walk out on that stage,
I'm going to take a deep breath,
and do what I was meant to do.

and better, and better.
I'm gonna

- Right.
- Yeah.
- Okay,
and what's the big dream?
Tell me.
- Honestly, like, my own show
in Vegas is the goal.
I'm from New Zealand.
We don't get a lot
of opportunity, sadly.
And, um, now I'm in,
you know, this big place.
Hopefully this is,
you know, where I could start.

- When you said
you were gonna tap dance,
I think that everybody said,
"Oh, we know what to expect."
We have not seen
anything like you.
You are more than just a dancer,
you are an entertainer,
you please the crowd.
You're a show.
I loved it.
- Wow, Heidi?
- I loved it too.
I love your dancing.
I think you have
an amazing personality.
I could watch you all day.
I had the best time.
- You deserve to be performing
somewhere professionally.
You soon gonna be where
you want to be in your career.
- Thank you.
- I know absolutely zero
about tap dancing.
All I do know,
it's quite interesting,
is that you
really undersold yourself.
It was like, "Yeah,
yeah, I got on a flight."
You guys scared me.
- Is this really something
you really want?
- As I said, there's not many
opportunities in New Zealand.
I just want to tap dance like
this for people like you guys.
You know, like, this is a dream.
I just want to do this.
- Okay, all right,
we're gonna vote.
Howie?
- Yes.
- Thank you.

It was sexy.
- Ah!
- For me, this is one of those
auditions I'll never forget.

to get one step closer
to headlining

- Wow.

- Okay.
- And where are you from?
- I'm from the Freckled Forest.
- Okay.
- Of course.
- Simon, have you noticed
this crazy instrument
around my neck?
- No, tell me about it.
- It's an ocarina.
It's a very unique instrument.
Not a lot
of people know about it.
- Never heard of it.
- It looks like a heart.
- I'd say it's more
of the shape of a potato.
- Okay.
- Oh.
- It's also known
as a sweet potato flute.
- Great.
Well, you're interesting.
Good luck.
- Thank you, Simon.

Simon, what did you think?
- I tell you what,
when you walked out, I thought,
this really is going
to be terrible.
- Aw.
- I did.
And actually,
you've got a really good voice.
Thank you, Simon.
- I mean, you know,
I don't like the instrument,
don't think it's necessary.
Carry on looking
like that if you want
because you're interesting.
- Thank you so much.
- Sofía, what did you think?
- I actually thought
when you started singing
that beautiful song,
it was really unexpected.
And your voice is beautiful too.
- Thank you.
- Can I ask something?
Do you want to sing always
with the outfit?
- Yes.
- Good for you.
- I'm 100% a fairy.
- Okay, so you are...
This is who you are?
- This is me.
- You're never gonna change.
- Never ever.
- You don't have to.
- A fairy
for the rest of my life.
- I love that.
- Heidi?
- You nailed that.
I loved it.
- Thank you, Heidi.
- You have an amazing voice,
and I thought the potato flute
was really cool too.
And I love that you
are unique and different.
"America's Got Talent"
is a variety show...
- Yes.
- And we don't all have
to look the same.
I think you're great.
- Thank you.
- I liked it too.
You showed us who you are
through your voice,
and your being.
So I would like to start off
with the first yes.
Sofía?
- Yes.
- Heidi?
- It's a big fat yes from me.
- Yes, Heidi!
- Simon?
- Yes.
- ♪ Don't let
the sun go down on me ♪
- Yeah, good for you!
Yes!
- ♪ It's always someone
else I see ♪
- Thank you guys so much.
- ♪ I'd just allow
a fragment of your life ♪

- Hey, y'all got this.
Y'all got this.
- Can we just do self-
affirmations in the mirror?
- Yes.
- Look in the mirror.
Do you think we look good?
- Let's do this.
Brrr, brrr, brrr, mah!
- Yes, you can do it.
- You look great.
Hello, Simon... no.
- You got this, Debbii.
You got this, Debbii.
- Hey, Howie.
- Sofía, you're looking lovely.
- Heidi laughing...
I get 'em all.
- Let's go.
Hello, Simon, hello.
- What's your name?
- My name is Max.
- Max.
And what are you gonna do today?
- Magic.
- Magic!
Well, listen,
it's a pleasure to meet you.
All right, go right ahead.
- Good evening!
- Hello.
- Hi.
- How are you?
What's your name?
- My name is Maxence.
- Hi, Maxence.
That's French.
- Maxence.
- Yes, I'm French from Paris.
- Oh, wow.
And how old are you?
- 32 years old.
- And what do you do?
What do you...
- Magic.
- Oh, magic.
- Hey, we love magic.
- How long have
you been doing magic?
- I started
when I was ten years old.
I saw a magician
in Chambéry make amazing trick
with my hands.
My brain is, "Boom".
And I say, I would like to be
a magician, and I'm here.
- This is the dream, right?
To be here in America,
to do well,
and maybe win this thing,
and then...
- Magic is my life
- Aww.
- Go ahead, show us the magic.
- Of course.
Okay, today, America,
I will show you three things.
One prediction, one appearance,
and a final impossible.
But to begin, I need your
credit card, please, Howie.
Credit card?
- Sofía, could you
sign this envelope for me?
Do you have a marker?
It's okay.
I have one.
- Oh, eww.
- I have another one.
- Okay, that's clean?
- Please sign on it, please.
- A sign of what?
- Whatever you want.
- A heart?
- Yes, of course.
- It's beautiful, huh?
- Beautiful.
Now it's a unique envelope, yes?
- Yes.
- And your credit, please.
- Oh, my credit card?
- Yes.
Well...
- Thank you.
I put it inside the envelope.
It's okay for you?
- Yes, it's okay for me.
- And I close it.
Oh, stupid.
- Oh.
- Simon, could you grab it
with two finger like that?
Did you feel it inside?
The card, of course.
- Oui.
- Thank you.
Don't worry.
In case of trouble
with your credit card,
I propose to you a compensation,
a just in case box.
But please don't
open it unless I ask you.
- Okay, just in case.
- Yes, sir.
Deck of cards, yes?
- Yeah.
- This deck is
little bit special.
We have 50 to drink on it,
like for example,
coffee, red wine,
beer, lemonade, tea,
of course,
all the card are different,
blah, blah, blah, okay?
Touch any one card, but don't
watch it for this moment.
- Touch it, but don't look.
- Perfect, take it.
Thank you.
My friend, let me
introduce my mini-theater.
Behind the curtain
on the mini-stage,
I made a prediction.
Suspense.
Ladies and gentlemen,
my prediction is,
eee-ooh, a can of cola.
Heidi, for the first time,
tell me exactly
what is your card?
It's...
- It's not cola.
- It's what?
- It's milk.
- Dammit.
Uh-oh.
- You know what,
let me show you a thing.
No, no, it's better.
Let me show you this thing.
I have some paper,
numbered from one to seven.
Behind each
number we have something.
You will choose any number
between one and seven,
and I'll try
to make appear the object
which is behind your selection.
Tell me one number.
- Three.
- Are you sure?
You can do change if you want.
- No.
- If you tell me another number,
we have different object, yes?
- Yes.
- Yes.
But you told me number three,
and it's a mini-helicopter.
- Okay.
- I try to make appear.
- Okay, all right.
- I can do it.
I hope so.
By the way, ladies...
- Yes?
- This is for you.
- Thank you.
- Music maestro!
Yes!
Exactly a mini-helicopter
for you ladies.
- Wow.
How did he do that?
- But wait, wait!
I'm not finished.
Wait!
Simon, you always
have the card inside, yes?
- Always had the card.
- Let me introduce
the magic machine.
Listen to me.
Actually,
will you put the envelope
inside the magic machine.
- No, no.
- And the credit card
will be disappear.
It's amazing trick.
- No, no.
- Yes.
- No!
No.
- One.
Suspense... two, three.
- No, that's real.
It's real.
- Yes, he did it!
Give me five, Simon.
Don't worry,
you remember in case
of trouble we have
the just in case box.
- Oh, yeah.
- Open the box.
Watch inside and show it
to everyone because...
- Okay, you pull it down?
- Yes, of course.
Inside we have...
- Scissors.
- I never said
it will be your card.
- Scissor is here
for one reason.
Since the beginning
of the act we have
can of cola
completely sealed, yes?
- Yes.
- Could you open
the can for me, please?
- Be careful with your nail.
- You don't believe me,
but inside it's not cola.
- It's milk!
Exactly like your choice.
My prediction is true!
But listen, listen...
Take it and shake, shake.
You hear inside,
we have something inside.
We need to cut
the can because it's sealed.
Scissor, please.
- I like the way you say that.
- Yes, I do very slowly for you.
Dramaturgy.
Oh, my God.
Inside, we have something...
I don't want to touch...
- Watch you don't cut yourself.
- Anything, but watch.
- Oh, that's my card.
- The card.
- That's your card?
- Could you confirm... yes.
- It's got milk all over.
- Exactly your credit card.
- That's my card.
- That's... it's impossible.
- Yes.
- Wow.
- Thank you, America!

