'AGT' Season 17 on NBC: Who is Dino Don? Former 'Shark Tank' contestant auditions for talent-hunt show
A stint on 'America's Got Talent' can be life-changing, no matter the outcome. While the winner gets to take home a million dollars and an opportunity to perform a headliner act in Las Vegas, the other contestants manage to get free publicity and a platform to showcase their talents to the world. In order to win the coveted prize, the performer needs to impress the judges - Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, and the show's audience.
As the talent hunt show is all set to make a comeback with an all-new audition episode of Season 17, get ready to watch some very exciting and wild acts that will blow your mind away. One of the performers hoping to sweep off the judges' and audiences' feet is Dino Don aka Don Lessem with his life-sized dinosaurs. 'Shark Tank' fans may recognize Dino Don as one of the pitchers on the hit ABC show, who managed to impress Mark Cuban and closed a deal with the billionaire Shark. Will Dino Don manage to impress Mark's equally critical peer judge- Simon on 'AGT'? We will just have to wait and watch. In the meanwhile, you can read up all about Dino Don here.
