What a way to open the show. Thanks, everybody.
Welcome to the "AGT" finale.
Do you want to know who's won?!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Well, you'll have to wait a little before we get to that.
So, last Tuesday, 10 acts performed in the final.
Tonight, one of them will win the title
of "AGT" champion and $1 million!
[ Cheers and applause ]
As they took to the stage last week,
they all knew they only had one shot,
one last performance to win your votes.
And, of course, the build-up to that final
began the moment they were put through.
Check it out.
This is the final!
It's the final! Yay!
[ Chanting "AGT!" ]
Hi, Mom.
Oh, hi. Mwah.
Her mom is here!
That's how big this is.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's time to pick a champion! Heidi: Ow!
This is the "AGT" final!
Ohh! I got scared! They gotta tell us!
Ten acts, one last performance each for $1 million.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Here we go. Five seconds.
Oh, my God! They're gonna do this right here, guys!
[ Shouting ]
Blindfold?!
[ Audience gasps ]
[ Sofía screaming ]
Heidi: Ohh! He can do it again!
Aah! Whoa!
[ Sofía screaming ]
Simon: Wow.
Sofía: This is the most dangerous acts I've ever seen!
I want to throw up! I'm so nervous!
[ Heart beat ]
My heart is pounding!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Wow! Wow!
All: We did it!
Howie: They fell!
Don't you realize how hard it is to do this?
* Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey *
She's not only attacking the church. She's mad at her church.
* A-Amen *
Amen, Dee Dee!
Simon: This was like a concert.
I'm looking over at your family looking at you.
I absolutely love that.
* You can sharpen your knife *
It was immaculate.
Thank you so much.
And I love your family.
Oh, my God! I was so nervous!
But I made it through.
It was amazing.
Flawless.
Terry: One half of the act got injured a couple of weeks ago,
but they adapted and they even got
the Golden Buzzer from Simon.
**
Not only did you come back, you were actually amazing.
Your courage and your relationship, it's incredible.
[ Cheers and applause ]
* With or without you *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* You don't have to say what you did *
Sofía: It's perfection.
It's mesmerizing.
**
You're taking big swings with your choreography,
and you have never missed.
* Cry me a river *
I can't hear a word anyone else has said,
but I actually think
you could walk away winning the show.
I don't know how you come up with so much.
You're like a painter. Thank you.
**
* Five, six, five, six, seven eight *
* I could be the one *
You've combined quick change with magic.
That's why this is so unique.
The most beautiful magician we've ever had.
So much fun to watch. You're so good at what you do.
Howie: You're the one act, for me, that sticks out
that could have her own room in Las Vegas.
In auditions, it was thousands of contestants.
Right now just 10 are here, and everybody want to win.
[ Laughs ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Here's my final set. I gotta bring it.
**
Moving to America was the best decision.
Though, it was scary at first because as soon as I arrived,
they kept announcing, "If you see anything suspicious,
say something."
I was walking around...
[ Laughter ]
...looking for something suspicious
without realizing that I was now suspicious!
[ Laughter ]
You're one of my favorite comedians
of all time here on "AGT."
Great things are gonna happen for you.
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
Oh, my God. That's what I've sacrificed for.
That's what I left home for, you know?
[ Audience gasps ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Wow!
I am so proud.
You created something we've never seen before.
And it's so beautiful. It's so fun.
This is one of the best acts we've seen tonight.
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Highway run *
We killed it!
* Into the midnight sun *
Everybody tonight has risen to the final.
* Wheels go round and round *
Let's go, Richard! Let's go! You got this!
* They say that the road ain't no place to start a family *
Heidi: You are such an amazing man.
You're so humble. You're so kind.
I am so happy that we met
because you really touched my heart.
* I'm forever yours *
I want you to win this so bad, Richard!
* Faithfully, whoa, oh, oh *
I can feel... * Faithfully *
...the energy behind me.
* I'm still yours *
Goosebumps everywhere.
Simon: We all need a hero right now,
and you are our hero.
* I'm forever *
Richard: I'm overwhelmed.
I have no words. [ Laughs ] I'm speechless.
Heidi: I mean, how amazing...
He was amazing. Amazing.
[ Cheers and applause ]
He doesn't want to be with you!
I've never seen an act as good as this.
* That beauty goes deeper *
Sofía: I'll give you the million dollars.
You can come, too.
Yeah!
He's climbing.
Howie: It's hearing music.
There he goes. There he goes.
Ohh!
Bravo!
* Beautiful *
Get it for me, Heidi!
Terry: Here's Sky Elements.
Man: The greatest thing about America is you get to dream!
* I close my eyes and I can see *
I feel like the little kid in the beginning of your act,
dreaming about the American dream.
* That I call my own *
This was a really special act.
How can they make me feel so many emotions? Good job.
What a great celebration of America,
of "America's Got Talent."
* A million dreams for the world we're gonna make *
[ All chanting "USA!" ]
Are you crying? I am.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Everything you want a final to be, right?
Problem is, everyone was amazing.
I loved them.
I think everyone tonight deserves to win.
America, please do your job.
* For the world we're gonna make *
[ Cheers and applause ]
And right now they're all backstage.
Give it up for your top ten!