- Sofía?
- I thought
the whole thing was brilliant.
You're so funny.
The magic was also fantastic.
I loved how you
interacted with us.
I really loved this act.
- Okay, Heidi?
- It was so much fun
listening to you.
I mean, you tick all the boxes.
Funny, charming,
you can do all the magic.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
Loved what you just did.
- Thank you.
- You're not only a great
magician, you are very funny,
and you've got
some great energy.
We didn't know
where it was going,
so it made it more
surprising and fun,
and can I have a cloth
to wipe off my card?
- Just use your pants.
- No.
Simon, what did you think?
- At times, annoying...
- No!
- Unusual...
- What?
- Well, yeah.
However, the audience loved you.
And the magic was très bien.
Yeah.
- Well, let's vote.
We're gonna vote.
I'll start with Sofía.
- Yes.
- Heidi?
- Yes!
- Simon?
- Well, I think
all things considered...
Yes.

- I love him too.
- Bye!
- He made a helicopter.
- That was crazy.
- Thanks, judges.
Thanks, America!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
I'm fine, I'm fine.
- My dream is to create
my own completely unique show
up in the air, singing opera,
twirling around upside down...
Making magic onstage.
- We've been able
to attain high heights,
but there's still something
else that we're striving for.
- To get a show in Vegas,
that would be amazing, crazy.
I don't think you even dream
about that, you know,
unfathomable.
- You surprised us.
You are original.
- It was beautiful.
- Mesmerizing.
It was so elegant.
- Absolutely brilliant.
You're through
to the next round.
Congratulations.
- We are here
on "America's Got Talent."
It's a big opportunity.
It's so important for us
because it's always our dreams
to perform in Vegas
and have our own show.
We're gonna bring
everything we have.
Let's do this for Aruba.
Come on!
RCC Aruba!
- This season has been amazing.
Can you get, like, a more
complicated snack to eat?
Because, like,
next time what is it gonna be,
like a sushi
with the chopsticks?
- It's a tangerine.
- RCC Aruba,
you're up next for stage.
Are you ready?
- Yes, we are ready!
Let's do this, guys.
Let's do this!
- Good evening.
How are you?
- Hello, hello, good evening.
- Fine.
- And who are you?
- We are RCC Aruba.
- What does RCC Aruba means?
- Rhythm Circus Company.
- And what is it?
- We're gonna do
a teeterboard act
that you guys never see before.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
- I hear an accent.
Where are you from?
- We are originally from
Colombia and Cuba, but we...
- Why didn't you say that first?
- Why didn't you say it?
- Why... then why
are you called Aruba?
- Because we made Aruba
our home 20 years ago.
- Okay, okay.
- Oh.
- But when we came here,
it was a complete chaos for us
because we have too
many problems with our props.
Everything was,
like, loosened in Atlanta.
And just one hour ago,
we find our teeterboard,
and we have to borrow mats
and so many things
with the production,
they help us.
For a moment, we thought
that we cannot perform
because what we're
gonna do is very dangerous.
- See, this is
why... two words, carry-on.
You're right, you're right.
- Do you guys make
a living out of this act?
- Yes, we have
the best show on the island,
and now we... that's
why we came here,
because we're gonna have
the best show in the world,
and everybody see it.
- I really hope so.
Good luck tonight.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you for this opportunity.
- Thank you, thank you.

you feel really nervous

your own things, you know?

an hour before a performance.
I am so proud of you guys.

- The fact is that even if you
had your own equipment here,
it was thrilling,
it was exciting, it was edgy,
and you guys blew
my mind with this.
Unbelievable.
- Thank you.
- Heidi?
- You have to go through.
You were fantastic.
Fantastic, fantastic.
I loved it.
- Simon?
- Look, before you started,
I was kind of thinking,
oh, God, there's a plank
and a bouncy castle there.
This isn't gonna be great.
But actually the fact that
it kind of felt less kind of,
like, polished
than we normally see,
I really enjoyed that,
I thought it was really cool.
And I actually could tell
how much it means to you.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you.
- Okay, so let's vote.
- I'm gonna say yes.
- Howie?
- Yes.
- Yes!
- Heidi?

You already passed it.
You're going.

