America’s Got Talent Season 20 is about to premiere, which means it’s almost time to start enjoying this year’s auditions. Let’s take a look at the acts who will be performing for the judges in the premiere episode — including singers, dance groups, and more.
Meet the Acts Auditioning in the AGT Season 20 Premiere
The AGT Season 20 premiere is set to air on Tuesday, May 27, a 8/7c on NBC. Eleven acts will take the stage in the first episode for their chance to earn enough “yes” votes from the judges to move on. Will any of them earn the coveted Golden Buzzer? We’ll find out soon.
1. Amadou Diallo
We don’t know much about this performer, other than the fact that he’s a contortionist who goes by the nickname “Lastic Boy.” In photos from the premiere, he can be seen twisting his arms into unnatural positions, no doubt shocking the judges.
2. Chloe & Gallagher
Chloe Alexander is a singer with over 50,000 subscribers on YouTube, where she posts videos of herself performing. Some of those performances feature her parrot Gallagher — including a Radiohead cover that has amassed over 5 million views.
3. Eric Booker
Eric Booker, who is known online as BadlandsChugs, is a competitive eater and rapper. He currently has over 3 million followers on TikTok, where he shows himself chugging various drinks. Based on photos from the premiere, Eric will be chugging some interesting foods for the AGT judges.
4. Jacqueline & Wagner
This couple describe themselves as “Sky Skaters,” because their aerial act includes roller skates. In a clip from the premiere episode which was shown on The Tonight Show, the couple terrifies judge Sofia Vergara with their dangerous performance.
