America’s Got Talent Unveils the 44 Acts Competing in the Season 19 Live Shows — Plus a Historic Golden Buzzer Twist!
America’s Got Talent season 19 is continuing to make history!
On Tuesday, Aug. 6, the hit NBC talent series announced the 44 acts that will compete in this season’s live shows, set to kick off Aug. 13.
The live shows will begin with four weeks of quarterfinals, in which 11 acts will take the stage but only three will advance on based on America’s vote.
In a series first, judges Howie Mandel, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara and host Terry Crews will each have the opportunity to send acts straight to the finals with a “Live Show Golden Buzzer.”
After the quarterfinals wrap, 12 acts will move on to the semifinals, where they will compete for the top six spots based on viewers’ votes. Those six acts will then join the four Live Show Golden Buzzers in the two-night finale, beginning Tuesday, Sept. 17 and concluding Tuesday, Sept 24.
This year’s crop of talent will come from all acts of life and fans of AGT can expect to be wowed by performers with unique day jobs like “high school janitor, a dentist and a prison nurse.”
