Sethward makes history in 'AGT'
Allison began his journey in 'AGT' in Season 13. Even before he started his audition act in Episode 1303, the audience was booing and jeering for him to get buzzed off. His act consisted of shedding his caterpillar costume and donning one of a butterfly, portraying an actual caterpillar's metamorphosis. Unfortunately for Sethward, he "accidentally" exposed himself to the judges and the audience as there was a hole in his stockings. Howie Mandel, Mel B, Heidi Klum, and Simon Cowell all buzzed the act. All four judges voted "No," eliminating him from the competition.
But this wasn't the last time we saw him on the 'AGT' stage, Allison also returned for Season 14. This time he came dressed in a giraffe costume and told a story about how he was dropped on his head at birth. Howie Mandel, Gabrielle Union, Julianne Hough, and Simon Cowell all buzzed the act. While being dragged off the stage by host Terry Crews, he flashed the audience, once again. This time he appeared in the season once again as a walrus and received two "no" votes and two "yes" votes. Season 16 featured his next try-out, and Allison, to everyone's surprise, made it through the auditions thanks to his peacock costume. He advanced to the live shows, where he transitioned from a peacock to a phoenix. Simon X’ed him on live TV, and Allison was once again eliminated from the competition when even the audience failed to vote for him.
The Texas comedian most recently popped up on Season 17, where he emerged from his apple costume as a worm. After receiving three "no" votes, Crews pulled Sethward off the stage in the worm get-up, but he lost his pants, and he once again gave the audience a peek at his birthday suit.
Where is Sethward Now?
Allison is once again getting ready to appear on the show, as he will grace the 'AGT: All-Stars' stage in the upcoming February 6 episode. Collectively, Allison’s audition videos have raked in millions of views, and his career has risen after his stint on 'AGT'. He now has his own YouTube channel with 20 million views, where he regularly posts updates.
