This season of America’s Got Talent has had some stiff competition. The judges loved acts like Mama Duke, LightWire, Charity Lockhart, and Due Stardust. Each of them received a Golden Buzzer that took them straight to the finals. But in a new twist this year, the judges had a Live Golden Buzzer in the quarterfinals that would advance one act to the top four during the September 23 finale. AGT Judges Simon Cowell, Mel B, and Sofia Vergara each hit the Golden Buzzer earlier in the competition, but Howie Mandel waited. He wanted to be totally blown away by an act, and that finally happened on September 9.

Howie Mandel Slammed His “AGT” Golden Buzzer
Howie takes his AGT job seriously and doesn’t want to give the Golden Buzzer away to just anyone. Instead, he took his time finding the perfect act. When the dancers, named Team Recycled, began their performance, it was clear that Howie made the right decision. Their moves were clean and exciting, stunning both the audience and the judges. Before hitting the Golden Buzzer, Howie teased the AGT champion hopefuls.
“Tonight was kind of disappointing because I was looking for an act that would step it up,” Howie said. “I was looking for an act that could possibly win this whole thing. Nobody has been able to step it up, and I said to myself, ‘Can they do it?’ And the answer is, ‘yes.’”
The crowd went wild as gold confetti hit the stage. They truly believed Team Recycled deserved the Golden Buzzer on AGT.
“Most improved act this season! Where they were in the audition to where they are now was unbelievable! This shows how hard they’ve worked! Amazing job, Team Recycled,” someone wrote on Instagram.
“You guys did that!!! So so proud of my people,” another person agreed.
