The auditions have wrapped on America’s Got Talent, but with Simon Cowell and the gang saying “yes” to more acts than there are spots in the live shows, some tough decisions had to be made. Tuesday night’s episode on the 2026 TV schedule promised “Live Acts Revealed,” except that’s not exactly how things played out. Cowell decided to add a twist to Season 21 (he can do that, you know), and I love how very The Voice-esque it is.
Now, Terry Crews did get around to revealing some of the acts to make the live shows in America's Got Talent's July 28 episode, including Chicago’s Jesse White Tumbling Team, who tragically lost a member following their audition. In other cases, though — like with the magician who nearly had his act ruined by Simon Cowell — no consensus could be reached. So Cowell initiated the first ever AGT Callbacks.