[ Cheers and applause ]
* And we'll keep on fighting till the end *
* We are the champions *
* No time for losers *
Wow! Simone, what a summer you've had.
Now, what stands out for you from the Olympics?
For me, I really believe it's the camaraderie
the girls shared between one another.
I feel like we've kind of never seen that before...
[ Chuckles ] ...at an Olympic Games,
so it was nice to just celebrate and cheer everyone on.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Now, for our contestants,
what does it take not just to get to the top
but to stay on top?
I would say hard work, dedication.
and lots of sacrifices to be made.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Amazing!
I know you're performing with some other
incredible gymnasts later, but I hope you'll get
more involved in the show. too.
Like, can you help me out with this throw to break?

This is "AGT: The Finale." I'm Simone Biles.
And I'm gonna be performing later with some of the stars
from the Gold Over America Tour.
I don't get it. They didn't ask meto join in with them.
I mean, just 'cause I don't have any Olympic medals...
But, anyway, here's the performance
you only see on "AGT."
All season, the acts have been
competing against each other.
But they've also been building great friendships,
and tonight they get the chance to perform with each other
for the first time.
Make some noise for Roni Sagi & Rhythm,
Brent Street, and Hakuna Matata Acrobats!
[ Cheers and applause ]

* Yeah, I'm on my way, I'm coming *

* Hope *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Hope *
**
* 30 years you've been draggin' your feet *
* Tellin' me I'm the reason we're stagnant *
* 30 years you've been claiming you're honest *
* And promising progress, well, where's it at? *
* I don't want you to feel like a failure *
* I know this hurts *
* Don't get me wrong *
* Nate, you've had a great run *
* But it's time to *
* Give the people something different *
* So without further ado, I'd *
* Like to introduce my *
* My album, my album, my album, my album *
* My album, hey, my album, my album! *
* Hope *
* What's my definition of success?
* Listening to what your heart says *
* Standing up for what you know is *
* Years of my life tryin' to fill a void *
* Pretendin' I was in -- * * They get it *
* Growing pain's a necessary evil *
* Difficult to go through, yes, but beneficial *
* Some would say having a mental breakdown is a negative thing *
* Which on the one hand, I agree with *
* On the other hand, it was the push I needed *
* To get help and start the healing process, see *
* If I'd have never hit rock bottom *
* Would I be the person that I am today? I don't believe so *
* Wake up every day and pick my son up *
* Hold him in my arms and let him know he's loved *
* Standing by the window, questioning *
* If Dad is ever going to show up *
* Isn't something he's gonna have to worry 'bout *
* Don't get it twisted, that wasn't a shot *
* Mama, I forgive you, I just don't want him to grow up *
* Thinking that he'll never be enough *
* 30 years of broken, 30 years of anguish *
* 30 years of hopeless, 30 years of hah *
* 30 years of never, 30 years of maybe *
* 30 years of later, 30 years of fake *
* 30 years of hollow, 30 years of sorrow *
* 30 years of darkness, 30 years of Nate *
* 30 years of baggage, 30 years of sadness *
* 30 years of stagnant, 30 years of chains *
* 30 years of anxious, 30 years of sufferin' *
* 30 years of torment, 30 years of wait *
* 30 years of bitter, 30 years of lonely *
* 30 years of pushing everyone away *
* I know I can change, we are not enough *
* We are not the same, you don't have the strength *
* You don't have the will, you don't have the faith *
* You'll never be loved, you'll never be safe *
* Might as well give up, not running away *
* You don't have the guts, you're the one afraid *
* I'm the one in charge, I'm taking the... *
* I'm taking the *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Terry: That was awesome!
Give it up for Roni Sagi & Rhythm,
Hakuna Matata Acrobats, and Brent Street!

