America’s Got Talent Judges Tease Golden Buzzers
Judge Howie Mandel told TV Insider that the level of talent in Season 21 of AGT is “above and beyond,” adding, “My Golden Buzzer is probably one of my favorite acts in my America’s Got Talent history.”
Speaking of her own Golden Buzzer moment, fellow judge Mel B recalled that she “literally didn’t give any of the other judges a chance to press that buzzer,” adding, “I was in there so fast no one knew what was going on, which really made me laugh.”
Mel B went on to say that the craziest act she saw this season was “a guy who pretended to be three different acts.” Fellow judge Sofia Vergara also teased that “for the first time in America’s Got Talent history, the talent has been so outstanding that we saw back-to-back Golden Buzzers.”
As for host Terry Crews, he praised the “heart” of this year’s acts, saying, “The talent is bigger, yes, but the stories? They’ll stay with you.”
Season 21 of America’s Got Talent is set to premiere on NBC on Tuesday, June 2, at 8/7c. New episodes of the season will also be available for fans to stream the following day on Peacock.
Two-hour audition episodes will air every Tuesday night for the first several weeks of the competition, before the live shows begin on Tuesday, August 18. Live performance episodes will air on Tuesday nights, while results from the overnight vote will air the following Wednesday nights.
This schedule will continue through the show’s finale. This season will also feature a new round called Judges Callbacks, which will determine which acts move on to the live shows.