"I'm adopted.
You're white."
- That was funny.
- Um, I don't know.
Something didn't quite click
for me, I'm afraid.
- What's Simon talking about?
- Okay.
- I liked it.
I thought
it was funny, relatable.
- I liked it a lot too,
so I'm gonna give you
your first yes.
- Thank you, Heidi.
- Yes.
- I'm gonna give her
the third yes,
so it doesn't matter.
- ♪ Good vibes,
that's what I like ♪
♪ So I don't need you ♪
- Thank you.
- It was just like
chatting with a friend.
But Mr. Grumpy in his room.
- How's... how was I grumpy?
I was being happy.
- I'm doing a little
stand-up comedy tonight,
but it's got a twist on it.

- Please not a comedian.
Please.
- Hey, guys.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Who are you?
- My name is Don McMillan.
I am 62 years old,
and I'm
from Santa Clarita, California.
- Yippee!
And tell us,
what do you do for a living?
- I am a stand-up comedian.
- Ooh.
- Did you bring anyone special
with you today?
- Just my screen.
I use my screen.
- All right, well,
then you and your screen,
and all of us,
let's have
a great time together.
- All right.
So I have kind
of an interesting background,
I was an engineer
for many years.
And I know what you're thinking,
"Engineer, this guy's
gonna be really funny."
Somebody called me a geek
the other day.
I'm not a geek.
I am not a geek.
I'm a nerd.
And what's
the difference you ask?
I actually have a Venn diagram
to show you the difference.
Takes three things to be a nerd.
You have to be smart,
socially awkward, and obsessed.
Smart, socially awkward,
and obsessed,
and you are a nerd.
Geeks, on the other hand, are
really just smart and obsessed.
They're "Star Trek" geeks,
comic book geeks.
You guys get dressed up,
you go to conventions.
No nerd goes to a convention
unless I'm working IT support...
Only reason I'm there.
At the top here, if you're smart
and socially awkward,
you're a dork.
And if you're socially awkward
and obsessed, uh,
you're a stalker.
That's how that works.
- Oh!
- Because I'm a nerd,
I love charts.
I love a chart that explains
a whole thing in one chart.
Here's what's gonna happen
if you're making
microwave popcorn.
Here's the number
of edible pieces on the Y-axis,
and on the X-axis is the time.
You're at one minutes,
two minutes,
no pieces have popped,
very quiet in the microwave.
At some point above two minutes,
you don't know where,
all pieces are popped,
all pieces are burnt.
It is so weird.
- Right?
The bag is on fire,
the smoke alarm is blaring,
and your house will stink
for at least a week,
at least a week.
- That's so true.
- Some of my charts I can't
explain why they're true.
I just know from experience
this is what's gonna happen.
Here's the locker room
at my gym.
I am the blue dot.
I walk in.
I start to get changed.
The minute I get
all my clothes off,
12 guys walk in,
and this is
where their lockers are.
- That is so true.
- It defies statistics.
Sometimes,
statistics sounds scary,
but it's not when you look
at it from a different angle.
When I first got married,
I heard 44% of marriages
end in divorce.
That's a scary number.
Think about that.
40... my wife and I are like,
do we stand a chance?
Think of the other side.
If 44% of marriages end
in divorce,
you know what that means?
56% of marriages end in death.
Till death do us part.
- Those are the two ways
that marriages end, folks.
If you're married, enjoy it now.
It does not end well.
And that's it for me.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.

that way is kind of very now
because I think this is amazing.
- Thank you.
That means a lot coming
from you, Howie.
It really does.
- I know.
- I mean,
that was definitely different.
I love that you came with
your TV and all your charts,
and I mean,
you had me in stitches.
- Thank you.

your charts, you, your energy.

- I didn't get it.
Well, everyone else did.
- You laughed a little bit.

don't need all this pressure.
I was just gonna say yes.
- Thank you, Sofía.
- Three yeses.
You're moving on.
- Thank you.
Next time, Simon.
Bye-bye.
- Aww.
- Let me give you a statistic.
- Yes.
- You needed
three yeses to advance.
- That's all I needed.
- That's all you need.
- All right.

- Hey,
how's everybody doing tonight?

- Hi.
- And what's your name?
- My name is Ava Swiss.
- That's a great name,
Ava Swiss.
Is that your real name?
- My full name is
actually Ava Swieczkowski,
but Swieczkowski is
way too long, you know?
- Got it.
And where are you from, Ava?
- I'm from Oxford, Michigan.
- Okay.
How old are you?
- I'm 18.
I'm a senior
at Oxford High School.
- Okay, now I'm gonna guess...
I've been
pretty good today... singer?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- And what is the song
you've chosen and why?
- So I chose the song
"Remember" by Lauren Daigle.
- I chose the song because...
Uh, back on November 30th,
my brother and I
were a part
of the Oxford school shooting,
and we've lost four
of our students,
and seven others were injured,
one of which was a teacher.
Um...
- And how are you coping
with everything,
with life itself after that?
- It's been hard.
I mean,
I remember my brother and I,
we were talking to each other,
and we said there's no way
we were ever stepping foot
back in a school,
but we've actually been
in person in school
for about two months now,
so things are getting better.
- Wow, so...
are you telling me
that music in some form
has been kind
of like a therapy for you?
- Yeah, um,
it definitely has been.
When I sing it,
I remember the good.
I remember my community,
my family,
just the love, and I remember
that it's all there for me,
and...
it'll help me get
to where I need to be.
And so that's why
I'm so grateful I'm able
to be here today,
and I can share it
with more people
than I ever thought I could.
- Well, you're
a very special person, Ava.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Do you want some water
or anything before you start?
- I'll be good, I think.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
- We're rooting for you.
Good luck.
- She's gonna do great.
She's gonna do great.

- Sierra, Trey,
that was amazing.
I thought it was so beautiful.
It was all
about your bodies together
doing this amazing dance.
I loved it.
- There's so many dance couples
that come onto the stage,
and it's kind of the same,
the same, the same.
I feel like you guys
really brought some new moves.
I loved it.
- I'm gonna be
totally honest with you.
I love the coordination,
your synchronicity,
but I just think it
was lacking crispness for me.
It was a little
loosey-goosey at times.
- I really like you two,
but what I want to know,
was the dance a story,
or am I missing something?
- It was a story, yeah.
- In 2018,
my dad passed away unexpectedly
from a massive heart attack.
- It's okay.
- The love that I felt
from Trey the day I came back
in the studio after my dad
passed away is the same amount
of love and support I feel now,
if not even more.
- That's the thing, we always
try to be there for each other,
so in this dance,
we tried to represent that.
But it's not just
the boy lifting the girl,
it's us catching each other.
We're always there
for each other.
- Oh, you can tell.
I think it shows how close
you are when you're dancing.
You can see it.
You can feel it.
- Yeah, exactly,
but I felt more than that.
I felt
this wasn't just two people
kind of like thrown together.
They really do... I mean,
you are close friends,
You can see it.
It's amazing.
I love that.
- Beautiful.
- I love friendship.
I don't have many friends.
Would you be my friends?
- Yes, of course.
- Yes, we will be your friends.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- So we're gonna vote
for you now.
What did you think, Heidi?
- It's a yes from me, of course.
Yes!
- I love you guys.
I love you.
- Yes, thank you.
- I am gonna have to say yes.
Howie, what did you think?
- You're really good,
and there's
obviously something here,
but I don't think
you're ready for this stage.