I think he's the luckiest dog in the world.
Look how much talent.
Well, Rhythm and y'all were outstanding.
People, one more time for Roni Sagi & Rhythm,
Hakuna Matata Acrobats, and Brent Street.

One of the hottest "AGT" topics on social media is not my suits,
not Howie's hats,
not Sofía or Heidi's dresses.
It's Simon's glasses. Yes.
[ Cheers and applause ]
So we thought it was time
we got to the bottom of Simon's very distinctive eyewear.
Take a look.
[ Cheers and applause ]
What's the deal with Simon's glasses?
Do you mind if I get to try on your glasses?
Yeah. Try them.
These are special glasses for watching the acts.
* Suddenly I see *
Simon Vision!
* This is what I want to be *
Whoa, whoa!
Simon: Even Howie looks good.
They're magic.
So I look at my whole life now where everybody's good-looking.
Even youlook good-looking right now.
Now, not so much.
Simon: I think you look better, both of you.
Because you're wearing these glasses
that, like, make us look --
Yeah. You're right. [ Laughter ]
I don't want to get emotional about this, Sofía,
but these are for you.
Ohh!
I've always wanted a pair.
Heidi: Are those Simon colored glasses?
Oh, I love them. But -- They look good on me?
Don't answer. I know they look good on me.
Uh-oh.
[as Simon] I don't like it. I love it.
You see the world in a different color.
Everything is orange!
He's looking at oranges! He's eating oranges!
It's just orange!
* Why the hell it means so much to me *
You look like a tangerine.
[ Laughs ] Yeah. [ Laughs ]
Have you seen the glasses?
You look amazing!
* Why the hell it means so much to me *
[ Cheers and applause ]
This is horrible!
You all look like you're wearing a spray tan!
Oh. You are! [ Laughs ]
Now, Simon, why did you pick orange glasses?
I'll tell you why. Two reasons, Terry.
Number one, I get migraines.
Number two, I don't sleep well.
So I found these.
They are -- I swear to God. They are so good,
I am now making my own brand.
Terry: Oh! Sofía: Yay!
Simon: They are life-changing.
Well, I'm gonna get some of them, baby.
I'm gonna get that. Look at this. Okay.
Taking the stage next is a Grammy Award-winning,
multi-platinum superstar.
With the song "L-O-V-E,"
Give it up for the sensational Michael Bublé!
[ Cheers and applause ]

Sing it, now.

Now, Michael... [ Laughs ]
For our contestants,
you've been at the top for a long time.
How do you keep the passion for singing

Oh, I see!

Now, we know you have a lot of questions
that you'd love to put to the judges,
so recently we went out and gave some of the show's fans
the chance to ask whatever they wanted.
Check it out.
Oh, hi!
These are questions from the audience?
Simon, what do you miss most about England?
Rain.
What do you love most about Los Angeles?
The sun! I love the sun!
Howie, who is your comedian icon?
My comedian icon
is and always will be Richard Pryor.
Who talks the most at the judges' desk?
-Heidi. -Oh, it's got to be Heidi.
How do you get ready for a live show?
I like to dance a little bit
and get my nervous wiggles out.
* You make my dreams come true *
Hi, Simon. Do you like to dance?
Never.
Sofía, if you were a contestant on "AGT," what would you do?
I don't know. I don't really have any talents.
Maybe like a cake-eating competition?
I would yodel
and make meatballs at the same time.
[ Yodeling ]
Sofía, what's your dog's name?
Amore.
Sit! [ Gasps ] Good girl!
I think she has a big, big chance
of winning "AGT" next year.
Look who's here to say hello to you, Simon!
Oh, my God.
Little baby!
Okay. Keep her. I'm gonna do the show.
[ Smooches ]
[ Applause ]
Okay, Sofía, I'm confused.
Who is Amore's owner now?
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's mine.
Aww! Man!
But she loves Simon!
Simon, is it gonna be tough giving him away back to Sofía?
Uh, she's now my dog.
Ohh! [ Laughs ]
Sofía: We're gonna compete next season.
Well, you can buy Rhythm and let him Amore.
How about that? Yes! Okay, good.
Keep her. [ Laughs ]
Terry: Well, still to come tonight,
more incredible duets, more mash-ups,
we'll decide who's getting to keep Amore,
and we'll find out who's won!
Stay right there!

