Let's start this over.

‐ Basically, she's young.
She's very young.
‐ I'm just saying
how nice it is
to see a young person
doing something else
than being in front
of the computer all day.
Because I'm sure this takes
so many hours
of working with your animals,
and they love you.
I mean, seeing
eight wagging tails,
that was the cutest thing.
‐ How do you know she didn't
learn how to do that
on YouTube?
[laughter]
[upbeat music]
‐ What did you think, Howie?
‐ This is why this show
is called "Champions."
I've never seen
a person your age
have such control

and be able to do what you did
with eight dogs.
You are truly amazing.
You're truly a champion,
and thank you for being here.
[cheers and applause]
‐ As Howie said,
this is one of
the most difficult things
I can imagine.
I mean, I have four dogs.
I can't get them to sit
for the life of me.
[laughter]
And it just brought joy
to my heart.
I loved every single minute
of that.
‐ Oh, thank you!
‐ You are a star.
‐ Simon, what did you think?
‐ Well, first of all,
this was done on ice.
[laughter]
‐ I know.
And they didn't even slip.
‐ You've made it
even more difficult.
You're 11 years old.
I like the fact that the dogs
are all kind of
different breeds.
To me, it was like being
in a real life movie.

‐ Tyler, you're back.
‐ Yes.
‐ Now, I know most people
know who you are,

where you're from,
and how old you are.
‐ My name is Tyler
Butler‐Figueroa,
and I'm 12 years old,
and I'm from North Carolina.
Raleigh, North Carolina.
[cheers and applause]
‐ And Tyler, you had a pretty
amazing year last year,
didn't you?
‐ Yes.
I got the Golden Buzzer
from Simon,
and I feel like
that was amazing
because Simon is really
a hard judge to impress.
‐ Good for you.
And how are you feeling?
Is everything okay?
‐ Yes, I've been in remission
from cancer for four years.
‐ Oh.
[cheers and applause]
[melancholy music]
‐ "America's Got Talent"‐‐
it changed my life a lot.
It's just been amazing,
but it has been a really
long journey to get here.
‐ One thing that my son is
is a fighter.
Ever since he was 4 1/2,
he's been fighting
for his life.
That's when he was diagnosed
with acute lymphoblastic
leukemia.
When we first got
the diagnosis, it was‐‐
it was‐‐it was‐‐
well I guess you can say
horrible, terrible.
It was like a nightmare.
‐ The violin
was almost like my hero.
It was a way to take me
through hard things.
With the violin, I felt like
I could do anything.
[cheers and applause]
When I auditioned, I really
wanted to impress Simon.
[cheers and applause]
So to get his Golden Buzzer
was, like,
the best moment ever.
It's a dream come true.
‐ Once he got
that Golden Buzzer,
he was a totally
different person.
Now Tyler has that confidence
that I thought
he would never get back again.
‐ You were absolutely
incredible!
‐ I was real excited
that I made it to the finale.
‐ The act taking the last spot
in the top five is
Detroit Youth Choir!
‐ It was just
a hard moment for me.
But after
"America's Got Talent,"
I still get fan mail
from different people
saying I inspired them
to keep fighting.
‐ I'm just so proud of him.
Even though Tyler didn't win
"America's Got Talent,"
he's always been
a champion to me.
‐ This is the performance
of my life.
‐ Ten seconds.
‐ I want to show Simon
that he was right for giving me
the Golden Buzzer,
and I want to show him
that I am a champion.
‐ Here we go.

[cheers and applause]
[light music]
My name is Ben Hart.
I'm 29.
I'm from London,
and I'm a magician.
[whooshing]
I discovered magic
when I was very young.
I grew up on a diet
of dark and evil fairy tales,
and I've always liked the idea
of the battle
between good and evil.
Ever since then, I just
have lived in a fantasy world.
Magic reminds us that there is
mystery in the world.
‐ That's just done my head in.
You are, like,
the living embodiment of magic.
You're an act genuinely made
for the papers.
‐ To see an audience
on their feet
cheering a piece of magic
that's really resonated
with them
is a very nice feeling.
‐ Only one of you can leave
here as tonight's winner.
‐ Waiting to hear the results
felt like an eternity.
‐ The third place act in
"Britain's Got Talent 2019"‐‐
‐ And I knew that my life
might be completely
transformed.
‐ Ben Hart.
‐ And so I was disappointed
to not win.
But what I didn't realize
is my life has changed
anyway.
‐ This young man wowed us with
his spellbinding magic skills.
‐ Now I'm going on my first
headlining tour
around the U. K.
People stop me in the street.
It's crazy.
But I think what
makes somebody a champion
is the desire
to push themselves further...
To take extra risks.
And that's what I intend
to do here.
And so I hope
I'm ready to impress
on this huge,
massive global scale.
I've been working really hard
trying to perfect
my performance.
Because not many people
get a second chance
to prove
that they're a champion.
So I'm really glad
to perform again.
And maybe I'll
go all the way this time.
[cheers and applause]
When I was traveling in India,
I witnessed a ritual
that happens
by the river at night.
The locals crowd
on the riverbanks,
and they fill bowls
with offerings
of candles, flowers,
rice.
And they float these bowls
into the water
whilst they make a wish.
One bowl reflected in the water
in the river
becomes two bowls.
Don't worry,
that is not the trick.
[laughter]
But why double an empty bowl?
And these bowls
really are empty.
Totally empty.
And so I will fill
one of the bowls
with a single
grain of rice.
One grain of rice
reflected in the water
and in the river becomes...
two grains of rice.
That's one.
‐ Ooh. That's two.
The smallest piece of magic
ever presented on this stage.
But why double
just one single grain of rice
when you could double
an entire bowl full of rice?
I will fill this bowl
with enough rice
to fill it to the brim.
No more and no less,
just one bowl of rice.
One bowl reflected
in the water,
and even though
this is now a sealed chamber
and my sleeves
are completely up‐‐
I can't get in or out‐‐
there is now twice as much rice
in the bowl
as when we started.

