The America’s Got Talent judges have officially given their final Golden Buzzer of 2026. With only one episode left of the auditions round, it’s about time for fans to remember which acts were given a Golden Buzzer.
Which Acts Earned a Golden Buzzer on AGT 2026?
1. Acro Crew
During the premiere episode of America’s Got Talent Season 21, Acro Crew earned Terry Crews’ Golden Buzzer. Their act was a mix of gymnastics and dog training, featuring the Canine Circus (previously seen on Canada’s Got Talent).
2. Hundred Fingers
AGT alum Yu Hojin didn’t feel complete finishing Season 17 out as a finalist. To redeem himself, he returned to the stage with multiple other illusionist, multiplying cards, changing their colors and suits, making them disappear entirely, and more. Both Terry Crews and Howie Mandel were impressed with this act, but Mandel ultimately hit the Golden Buzzer before Terry Crews could.
In the third AGT audition episode, active duty member Isaac Atkins took the stage, singing “Beggin'” by Måneskin. Mel B was so impressed by this performance that she hit the Golden Buzzer, sending him through to the live shows.
4. Lai Noelle
During the premiere of AGT Season 21, Simon Cowell hit the Golden Buzzer for 14 year old singer Lai Noelle. She performed “Die On This Hill” by Sienna Spiro. During the song, Sofia Vergara questioned if she should hit the Golden Buzzer, but ultimately Cowell did it first.
5. Lara Dabbagh
During the second AGT Season 21 audition episode, Australian singer Lara Dabbagh took the stage, singing “Oscar Winning Tears” by RAYE. Sofia Vergara loved this audition so much that she hit the Golden Buzzer, sending Lara through to the live shows.
Luke Taleno also earned the Golden Buzzer during the premiere episode of AGT Season 21. He took the stage rapping his original song “From Seat to Stage.” Howie Mandel was so impressed by his original song that he hit the Golden Buzzer.
7. Mackenzie Sol
This 25 year old was no stranger to performing for Simon Cowell, since he had jokingly auditioned for The X Factor UK, when his mother’s band auditioned for the show. Now, at 25 years old, Mackenzie returned to the stage singing “back to friends” by Sombr. Mel B was moved by his story and performance so much that she hit the Golden Buzzer for him.
During the fifth audition episode of AGT Season 21, dance trio Royal Lasers took the stage performing a light-up dance routine. AGT had been apart of this trio’s story for a while, since they originally met while working on the AGT Las Vegas residency. After their incredible performance, Terry Crews gave them the Golden Buzzer.
9. Rubén Roldán Bustos
Arguably the most unique act of the bunch is Rubén Roldán Bustos, who performs a parkour act. Rubén defied all odds on the AGT stage, showing that he’s able to perform parkour, even as an amputee. The moment was incredible, leading Simon Cowell to hit the Golden Buzzer.
10. Veronika Goroshkova
The last Golden Buzzer that was given was for aerial pole artist, Veronika Goroshkova. She performed the aerial pole in the middle of the Pasadena Civic Center, impressing the judges by taking her act off the stage. Sofia Vergara felt inclined to hit the Golden Buzzer, sending Veronika through to the live shows.
