFORE
THE SHOW.
WHEN PEOPLE SHOW UP ON OUR
SHOW, IT'S FOR A DREAM.
YOU KIND OF ARE AN EXAMPLE OF
DREAMS COMING TRUE.
YEAH.
JUST KNOWING THE LEVEL OF
COMPETITION THAT'S STEPPING UP
RIGHT NOW, I KNOW IF I WAS ON
THIS YEAR'S FINALS, I WOULD
PROBABLY BE SWEATING A WHOLE
LOT.
BRANDON, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
LOVE THE KIA.
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.
FOOTBALL IS BACK.
WATCH THE BUFFALO BILLS TAKE ON
THE DEFENDING SUPER BOWL
CHAMPION L.A. RAMS IN THE NFL
KICKOFF GAME TOMORROW ON NBC AND
PEACOCK.
ALL RIGHT.
WE NOW KNOW THIS WEEK'S TOP
THREE.
GIVE IT UP FOR KRISTY SELLARS,
THE MAYYAS AND MERVANT VERA.
ONLY TWO OF THEM CAN GO INTO THE
FINALS.
THIS IS MAKE OR BREAK.
LET'S DO IT.
AMERICA HAS VOTED.
THE FIRST ACT GOING INTO THE
FINALS IS...
THE MAYYAS!
SOFIA, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY
TO THEM?
- YOUR GOLDEN BUZZER.
- I AM NO SURPRISED THAT
THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE THESE
GIRLS HAVE DONE SUCH AN AMAZING
JOB.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO
VOTED FOR US.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE YOU
GAVE US.
THANK YOU, SOFIA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- WE LOVE YOU.
- ALL RIGHT, MAYYAS,
WE'LL SEE YOU AGAIN IN THE
FINALS.
GIVE IT UP FOR THE MAYYAS!
YOU DID IT.
YOU DID IT.
TWO ACTS LEFT FOR ONE SPOT IN
THE FINALS.
KRISTY SELLARS AND MERVANT VERA.
AMERICA HAS VOTED.
THE SECOND ACT GOING INTO THE
FINALS IS...
KRISTY SELLARS!
MERVANT, YOU'VE BEEN AWESOME,
MAN.
ONE MORE TIME FOR MERVANT VERA.
KRISTY, YOU ARE IN THE FINALS.
HOW DOES THAT FEEL?
I DID NOT EXPECT THAT.
SORRY ABOUT THIS.
HOWIE, WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO SAY?
I WANT TO SAY, KRISTY,
YOU ARE THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF
WHAT THIS FINALS IS GOING TO BE.
YOU ARE SHOWING US THINGS DONE
IN A WAY WE'VE NEVER SEEN
BEFORE, WITH SO MUCH
ORIGINALITY, SO MUCH... IT'S
GOING TO BE THE MOST EXCITING,
MOST EMPOWERING FINALS I'VE EVER
SEEN.
- I'M HOLDING ON TO MY THUMBS.
- THE MAYYAS AND KRISTY
SELLARS ARE THROUGH TO NEXT
WEEK'S FINALS.
THEY'LL BE JOINING AVERY DIXON,
DRAKE MILLIGAN, CHAPEL HART.
SARAH JANE, ME THAT PHYSIC AND
MIKE E. WINFIELD.
THERE'S ONE MORE NAME TO ADD TO
THAT LINEUP.
THAT LINEUP.
IT'S THE WINNER OF TONIGHT'S
WE ARE JUST ONE WEEK
FROM FINDING OUT WHO IS GOING TO
BE THE "AGT" CHAMPION.
AND AS PART OF THEIR BRAND NEW
DREAM LIFE, THEY'LL BE JOINING
OUR SPECTACULAR VEGAS SHOW.
IT'S "AGT LAS VEGAS LIVE."
IT'S AT THE LUXOR, AND IT IS A
BIG HIT.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW AND,
MORE IMPORTANTLY, TO GET YOUR
TICKETS.
WE STILL HAVE THE INSTANT SAVE
VOTE TO COME TONIGHT.
THIS YEAR WITH NINE ACTS GOING
HOME THIS WEEK, THE TENSION HAS
GONE TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
- CHECK IT OUT.
- THIS SEASON THERE ARE
MORE STARS SHINING BRIGHTER THAN