- Okay,
what got you into this, Auzzy?
- Living in Las Vegas,
you see Fremont Street,
all the people
going out in costumes,
dressing up,
doing all the different acts,
and it was kind of like,
"I could do this."
And I love sideshow,
"Ripley's Believe It or Not!"
"Guinness Book
of World Records."
That's just something
I grew in love with.
- But you want to be main show
not sideshow, I presume.

to win just because I push

You're gonna come real close.

- I'm gonna position
the sword just like this.
- All right.
- You're gonna hold on
to the end.
- Don't push harder
than that, okay?
- Okay, all right.
- If you push harder than that,
we're probably
perforating something.

it all yourself.

that I shouldn't

so not chicken.

what would we see next?
Because I have seen that before.

- Yes.

your fourth yes.
- And now he's assisting us
on the winch.
- Hi.
- Jonathan and I have
swapped roles essentially.
For me,
it's a way for me to prove
that I'm able to perform
as my own act with Max.
- So you'll be flying
around with him,
and your husband
is operating the winch.
- Yeah.
- Sounds dangerous.
- We like to think
that it's a calculated risk.
I mean...
- And what is the dream for you?
- So if we win,
we would open our own show.
We want to be able to promote
our art to the world.
So that's the act
that we're presenting today.
- We have seen a lot
of these kinds of acts before.
Why is your one different?
- We've spent an entire year
creating all
of our own original sequences,
and also, the way
that we will perform this act,
I think
you will find it different
than ones you've seen before.
- Good.
- Good luck to you.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

That was so dangerous,
so exciting.
That was amazing.
- I loved it too.
It was like
a fighting scene in a movie.
The music,
the two of you... I loved it.
Bravo.
- Yes.
- What did you think
of the act, Simon?
- Well, yeah, I mean,
look, I like the act,
but I find their story
really interesting as well.
I just want to clear this up.
So you auditioned before
with your husband?
- Correct.
- He's the one
now pulling the rope.
Did you effectively dump
your husband for a new partner?
No, it's nothing like that.
We're really,
really, good friends
and my husband is amazing
at winch operating.
- But he's not
really part of it, is he?
Uh...
- What can he do
that your husband cannot do?
- Oh, my God.
- Ooh!
- That's where
I was sort of getting to.

I'm so, so excited.

Okay?

I'm Terry.
What's your name?
- Debbii.
- Debbii.
- Okay, here we go.
Stand by for the next act.
- Is Eric coming by tomorrow?
- Not tomorrow,
probably next week.
- I bet you he's taller.
I haven't seen him in a year.
- He now gets the show as well,
so he gets a kick out of it,
yeah.
- So what's the ultimate goal?
- Win "America's Got Talent,"
and finally come
out of my shell,
and show the world
this is what I like to do.
- I'm with you.
If you need me for anything,
just holler.
- All right, thank you.
- All right, thank you so much.
Go out there and make it happen.
- Hi.
- Hello, how are you?
- I'm good.
How are you?
- You look very confident.
- Really?
I'm so nervous.
- What's your name, please?
- Debbii Dawson.
- And where are
you from Debbii Dawson?
- I live here in LA.
- Okay, now...
Are you going to sing tonight?
- Yeah.
- How did you know?
- Been doing this a while.
- Tell me about you, Debbii.
I want to get to know you.
- Basically, music is just,
like, everything to me.
It's more than like a hobby.
It's my legacy.
- What do you mean by that?
- My grandfather,
actually, in India,
he taught himself
how to play the organ
by drawing on the concrete
with charcoal like a keyboard,
you know, taught himself,
and that's how
he taught my dad,
and my dad taught me so...
- Interesting.
So they were
professional musicians?
Yeah, so my dad immigrated
here from India.
Went to college here.
- Yeah.
- One of the practice rooms,
he heard someone playing piano,
and it was my mom...
- Cool.
- On the piano, so yeah.
They fell in love...
- Are they here today?
- No, they're not.
They couldn't make it.
- That's not a good sign.
They're in Minne...
- Don't say that!
- If the parents don't turn up,
that's not a good sign.
- Don't listen to him.
- It's a good sign.
- Well, it is.
Okay.
Would you say this is one
of the most important nights
of your life?
- Definitely yeah.
- And they're not here.
- Oh, no.
- Oh, my God.
- Okay, Debbii,
what is the dream?
- The dream would
for this not to be a dream
and for it
to just be my reality.
- Okay.
- Oh, wow.
- That's beautiful.
- Okay, well look,
this is for mom and dad
who aren't here
and for you Debbii.
Good luck.

You got this.

I would donate it to charity

people always say on this show.

I would just keep it.

you ask a lot of the acts.
- Okay, if you were a fruit...
What would you be?

if I had to answer you that
truthfully,
I would rather be a pineapple.

Come on now.
Hey, you know what they say...
An apple a day
keeps the doctor away, hey?
Well, I don't think that's too
fair for us apples, you know.
What if I, you know,
need to see a doctor?
They're all away.
They're always away.
- Get him off of there!
- Was wondering if you guys...
Is there a doctor in the house?
- Hit it, Simon!

- No, seriously,
I don't feel so good.

