America’s Got Talent Sets 10 Finalists for Season 21

Viewer voting decided six semifinalists who will join four Golden Buzzer acts in a two‑night finale that will award $1 million and a Las Vegas headline slot.

Overview

  • After performances on Sept. 15 and a results episode on Sept. 16, six acts advanced by viewer vote: Olivia Befus, Veronika Goroshkova, Acro Canine Dance Crew, Come Here, Royal Lasers, and Geno Ploeger.
  • Those six finalists join four earlier live Golden Buzzer winners — Lai Noelle, Hundred Fingers, Nene Royal, and Unitree — to form the final 10 competing for the prize.
  • The finale will run two nights on Tuesday, Sept. 22 and Wednesday, Sept. 23 with each episode running two hours and the winner announced on the second night.
  • Advancement in the live rounds was decided solely by viewers using NBC’s website, the AGT app, and TikTok during a fixed overnight voting window set by producers.
  • Simon Cowell remains off the panel while recovering from surgery and guest judges including Heidi Klum and Kenan Thompson have filled his seat as Howie Mandel, Sofía Vergara, and Mel B continue on the show.