I'm here with the legendary Simone Biles.
Now, Simone, what would you say is
one of the most important ingredients for success?
Well, I'm here with the legendary Terry Crews,
and no matter how hard you train or practice,
you have to love what you do.
Now, I can vouch for that.
And one "AGT" finalist
who has always kept his love of singing alive
is Richard Goodall
all through his years of working as a school janitor.
At this year's "AGT" auditions,
Richard performed Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'"
and got the Golden Buzzer from Heidi Klum.
Winning "AGT" tonight
would be a dream come true for Richard,
but he's about to have another dream come true right now.
Performing "Don't Stop Believin'",
here is Richard Goodall
with Neal Schon and members of Journey!
[ Cheers and applause ]

Neal Schon and members of Journey!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Now, Neal, have you been following Richard on "AGT"?
We've been following.
Uh, we've been on tour for the last six months
and been watching this phenomenon.
He's an amazing singer, an amazing man,
and I'm proud to be here today for him.
And, Richard,
when you first sang that song at the auditions,
did you ever imagine
you would be on stage with your heroes?
Uh. No clue.
I mean, somebody just pinch me.
Just pinch me!
[ Cheers and applause ]
You just had one dream come true.
And this week, another came true for you.
You got married!
Oh, wow! Take a look at that!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Richard, how does it feel being a married man?
She is the love of my life.
I love her so much.
Heidi, what do you think about this?
Well, first of all,
congratulations to the two of you.
I mean, we always see the big hearts in your eyes.
I'm so, so happy for you, and I'm also so happy
that you got to perform live with these guys.
I mean, with Journey. How amazing.
How cool are you guys to come and do this together here today.
What a special moment.
Thank you so much, guys.
That was a real "AGT" moment.
One more time for Neal Schon members of Journey,
and Richard Goodall!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Okay.
One of my favorite comedians is Learnmore Jonasi --
obviously because he's my Golden Buzzer.
And he got the surprise of his life this week.
He was invited to open
for Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias in Las Vegas.
Check this out.
[ Cellphone rings ]
Sorry.
Sorry, man! [ Laughs ] Sorry.
Hello?
Yes. [ Laughs ] Who am I speaking to?
[Laughing] Oh, my G-- Oh, my God!
What?!
Thank you.
Yes, yes! [ Laughs ]
Y-Yes!
Yes, definitely! Oh my God. [ Laughs ]
Oh, my God!
Thank you. Alright. See you soon.
[ Laughs ]
Oh, my God! I talked to Fluffy, guys.
Fluffy.
Vegas, here I come!
This is -- This is a dream come true.
Woman: Yeah. Okay.
Okay. That's good.
Woman on P.A.: Please and thank you.
**
Okay, so I just landed in Las Vegas.
I am ready. I'm looking forward to this.
It's gonna be fire.
I'm at the venue right now.
I am at The Cosmopolitan.
Oh, wow. Fluff--
What?! [ Laughs ]
Oh, my God!
Ha! Look at that! Look at this, guys!
I've always dreamed of being
on a -- you know, like, a big, you know, that screen like that.
Like a marquee like that.
And today is the day.
[ Laughs ] Look at that!
**
[ Knock on door ]
Yeah? [ Chuckles ]
Fluffy: Open the door!
Fluffy! Oh, my God.
-Oh, my God, man. -How you doing?
Oh, good. It's so cr--
This is crazy. Man!
I already had insecurities about being short.
I didn't know you were thattall.
[ Laughs ] What are you talking about?
You should be Tallmore, not Learnmore.
Tallmore. [ Laughs ]
Well, welcome. Ahh.
Oh, my God. You know, this is a dream come true.
Honestly. Like... I appreciate you, man.
I really appreciate you. Yeah. No.
I was watching TV, and, uh, you know, I'm a fan of the show.
Yeah.
Comics are always the underdogs on "AGT"
because I feel like everybody's focused on the singers,
the magicians, the dancers. It's true.
And Simon's like, "Marvelous."
Love you, Simon.
I saw you go out there and I said, "You know what? Funny."
That means a lot. Very.
So I went online and, uh, you know, found you,
and I saw -- I saw you already following me.
Of course! Of course! I'm like, "Well! Well!"
"Clearly, the man recognizes pure genius!
He does."
The day I set out to do comedy
was when I was studying different comedians.
And I started...your special. Was it Comedy Central?
You were doing, "Hey, Fluffy!" You know? "Martin!"
You know? And I was like, "Oh, my God! I love this!"
And I've been studying you
like a student ever since and -- yeah.
You know, the irony is, the person you just said
right now -- "Martin!" --
that's who's bringing you up on stage tonight.
Ohh! I'm gonna meet Martin!
He's a -- He's a real person! He's a real person.
He's a real person. I didn't -- I didn't just make him up.
Uh, if I could give you any advice --
have as much fun as you can on stage.
If you're having fun, they're gonna have fun.
I-I appreciate that. Alright.
Thank you. Don't [bleep] up.
[ Laughs ] Wait. Whoa, whoa!
Fluffy: Hey! It's Martin!
Learnmore: I didn't know you were real!
Yeah. It's good to meet you.
Yeah, he's real. "He's real?
I didn't know he was real."
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Laughter ]
Martin: Uh, we gotta keep it rolling.
You ready for your next comedian?
[ Cheers and applause ]
We have a very special guest in the house for you.
Put your hands together and give it up
for Learnmore!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Learnmore: Yeah! Ha! Thank you! Thank you!
What's up, everybody?!
I've made so many sacrifices.
Sometimes, you know, it just feels like, you know,
you never get to the, you know, to the end of the tunnel.
But I'm right here.
I recently watched "The Lion King."
It didn't make sense to me.
I was watching, I was like,
"Why do these lions have American accents?"
[ Laughter ]
I wouldn't have imagined being on this stage today.
Ooh, my God. Thank you.
This was a great experience.
Actually, three days ago,
I wouldn't have imagined to be on this stage today.
This is crazy!
Feel alright? I...
I-I cannot even speak. [ Laughs ]
A lot is happening in my head.
And a lot of people just laughing at the same time.
That sound is amazing.
-You're gonna be great. -Thank you, bro.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Another dream comes true on "AGT."
And good luck to Learnmore tonight.
Okay, after the break, finalist Solange Kardinaly
and a lot of unbelievably good-looking men.
That's anotherperformance they didn't ask me to join!
We'll be right back!
[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause ]
Okay, in another "you'd only see this on 'AGT'" mash-up,
here's a finalist who's mastered the art of the quick change...
and a group of guys who do it nightly.
You'll see what I mean.
Please welcome Solange Kardinaly
and the cast of "Magic Mike Live Las Vegas."