And I love that you
are unique and different.
"America's Got Talent"
is a variety show...
- Yes.
- And we don't all have
to look the same.
I think you're great.
- Thank you.
- I liked it too.
You showed us who you are
through your voice,
and your being.
So I would like to start off
with the first yes.
Sofía?
- Yes.
- Heidi?
- It's a big fat yes from me.
- Yes, Heidi!
- Simon?
- Yes.
- ♪ Don't let
the sun go down on me ♪
- Yeah, good for you!
Yes!
- ♪ It's always someone
else I see ♪
- Thank you guys so much.
- ♪ I'd just allow
a fragment of your life ♪
- That was interesting.
- Different.
- We as human beings sometimes
judge books by their covers.
- Yeah.
- It's true.
- ♪ But losin' everything ♪
♪ Is like the sun goin'
down on me ♪
- Hey, y'all got this.
Y'all got this.
- Can we just do self-
affirmations in the mirror?
- Yes.
- Look in the mirror.
Do you think we look good?
- Let's do this.
Brrr, brrr, brrr, mah!
- Yes, you can do it.
- You look great.
Hello, Simon... no.
- You got this, Debbii.
You got this, Debbii.
- Hey, Howie.
- Sofía, you're looking lovely.
- Heidi laughing...
I get 'em all.
- Let's go.
Hello, Simon, hello.
- What's your name?
- My name is Max.
- Max.
And what are you gonna do today?
- Magic.
- Magic!
Well, listen,
it's a pleasure to meet you.
All right, go right ahead.
- Good evening!
- Hello.
- Hi.
- How are you?
What's your name?
- My name is Maxence.
- Hi, Maxence.
That's French.
- Maxence.
- Yes, I'm French from Paris.
- Oh, wow.
And how old are you?
- 32 years old.
- And what do you do?
What do you...
- Magic.
- Oh, magic.
- Hey, we love magic.
- How long have
you been doing magic?
- I started
when I was ten years old.
I saw a magician
in Chambéry make amazing trick
with my hands.
My brain is, "Boom".
And I say, I would like to be
a magician, and I'm here.
- This is the dream, right?
To be here in America,
to do well,
and maybe win this thing,
and then...
- Magic is my life
- Aww.
- Go ahead, show us the magic.
- Of course.
Okay, today, America,
I will show you three things.
One prediction, one appearance,
and a final impossible.
But to begin, I need your
credit card, please, Howie.
Credit card?
- Sofía, could you
sign this envelope for me?
Do you have a marker?
It's okay.
I have one.
- Oh, eww.
- I have another one.
- Okay, that's clean?
- Please sign on it, please.
- A sign of what?
- Whatever you want.
- A heart?
- Yes, of course.
- It's beautiful, huh?
- Beautiful.
Now it's a unique envelope, yes?
- Yes.
- And your credit, please.
- Oh, my credit card?
- Yes.
Well...
- Thank you.
I put it inside the envelope.
It's okay for you?
- Yes, it's okay for me.
- And I close it.
Oh, stupid.
- Oh.
- Simon, could you grab it
with two finger like that?
Did you feel it inside?
The card, of course.
- Oui.
- Thank you.
Don't worry.
In case of trouble
with your credit card,
I propose to you a compensation,
a just in case box.
But please don't
open it unless I ask you.
- Okay, just in case.
- Yes, sir.
Deck of cards, yes?
- Yeah.
- This deck is
little bit special.
We have 50 to drink on it,
like for example,
coffee, red wine,
beer, lemonade, tea,
of course,
all the card are different,
blah, blah, blah, okay?
Touch any one card, but don't
watch it for this moment.
- Touch it, but don't look.
- Perfect, take it.
Thank you.
My friend, let me
introduce my mini-theater.
Behind the curtain
on the mini-stage,
I made a prediction.
Suspense.
Ladies and gentlemen,
my prediction is,
eee-ooh, a can of cola.
Heidi, for the first time,
tell me exactly
what is your card?
It's...
- It's not cola.
- It's what?
- It's milk.
- Dammit.
Uh-oh.
- You know what,
let me show you a thing.
No, no, it's better.
Let me show you this thing.
I have some paper,
numbered from one to seven.
Behind each
number we have something.
You will choose any number
between one and seven,
and I'll try
to make appear the object
which is behind your selection.
Tell me one number.
- Three.
- Are you sure?
You can do change if you want.
- No.
- If you tell me another number,
we have different object, yes?
- Yes.
- Yes.
But you told me number three,
and it's a mini-helicopter.
- Okay.
- I try to make appear.
- Okay, all right.
- I can do it.
I hope so.
By the way, ladies...
- Yes?
- This is for you.
- Thank you.
- Music maestro!
Yes!
Exactly a mini-helicopter
for you ladies.
- Wow.
How did he do that?
- But wait, wait!
I'm not finished.
Wait!
Simon, you always
have the card inside, yes?
- Always had the card.
- Let me introduce
the magic machine.
Listen to me.
Actually,
will you put the envelope
inside the magic machine.
- No, no.
- And the credit card
will be disappear.
It's amazing trick.
- No, no.
- Yes.
- No!
No.
- One.
Suspense... two, three.
- No, that's real.
It's real.
- Yes, he did it!
Give me five, Simon.
Don't worry,
you remember in case
of trouble we have
the just in case box.
- Oh, yeah.
- Open the box.
Watch inside and show it
to everyone because...
- Okay, you pull it down?
- Yes, of course.
Inside we have...
- Scissors.
- I never said
it will be your card.
- Scissor is here
for one reason.
Since the beginning
of the act we have
can of cola
completely sealed, yes?
- Yes.
- Could you open
the can for me, please?
- Be careful with your nail.
- You don't believe me,
but inside it's not cola.
- It's milk!
Exactly like your choice.
My prediction is true!
But listen, listen...
Take it and shake, shake.
You hear inside,
we have something inside.
We need to cut
the can because it's sealed.
Scissor, please.
- I like the way you say that.
- Yes, I do very slowly for you.
Dramaturgy.
Oh, my God.
Inside, we have something...
I don't want to touch...
- Watch you don't cut yourself.
- Anything, but watch.
- Oh, that's my card.
- The card.
- That's your card?
- Could you confirm... yes.
- It's got milk all over.
- Exactly your credit card.
- That's my card.
- That's... it's impossible.
- Yes.
- Wow.
- Thank you, America!

