America's Got Talent season 19 judges
Outside of the performers, the judges are the stars of America's Got Talent, as they are the initial gatekeepers on what acts advance or not. Long-time fans of the series won't have to get used to anyone new this season, as the quartet of Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara are all back in their roles.
Mandel is the longest-tenured judge of the four, having been on AGT since season 5. Cowell, who is also an executive producer on the show, has sat in as a judge since season 11. Klum and Vergara, meanwhile, both joined the show in season 15.
Something new to know with the judges, each of them are going to get two Golden Buzzers to hand out instead of the traditional one, as made evident by one of the trailers you can watch below.