IN ANY SEASON PRIOR.
INSTEAD OF HAVING 33,
WE'VE HAD 55.
THE STAKES ARE HIGHER
THAN THEY'VE EVER BEEN.
THE DOWNSIDE IS YOU
LOSE NINE ACTS A NIGHT.
THE UPSIDE IS THERE'S DIFFERENT
ENERGY IN THE AIR.
- WAY MORE COMPETITIVE.
- IT'S GREAT.
NOW THEY'RE NOT HOLDING BACK.
THEY HAVE TO UP THEIR GAME EVERY
- TIME.
- THE PRESSURE, THE
- NERVES ARE PALPABLE.
- I THINK SOME PEOPLE
HAVE REALLY MESSED UP TONIGHT
BECAUSE OF NERVES.
IT FEELS LIKE A FINALE
EVERY WEEK.
- I'M SO EXCITED.
- YOU FEEL FOR THEM.
THE CUTS ARE
DISASTROUS.
I GET REALLY NERVOUS.
I'M ACTUALLY ON THE END OF MY
- SEAT.
- I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT'S
ON THAT CARD.
I DON'T KNOW WHO AMERICA VOTED
- FOR.
- THE ACT GOING INTO THE
- FINALS IS... CHAPEL HART.
- THE ENERGY IS LIKE
AWESOME, THROUGH THE ROOF.
YOU LOOK OVER AND THERE'S
- SOMEONE ELSE IN TEARS.
- FORTUNATELY AS IT
STANDS, AMERICA, I BELIEVE, HAS
GOT IT RIGHT.
AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE'S
ONLY ONE WINNER.
WHATEVER HAPPENS THIS YEAR, I
CAN GUARANTEE IT WILL BE A
BETTER FINAL.
THAT'S FOR SURE.
THERE IS STILL ONE
SPOT OPEN IN THOSE FINALS.
YOU'LL DECIDE WHICH ACT GETS IT
WITH TONIGHT'S INSTANT SAVE
VOTE.
FIRST, I'LL ASK EACH OF THE
JUDGES TO PUT FORWARD AN ACT
WHICH DIDN'T GET THROUGH TO THE
FINALS AND THEN YOU'LL VOTE FOR
YOUR FAVORITE AND WHOEVER WINS
WILL BE HERE IN THE FINALS.
HERE WE GO.
SIMON, WHO ARE YOU PUTTING
FORWARD AS YOUR WILD CARD ACT
- AND WHY?
- WE HAD TO MAKE THE
DECISION VERY QUICKLY TAKEN INTO
ACCOUNT WHAT HAPPENED LAST
NIGHT.
THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE.
I WENT WITH THE ACT WHO I LOVED
THEIR AUDITION.
I LOVED WHEN WE SAW THEM ON THE
LIVE SHOW FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
I THINK THEY'LL MAKE THE MOST
AMAZING ADDITION TO THE FINALS
THIS YEAR.
IT'S THE PLAYERS CHOIR.
PLAYERS CHOIR.
WOW.
SOFIA, WHO IS YOUR WILD CARD ACT
AND WHY?
THE VENTRILOQUIST
BECAUSE I THINK SHE DESERVES TO
BE HERE BECAUSE I THINK HER
TALENT IS VERY SPECTACULAR AND
- SHE'S VERY CREATIVE.

GOLDEN BUZZER.

WILD CARD AND WHY?
DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU
NOW?
- YEAH.

HEAD.

EVERYBODY ARE WELCOME.
YOU CAN SEE SINGERS AND DANCERS
ON OTHER SHOWS.
- HOWIE?
- DON McMILLAN AND LET
ME TELL YOU WHY.
BECAUSE HE'S A COMEDIAN,
- LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE.

IT IS A PLUG.
LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE
AND I THINK THAT'S THE MEDICINE
AMERICA NEEDS TODAY.
WE NEED SOMEONE FUNNY.
VOTE FOR DON McMILLAN.
SIMON, DO YOU FEEL
COMPETITIVE?
I DO.
TERRY, YOU'RE ALSO IN SPORTS.
SPORTS PEOPLE ARE COMPETITIVE.
WE WANT PEOPLE THAT ARE
- COMPETITIVE.
- THAT'S RIGHT.
DON McMILLAN CAME IN THIRD.
- HE MISSED BY 2%.

VOTE.
IT'S BETWEEN PLAYERS CHOIR,
CELIA MUNOZ, DON McMILLAN AND
LILY MEOLA.
YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES.
VOTING STARTS NOW.
VOTE ONLINE OR ON THE APP AND