every time I close my eyes ♪
♪ I feel like
I could disappear ♪

how it feels ♪

- Sofía?
- I thought
the whole thing was brilliant.
You're so funny.
The magic was also fantastic.
I loved how you
interacted with us.
I really loved this act.
- Okay, Heidi?
- It was so much fun
listening to you.
I mean, you tick all the boxes.
Funny, charming,
you can do all the magic.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
Loved what you just did.
- Thank you.
- You're not only a great
magician, you are very funny,
and you've got
some great energy.
We didn't know
where it was going,
so it made it more
surprising and fun,
and can I have a cloth
to wipe off my card?
- Just use your pants.
- No.
Simon, what did you think?
- At times, annoying...
- No!
- Unusual...
- What?
- Well, yeah.
However, the audience loved you.
And the magic was très bien.
Yeah.
- Well, let's vote.
We're gonna vote.
I'll start with Sofía.
- Yes.
- Heidi?
- Yes!
- Simon?
- Well, I think
all things considered...
Yes.
- ♪ I just want to be wanted ♪
♪ Oh, yeah ♪
- I love him.
- I love him too.
- Bye!
- He made a helicopter.
- That was crazy.
- Thanks, judges.
Thanks, America!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
I'm fine, I'm fine.
- My dream is to create
my own completely unique show
up in the air, singing opera,
twirling around upside down...
Making magic onstage.
- We've been able
to attain high heights,
but there's still something
else that we're striving for.
- To get a show in Vegas,
that would be amazing, crazy.
I don't think you even dream
about that, you know,
unfathomable.
- You surprised us.
You are original.
- It was beautiful.
- Mesmerizing.
It was so elegant.
- Absolutely brilliant.
You're through
to the next round.
Congratulations.
- We are here
on "America's Got Talent."
It's a big opportunity.
It's so important for us
because it's always our dreams
to perform in Vegas
and have our own show.
We're gonna bring
everything we have.
Let's do this for Aruba.
Come on!
RCC Aruba!
- This season has been amazing.
Can you get, like, a more
complicated snack to eat?
Because, like,
next time what is it gonna be,
like a sushi
with the chopsticks?
- It's a tangerine.
- RCC Aruba,
you're up next for stage.
Are you ready?
- Yes, we are ready!
Let's do this, guys.
Let's do this!
- Good evening.
How are you?
- Hello, hello, good evening.
- Fine.
- And who are you?
- We are RCC Aruba.
- What does RCC Aruba means?
- Rhythm Circus Company.
- And what is it?
- We're gonna do
a teeterboard act
that you guys never see before.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
- I hear an accent.
Where are you from?
- We are originally from
Colombia and Cuba, but we...
- Why didn't you say that first?
- Why didn't you say it?
- Why... then why
are you called Aruba?
- Because we made Aruba
our home 20 years ago.
- Okay, okay.
- Oh.
- But when we came here,
it was a complete chaos for us
because we have too
many problems with our props.
Everything was,
like, loosened in Atlanta.
And just one hour ago,
we find our teeterboard,
and we have to borrow mats
and so many things
with the production,
they help us.
For a moment, we thought
that we cannot perform
because what we're
gonna do is very dangerous.
- See, this is
why... two words, carry-on.
You're right, you're right.
- Do you guys make
a living out of this act?
- Yes, we have
the best show on the island,
and now we... that's
why we came here,
because we're gonna have
the best show in the world,
and everybody see it.
- I really hope so.
Good luck tonight.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you for this opportunity.
- Thank you, thank you.

you feel really nervous
when you don't have
your own things, you know?

- And it's so amazing
that you guys went
from not having your stuff
an hour before a performance.
I am so proud of you guys.
- Thank you so much.
- Howie?
- The fact is that even if you
had your own equipment here,
it was thrilling,
it was exciting, it was edgy,
and you guys blew
my mind with this.
Unbelievable.
- Thank you.
- Heidi?
- You have to go through.
You were fantastic.
Fantastic, fantastic.
I loved it.
- Simon?
- Look, before you started,
I was kind of thinking,
oh, God, there's a plank
and a bouncy castle there.
This isn't gonna be great.
But actually the fact that
it kind of felt less kind of,
like, polished
than we normally see,
I really enjoyed that,
I thought it was really cool.
And I actually could tell
how much it means to you.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you.
- Okay, so let's vote.
- I'm gonna say yes.
- Howie?
- Yes.
- Yes!
- Heidi?
- I'm giving you a third yes.
- Ahh!
- Whoo!
- I'm gonna say yes.
You already passed it.
You're going.
- The added pressure
of not having your own stuff
when you're doing something...
- That's crazy.
- Dangerous is crazy.
- Really.
- Yeah.

that I was auditioning
for "America's Got Talent,"
and she said, "Oh, well,
I'm sure you will bring
great shame to our family."
This is what I've
been hearing my whole life.
I finally said,
"Mom, you have to stop talking
"to me like that, okay?
You're not Asian."
"I'm adopted.
You're white."
- That was funny.
- Um, I don't know.
Something didn't quite click

- Hey, guys.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Who are you?
- My name is Don McMillan.
I am 62 years old,
and I'm
from Santa Clarita, California.
- Yippee!
And tell us,
what do you do for a living?
- I am a stand-up comedian.
- Ooh.
- Did you bring anyone special
with you today?
- Just my screen.
I use my screen.
- All right, well,
then you and your screen,
and all of us,
let's have
a great time together.
- All right.
So I have kind
of an interesting background,
I was an engineer
for many years.
And I know what you're thinking,
"Engineer, this guy's
gonna be really funny."
Somebody called me a geek
the other day.
I'm not a geek.
I am not a geek.
I'm a nerd.
And what's
the difference you ask?
I actually have a Venn diagram
to show you the difference.
Takes three things to be a nerd.
You have to be smart,
socially awkward, and obsessed.
Smart, socially awkward,
and obsessed,
and you are a nerd.
Geeks, on the other hand, are
really just smart and obsessed.
They're "Star Trek" geeks,
comic book geeks.
You guys get dressed up,
you go to conventions.
No nerd goes to a convention
unless I'm working IT support...
Only reason I'm there.
At the top here, if you're smart
and socially awkward,
you're a dork.
And if you're socially awkward
and obsessed, uh,
you're a stalker.
That's how that works.
- Oh!
- Because I'm a nerd,
I love charts.
I love a chart that explains
a whole thing in one chart.
Here's what's gonna happen
if you're making
microwave popcorn.
Here's the number
of edible pieces on the Y-axis,
and on the X-axis is the time.
You're at one minutes,
two minutes,
no pieces have popped,
very quiet in the microwave.
At some point above two minutes,
you don't know where,
all pieces are popped,
all pieces are burnt.
It is so weird.
- Right?
The bag is on fire,
the smoke alarm is blaring,
and your house will stink
for at least a week,
at least a week.
- That's so true.
- Some of my charts I can't
explain why they're true.
I just know from experience
this is what's gonna happen.
Here's the locker room
at my gym.
I am the blue dot.
I walk in.
I start to get changed.
The minute I get
all my clothes off,
12 guys walk in,
and this is
where their lockers are.
- That is so true.
- It defies statistics.
Sometimes,
statistics sounds scary,
but it's not when you look
at it from a different angle.
When I first got married,
I heard 44% of marriages
end in divorce.
That's a scary number.
Think about that.
40... my wife and I are like,
do we stand a chance?
Think of the other side.
If 44% of marriages end
in divorce,
you know what that means?
56% of marriages end in death.
Till death do us part.
- Those are the two ways
that marriages end, folks.
If you're married, enjoy it now.
It does not end well.
And that's it for me.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.

that way is kind of very now
because I think this is amazing.
- Thank you.
That means a lot coming
from you, Howie.
It really does.
- I know.

- My name is Ava Swiss.
- That's a great name,

Is that your real name?