I will level
all this rice off.
There is still rice

Then, on the riverbank,
I see a man reflected
back at me
holding two brass bowls,
and in that moment
I'm not sure if I'm real
or if I'm refection
because the man
in the reflection
parted his bowls to reveal
he is holding
the bowls of rice,
which means I am holding
bowls of water.

an introduction again anyway.
‐ I am Michael Grimm.
I am from a little town
called Waveland, Mississippi,
and I won back in 2010.
‐ So when he was on the show,
I remember,
'cause it was very exciting
for me.
This is the first winner
of "AGT" that I ever met.
During the show you said
that you wanted the money.
You wanted to buy‐‐
is it your grandmother?
‐ Yeah, my grandmother
and my grandfather
lost their house
in Hurricane Katrina.
[somber music]
Well, growing up as a kid,
my grandparents raised me.
We were poor,
but there was a lot of love.
Yeah, we were rich in that.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina
wiped the whole town away.
Everyone lost their houses,
including my grandparents.
At the time, I'd been playing
in little dive bars.
I wanted to help them,
so I decided to try out
for "America's Got Talent."
What little money I make,
I give to them.
I was looking for a break.
[singing]
[cheers and applause]
Hopefully I can get on
for one episode.
‐ Michael Grimm,
you're going to Hollywood.
‐ [laughs]
‐ [crying] Oh, God.
But it just kept growing.
I had never saw myself
winning the show.
‐ We're about
to reveal your winner.
‐ In the finals, I'm standing
next to Jackie Evancho.
In my mind,
I already felt she won.
You know, I knew
they were gonna
announce her name.
‐ Michael Grimm!
[cheers and applause]
‐ You can see the shock.
It took the breath out of me.
I still can't believe it.
"AGT" taught me that
anything is possible.
‐ With the million dollar
prize,
Michael Grimm came through
in a promise he made
to build his grandparents
a brand‐new home.
‐ And there's Grandma's keys.
‐ Oh, thanks.
‐ And then I asked
my girlfriend to marry me.
Will you marry me?
‐ [laughs] Yes.
[cheers and applause]
‐ I recorded an album
that charted pretty well
on Billboard.
[camera shutter clicks]
It all happened all at once.
It was big, it was quick.
It all came
like a freight train.
‐ Are you ready
for that kind of success?
‐ I was not prepared
for that level of attention.
[light music]
And I'm a pretty shy person.
Yeah, it was, uh‐‐
it was scary.
So I just kind of
took a step back,
and left fame passing me by.
Now, years later,

a better job
facing my success.

[melancholy music]
‐ "America's Got Talent"‐‐
it changed my life a lot.
It's just been amazing,

long journey to get here.
‐ One thing that my son is
is a fighter.
Ever since he was 4 1/2,
he's been fighting
for his life.
That's when he was diagnosed
with acute lymphoblastic
leukemia.
When we first got
the diagnosis, it was‐‐
it was‐‐it was‐‐
well I guess you can say
horrible, terrible.
It was like a nightmare.
‐ The violin
was almost like my hero.
It was a way to take me
through hard things.
With the violin, I felt like
I could do anything.
[cheers and applause]
When I auditioned, I really
wanted to impress Simon.
[cheers and applause]
So to get his Golden Buzzer
was, like,
the best moment ever.
It's a dream come true.
‐ Once he got
that Golden Buzzer,
he was a totally
different person.
Now Tyler has that confidence
that I thought
he would never get back again.
‐ You were absolutely
incredible!
‐ I was real excited
that I made it to the finale.
‐ The act taking the last spot
in the top five is
Detroit Youth Choir!
‐ It was just
a hard moment for me.
But after
"America's Got Talent,"
I still get fan mail
from different people
saying I inspired them
to keep fighting.
‐ I'm just so proud of him.
Even though Tyler didn't win
"America's Got Talent,"
he's always been
a champion to me.
‐ This is the performance
of my life.
‐ Ten seconds.
‐ I want to show Simon
that he was right for giving me
the Golden Buzzer,
and I want to show him
that I am a champion.
‐ Here we go.

