Golden Buzzer Reveal
Heading into tonight, we didn’t think there would be Golden Buzzers in this round. However, Terry Crews comes out and makes the reveal. There will be one Golden Buzzer each week.
The judge in charge of the Live Golden Buzzer tonight on “AGT” Season 21 is Howie! So, who will he hand the Golden Buzzer to tonight? Time will tell, so follow along with our live results below and see who got the Golden Buzzer on “AGT” tonight.
8:28 p.m. – So far tonight, we have seen The CommUNITY ATL Choir and James & Marina perform. Neither of them got the Golden Buzzer from Howie!
8:42 p.m. – The Jesse White Tumbling Team brought the energy back into the building. However, no Golden Buzzer from Howie.
8:51 p.m. – Ashford Sanders performed. Howie was not impressed, so no Golden Buzzer for him.
8:59 p.m. – Sando performed and had a viral moment, but no Golden Buzzer.
Howie Hits the Golden Buzzer
NBCThe main guy from Hundred Fingers auditioned for “AGT” before, but it wasn’t big enough. Now, he is back with more people, and he got Howie to hit the Golden Buzzer for them during the auditions. They do magic tricks with cards, fire, and fans. It’s all about sleight of hand and making all of these moves, but it moves slowly and is boring for me. I am not blown away, but they get a standing ovation from the judges.
Judges’ Feedback: Howie wastes no time on this one, as he slams his body on the Golden Buzzer for Hundred Fingers. Howie said that’s the best thing he’s seen. Magic! They are moving directly to the finals!
What do you think of Howie’s choice tonight?