I'm a senior
at Oxford High School.
- Okay, now I'm gonna guess...
I've been
pretty good today... singer?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- And what is the song
you've chosen and why?
- So I chose the song
"Remember" by Lauren Daigle.
- I chose the song because...
Uh, back on November 30th,
my brother and I
were a part
of the Oxford school shooting,
and we've lost four
of our students,
and seven others were injured,
one of which was a teacher.
Um...
- And how are you coping
with everything,
with life itself after that?
- It's been hard.
I mean,
I remember my brother and I,
we were talking to each other,
and we said there's no way
we were ever stepping foot
back in a school,
but we've actually been
in person in school
for about two months now,
so things are getting better.
- Wow, so...
are you telling me
that music in some form
has been kind
of like a therapy for you?
- Yeah, um,
it definitely has been.
When I sing it,
I remember the good.
I remember my community,
my family,
just the love, and I remember
that it's all there for me,
and...
it'll help me get
to where I need to be.
And so that's why
I'm so grateful I'm able
to be here today,
and I can share it
with more people
than I ever thought I could.
- Well, you're
a very special person, Ava.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Do you want some water
or anything before you start?
- I'll be good, I think.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
- We're rooting for you.
Good luck.

- Remember that one competition
your dad stood up,
and he was like,
"Hey!"
It was so cute.
- Yeah.
I wish he was here
in the audience to see it.
- I know.
- My dad was one
of my biggest supporters.
We used to always watch
"America's Got Talent,"
and he would say like,
"I definitely could see you
on there,
and one day you'll get there."
- We're so close.
We're literally backstage.
- Right.

- Sierra, Trey,
that was amazing.
I thought it was so beautiful.
It was all
about your bodies together
doing this amazing dance.
I loved it.
- There's so many dance couples
that come onto the stage,
and it's kind of the same,
the same, the same.
I feel like you guys
really brought some new moves.
I loved it.
- I'm gonna be
totally honest with you.
I love the coordination,
your synchronicity,
but I just think it
was lacking crispness for me.
It was a little
loosey-goosey at times.
- I really like you two,
but what I want to know,
was the dance a story,
or am I missing something?
- It was a story, yeah.
- In 2018,
my dad passed away unexpectedly
from a massive heart attack.
- It's okay.
- The love that I felt
from Trey the day I came back
in the studio after my dad
passed away is the same amount
of love and support I feel now,
if not even more.
- That's the thing, we always
try to be there for each other,
so in this dance,
we tried to represent that.
But it's not just
the boy lifting the girl,
it's us catching each other.
We're always there
for each other.
- Oh, you can tell.
I think it shows how close
you are when you're dancing.
You can see it.
You can feel it.
- Yeah, exactly,
but I felt more than that.
I felt
this wasn't just two people
kind of like thrown together.
They really do... I mean,
you are close friends,
You can see it.
It's amazing.
I love that.
- Beautiful.
- I love friendship.
I don't have many friends.
Would you be my friends?
- Yes, of course.
- Yes, we will be your friends.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- So we're gonna vote
for you now.
What did you think, Heidi?
- It's a yes from me, of course.
Yes!
- I love you guys.
I love you.
- Yes, thank you.
- I am gonna have to say yes.
Howie, what did you think?
- You're really good,
and there's
obviously something here,
but I don't think
you're ready for this stage.
It's got to be a no from me.
Okay.
- Simon?
- I have two new friends
for life.
Yes.

Oh.
- Tell me about you.
You look
very interesting, Auzzy.
- Well, thanks.
That means a lot.
I'm a sideshow freak.
- Good.
- I basically like
to endanger my life
for other people's entertainment
to show other people
you can truly accomplish
anything you put your mind to.
- Inspirational and dangerous.
- Okay,
what got you into this, Auzzy?
- Living in Las Vegas,
you see Fremont Street,
all the people
going out in costumes,
dressing up,
doing all the different acts,
and it was kind of like,
"I could do this."
And I love sideshow,
"Ripley's Believe It or Not!"
"Guinness Book
of World Records."
That's just something
I grew in love with.
- But you want to be main show
not sideshow, I presume.
- Yeah.
- And you think you could win?
- I think I have the potential
to win just because I push
my limits farther
than a lot of other people do,
and hopefully you'll enjoy
a lot of that today.
- Let's see what's gonna happen.
- All right,
let's have some fun.
- No, no.

- Oh.
- Ah!
- Oh!

- Oh, my God!

- Oh, no, it's a curved one.
- No, no.
- Where is this going?
Eww!
- Oh!
- Whew!
- Oh.
That can't be good.
No, don't do it.
- What are you doing?
- He's showing us
that it's real.
- It is real.
- But he's just showing us.
- Oh, no!
- Whoo!
- I'm gonna need a volunteer
to come up.
- Not me.
Howie, Howie, Howie!
- Howie.
Come on.
- That's not a volunteer...
- Come on.
- Oh, I don't want to.
- Howie, Howie!
- Oh, my God.
- I wouldn't wanna go now, you?
- No.
- Come close.
Don't be shy.
- I won't.
- Don't do it.
- Let's go.
What you gon' do?
- I'm gonna get down, all right?
You're gonna come real close.
- All right.
- I'm gonna position
the sword just like this.
- All right.
- You're gonna hold on
to the end.
- Don't push harder
than that, okay?
- Okay, all right.
- If you push harder than that,
we're probably
perforating something.
- Okay, what... what...
- Ay, no.
- So here we go.
Now you're gonna do
it all yourself.
- No!
- Oh, man.
He's gonna freak Howie out, huh?
- No.
- Yes!
- Oh, no!
- Put it up to my lips.
- Okay.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
- Ah!
- I'm gonna throw up.
- No, just, Howie, concentrate.
- Oh, it's stuck.
Something's stuck.
- Oh, it's stuck.
- I feel like
I'm touching things.
I can feel it.
- Up, Howie!
- Out, out.
- Whoo!
He did it, ladies and gentlemen!
- I'm gonna throw up.
- Ta-da!
- I could feel the...
I could feel stuff.
- How's everybody feeling?
- Sick.
- I was touching the things
that I shouldn't
have been touching.
- You were feeling maybe, like,
the chicken he had for lunch.
- I don't eat meat,
so not chicken.
- Let me ask you a question.
If you were to go
into the next round,
what would we see next?
Because I have seen that before.
- How about next time,
we break a world record
on television?
- Yes.
- I can definitely
make that happen.
- Okay.
Howie?
- I actually,
besides being disgusted,
I'm disgusted and entertained.
- Yeah.
- You are like
the Beetlejuice of sideshows.
- Yes!
- And for that,
I'm gonna give you a yes.
- That means so much.
Thank you!
- Heidi?
- I love you.
- Thank you, Heidi.

