How do the America’s Got Talent live shows work?
The live quarterfinals will roll out over four weeks, with two-hour performance episodes featuring 11 different acts on Tuesdays and one-hour results shows on Wednesdays. Each week, judges Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Mel B, and Sofia Vergara can automatically push an act through to the finals by using the live golden buzzer, leaving the remaining 10 acts to compete for America’s votes. The three acts who receive the most votes each week advance to the semifinals.
During the semifinals, 12 teams will vie for the AGT crown with the six acts receiving the most votes moving on to the finals. The judges will also have the ability to use a semifinal golden buzzer, sending an act directly to the finals. The acts will be joined by the four lucky live golden buzzer recipients – making up the season’s Top 11 finalists – to compete for the ultimate prize.