And the men of "Magic Mike Live Las Vegas."
[ Cheers and applause ]
Now, Solange, when you first auditioned for "AGT,"
did you ever imagine
that you'd be performing at the finale?
Never imagined. This is a dream for me.
Thank you so much.
Now, guys, what do you want to say to Solange?
I mean, Solange, what a talent.
It's been a pleasure to share the stage with you tonight.
And we have no doubt that we'll see you performing
on the Las Vegas Strip sometime soon.
Okay, guys, I do have one more question for you.
Can you guys do this?
[ Cheers and applause ]
Wait. I gotta keep my job!
Stop doing it right now! [ Laughs ]
You can catch the guys at Sahara Las Vegas.

The 10 acts who battled to make the finale
can be so proud of what they've achieved.
Now, the result is getting closer.
In a few minutes, we're gonna start
revealing the results,
starting with who made the top five.
Just thinking about results makes me nervous.
I hear you.
First, we've got a very special performance
from some of the world's greatest gymnasts,
including Simone, so you better get warmed up!
Yes, I'm looking forward to it.
And, Simone, thank you so much

Now, Jordan, how different is it
performing with these amazing athletes
instead of competing against them?
It's honestly been an amazing experience,
and being able to be around such amazing athletes
has just been really fun.
Now, Paul, what do people who come to the show --
what can they expect to see?
If you thought that was amazing, you gotta come to the show.
You've got the greatest athletes in the world
doing their sport and a little bit of dancing, too.
Well, big, big thanks to all of you.

your audition --
Sorry. I've got chewing gum.
And your live-show performance
is gonna live online forever.
And I would say, genuinely...
Terry: Yeah.
...this is just one step, right?
As we heard from Simone and the gymnasts,
you know, it's about the hours you put in and the time.
If you've got that talent and nurture it, you know,
great things can and will happen.
So don't feel too down.
But I would say to all of you top five
huge congratulations for getting this far.
Take a good look.
These are the top five acts of the season.
They have dreamed of tonight for years.
They survived the auditions,