Definite yes.
- Thank you.
- Sofía.
- I feel like I wasn't supposed
to be looking at this act.
But it was fun.

it was very dangerous,

- And I'm Max.
- And where are you from?
- I'm from Boston,
Massachusetts.
- And I'm from Montreal, Canada.
- And what will you be doing
for us today?
- We're actually performing
a duo aerial straps act.
And actually, I don't know
if you guys remember,
but I already know you guys
from Season 12.
- I remember you, yeah.
- I was assisting my husband
with his roller ball act.
- I am giving you
your fourth yes.
- And now he's assisting us
on the winch.
- Hi.
- Jonathan and I have
swapped roles essentially.
For me,
it's a way for me to prove
that I'm able to perform
as my own act with Max.
- So you'll be flying
around with him,
and your husband
is operating the winch.
- Yeah.
- Sounds dangerous.
- We like to think
that it's a calculated risk.
I mean...
- And what is the dream for you?
- So if we win,
we would open our own show.
We want to be able to promote
our art to the world.
So that's the act
that we're presenting today.
- We have seen a lot
of these kinds of acts before.
Why is your one different?
- We've spent an entire year
creating all
of our own original sequences,
and also, the way
that we will perform this act,
I think
you will find it different
than ones you've seen before.
- Good.
- Good luck to you.

- Tell me about you, Debbii.
I want to get to know you.
- Basically, music is just,
like, everything to me.
It's more than like a hobby.
It's my legacy.
- What do you mean by that?
- My grandfather,
actually, in India,
he taught himself
how to play the organ
by drawing on the concrete
with charcoal like a keyboard,
you know, taught himself,
and that's how
he taught my dad,
and my dad taught me so...
- Interesting.
So they were
professional musicians?
Yeah, so my dad immigrated
here from India.
Went to college here.
- Yeah.
- One of the practice rooms,
he heard someone playing piano,
and it was my mom...
- Cool.
- On the piano, so yeah.
They fell in love...
- Are they here today?
- No, they're not.
They couldn't make it.
- That's not a good sign.
They're in Minne...
- Don't say that!
- If the parents don't turn up,
that's not a good sign.
- Don't listen to him.
- It's a good sign.
- Well, it is.
Okay.
Would you say this is one
of the most important nights
of your life?
- Definitely yeah.
- And they're not here.
- Oh, no.
- Oh, my God.
- Okay, Debbii,
what is the dream?
- The dream would
for this not to be a dream
and for it
to just be my reality.
- Okay.
- Oh, wow.
- That's beautiful.
- Okay, well look,
this is for mom and dad
who aren't here
and for you Debbii.
Good luck.

- Debbii!
You didn't tell us that.
My gosh.
Just send her mom
and dad under the bus.
- Yeah, totally.
- A special thanks
to our partners at Sonic
for providing another year
of the backstage oasis
we all know and love
as the Sonic Glowasis.
Here's more
of our favorite moments.
- Boom, that's it.
I have four yes.
It's amazing.
- It went better
than I could have expected.
- I love you, bestie.
- I love you more.
- I feel like
that didn't just happen.
- It was so nice
to get amazing feedback
on something that you've
worked so hard on.
- It's like a one breath act.
- You go...
- Yeah.
And then you go...
when it's over.
- This is just awesome,
a dream come true for us.
- Yes, it's magic.
- So, so incredible
and so surreal.
- I completely found my oasis
as a performer.
- I did it.
- Be yourself, and who knows,
maybe you'll end up
on "America's Got Talent."
- We got one act left.
How we feeling?
- These are very juicy.
- More tangerine?
- Yeah.
- Where are you?
- He's, like,
the most complicated man.
Put the peel in a plate.

Ha-ha!

- My name is the Big Apple,
and I'm a stand-up comedian
from New York City.
You know me, you love me,
you can't live without me.
Hey, what's up?
How's it going?
That's right.
I've been doing
stand-up comedy my whole life.
I mean, it's who I am.
It's down to my core.
You're looking red,
and you're looking delicious.
I think that I can win
this entire competition
because I am an apple.
And who doesn't like
a beautiful Red Delicious apple?
You've lived your whole life
for this moment, Big Apple.
You got this.
Honestly, this performance could
really change my life forever.
If I won a million dollars,
I would donate it to charity
because that's what
people always say on this show.
But honestly,
I would just keep it.

It's me, the Big Apple.
Hey!

- Big Apple!
Come on, Simon.
What do you think I am?
- Okay, why are you here,
Big Apple?
- I'm here to prove
that "AGT" stands
for Apple's Got Talent, Simon.
Come on now.
Hey, yeah.
- Simon, ask him that question
you ask a lot of the acts.
- Okay, if you were a fruit...
What would you be?
- Honestly, Simon,
if I had to answer you that
truthfully,
I would rather be a pineapple.
- Aww.
- It's like the sexier version
of an apple, you know?
- Yeah.
- Right.
Okay, I'm not
gonna say anything else.
Good luck.
- Aw, thank you, Simon.
- Yeah, yeah.
Hello, hello, everybody!
My name's Big Apple!
At least,
that's what they call me.
But I think that it's a little
insensitive,
don't you think?
I mean how would you like it
if they called you fat Howie?
You know what I mean?
It doesn't feel too good,
does it?
- No.
- But you know what?
It doesn't matter.
I'm a bad apple.
You know what I mean?
You see me in the club?
Yeah, that's what
they call a forbidden fruit.
- Hey, don't be a crab apple.
Come on now.
Hey, you know what they say...
An apple a day
keeps the doctor away, hey?
Well, I don't think that's too
fair for us apples, you know.
What if I, you know,
need to see a doctor?
They're all away.
They're always away.
- Get him off of there!
- Was wondering if you guys...
Is there a doctor in the house?
- Hit it, Simon!
- Simon?
- No, seriously,
I don't feel so good.
- Here we go.
Here we go.
- Simon, make it stop!
- I don't feel so good.
Oh, God, please.
- Aww.
- What is this?
- I just need to see a doctor.
I don't feel good.
- Really?
What is happening?
- Uh-oh.
- Oh, my God.
- It's a worm.
- It's a worm with a...
- Ahh!
- Sethward!
- It's me, Sethward the worm.
- No!
- What are you doing here?
- Hey, it's me!
- What is wrong with you?
- Watch the camera.
- I'm a worm.
- Watch the camera.
- No, no, no.
- Watch the camera.
- No, no, no, no.
You're gonna hurt yourself.
- Thank goodness I got
out of there alive, am I right?
So you guys, uh, you guys
want to see some talent?
- Yes, yes.
- What is going on?
- I'm actually quite
an accomplished dancer.
You want to see?
- Yeah, we want to see.
- No.
- Okay.
Let me get up.
It's kind of hard
for worms to get up.
I don't know if you know this,
but they don't have
any arms or legs.
- Help him.
- Okay, all right.
- You okay?
All right?
- Help him.
He's losing stuff!
So funny.
- Wait, wait, wait, ho...
- Wait!
- He's gonna lose his worm.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- There he goes.
- Terry, do you wanna dance?
- Why not?
- I know how to do the worm.
- Yeah.
Ah!
Oh!
- I'm not like that.
I don't know how to do that.
Okay, I think it's time.
I think it's time to go.
I think
we gotta get out of here.
All right, come on.