[light music]
My name is Ben Hart.
I'm 29.
I'm from London,
and I'm a magician.
[whooshing]
I discovered magic
when I was very young.
I grew up on a diet
of dark and evil fairy tales,
and I've always liked the idea
of the battle
between good and evil.
Ever since then, I just
have lived in a fantasy world.
Magic reminds us that there is
mystery in the world.
‐ That's just done my head in.
You are, like,
the living embodiment of magic.
You're an act genuinely made

anyway.
‐ This young man wowed us with
his spellbinding magic skills.
‐ Now I'm going on my first
headlining tour
around the U. K.
People stop me in the street.
It's crazy.
But I think what
makes somebody a champion
is the desire
to push themselves further...
To take extra risks.
And that's what I intend
to do here.
And so I hope
I'm ready to impress
on this huge,
massive global scale.
I've been working really hard
trying to perfect
my performance.
Because not many people
get a second chance
to prove
that they're a champion.
So I'm really glad
to perform again.
And maybe I'll
go all the way this time.

When I was traveling in India,
I witnessed a ritual
that happens
by the river at night.
The locals crowd
on the riverbanks,
and they fill bowls
with offerings
of candles, flowers,
rice.
And they float these bowls
into the water
whilst they make a wish.
One bowl reflected in the water
in the river
becomes two bowls.
Don't worry,
that is not the trick.
[laughter]
But why double an empty bowl?
And these bowls
really are empty.
Totally empty.
And so I will fill
one of the bowls
with a single
grain of rice.
One grain of rice
reflected in the water
and in the river becomes...
two grains of rice.
That's one.
‐ Ooh. That's two.
The smallest piece of magic
ever presented on this stage.
But why double
just one single grain of rice
when you could double
an entire bowl full of rice?
I will fill this bowl
with enough rice
to fill it to the brim.
No more and no less,
just one bowl of rice.
One bowl reflected
in the water,
and even though
this is now a sealed chamber
and my sleeves
are completely up‐‐
I can't get in or out‐‐

I'm not sure if I'm real
or if I'm refection

in the reflection
parted his bowls to reveal
he is holding
the bowls of rice,

bowls of water.

[cheers and applause]
‐ Welcome back.
‐ Well, thank you.
‐ I think most people
know who you are,
but let's start with
an introduction again anyway.
‐ I am Michael Grimm.
I am from a little town
called Waveland, Mississippi,
and I won back in 2010.
‐ So when he was on the show,
I remember,
'cause it was very exciting
for me.
This is the first winner
of "AGT" that I ever met.
During the show you said
that you wanted the money.
You wanted to buy‐‐
is it your grandmother?
‐ Yeah, my grandmother
and my grandfather
lost their house
in Hurricane Katrina.
[somber music]
Well, growing up as a kid,
my grandparents raised me.
We were poor,
but there was a lot of love.
Yeah, we were rich in that.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina
wiped the whole town away.
Everyone lost their houses,
including my grandparents.
At the time, I'd been playing
in little dive bars.
I wanted to help them,
so I decided to try out
for "America's Got Talent."
What little money I make,
I give to them.
I was looking for a break.
[singing]
[cheers and applause]
Hopefully I can get on
for one episode.
‐ Michael Grimm,
you're going to Hollywood.
‐ [laughs]
‐ [crying] Oh, God.
But it just kept growing.
I had never saw myself
winning the show.
‐ We're about
to reveal your winner.
‐ In the finals, I'm standing
next to Jackie Evancho.
In my mind,
I already felt she won.
You know, I knew
they were gonna
announce her name.
‐ Michael Grimm!
[cheers and applause]
‐ You can see the shock.
It took the breath out of me.
I still can't believe it.
"AGT" taught me that
anything is possible.
‐ With the million dollar
prize,
Michael Grimm came through
in a promise he made
to build his grandparents
a brand‐new home.
‐ And there's Grandma's keys.
‐ Oh, thanks.
‐ And then I asked
my girlfriend to marry me.
Will you marry me?
‐ [laughs] Yes.
[cheers and applause]
‐ I recorded an album
that charted pretty well
on Billboard.
[camera shutter clicks]
It all happened all at once.
It was big, it was quick.
It all came
like a freight train.
‐ Are you ready
for that kind of success?
‐ I was not prepared
for that level of attention.
[light music]
And I'm a pretty shy person.
Yeah, it was, uh‐‐
it was scary.
So I just kind of
took a step back,
and left fame passing me by.
Now, years later,
I'm wishing I would've done
a better job
facing my success.
[exhales] You know, even‐‐
even being here
and thinking of this,
I get very nervous.
It's a lot of responsibility
on me, here,
representing America
with champions
from all around the world.
[incoherent chatter]
But this is a second chance,
and I wanna defend the title
and take it all the way
again.

is all about you, so good luck.
