AGT's New Twist: Judges Host Callbacks in Unique Spots!
29 Jul
Summary
- New Judges' Callbacks round gives 23 acts a second audition opportunity.
- Judges filmed callbacks in diverse locations, including homes and gardens.
- Celebrity guest judges include Nikki Glaser, Normani, and Emma Bunton.
America's Got Talent season 21 features a significant new twist: the Judges' Callbacks. This round allows 23 chosen acts to audition once more, giving judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofía Vergara, and Melanie Brown a deeper understanding of their potential before the live shows. Cowell championed the idea, finding the extended time with contestants invaluable for making final decisions.
The Judges' Callbacks were filmed in distinctive settings across the U.S. and England. Each judge selected personal locations, such as Cowell's Malibu home or Vergara's Beverly Hills setting, for these second auditions. This approach aimed to reveal different facets of the judges' interactions with the performers.
To aid in their selections, the regular judges are joined by celebrity guest judges. Comedian Nikki Glaser will assist Howie Mandel, while Lele Pons and Sebastián Yatra will team up with Sofía Vergara. A notable appearance will be Emma Bunton, joining Mel B for a Spice Girls reunion, adding an extra layer of excitement to the proceedings.
These pivotal Judges' Callbacks episodes are scheduled to air on August 4 and August 11 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC. Following these broadcasts, viewers will see which acts advance to the live competition. New episodes of AGT can be watched live on NBC or streamed the following day on Peacock.
