America’s Got Talent is poised for its most captivating season yet. As we gear up for the premiere on May 28, viewers can expect a plethora of awe-inspiring moments, especially with major changes to the Golden Buzzer system.
Enhanced Golden Buzzer System
This season, each judge—Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara—will have not one but two Golden Buzzers to bestow. Host Terry Crews will also have his own opportunity, bringing an unprecedented number of acts directly to the live semi-final rounds. New season, new rules
, Howie Mandel declares.
Unveiling New Talents
Season 19 promises some of the wildest acts we’ve ever seen—a mix of comedians, magicians, and dance groups. Notably, it will feature the youngest contestant in AGT history. As always, acts must pass a three-yes threshold from the judges to advance, unless they secure that coveted Golden Buzzer.
Cementing Legacies
The influence of past Golden Buzzer winners like Grace Vanderwaal—who won Season 11 and recently snagged Best New Artist at the Radio Disney Music Awards—illustrates the significant impact of this honor. Howie Mandel has been known to spot extraordinary talent early, as seen with Vanderwaal’s rapid rise.
Mandel recalls these moments vividly: I saw potential in Vanderwaal almost instantaneously
. This enthusiasm isn’t unshared; NBC hints at wild and varied acts that will make Season 19 unforgettable.
Live Shows and Results
The live shows are scheduled to commence in early August from the greater Los Angeles area. Starting August 13, these performances promise intricate displays of talent with results following each week until the finale.
