'AGT' Season 19: Watch Simon Cowell take a dig at Sofia Vergara as Borah the Witch plans to buy broom worth $1M
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: On June 11, a witch took the stage on 'America's Got Talent' and performed a remarkable dance. Even before the act could be completed, the witch was buzzed off the stage, and for our fellow judges, it was a moment to throw jabs at each other.
The judges were next met by comedy performer Borah the Witch, who brewed a potion on stage but failed to convince either the judges or the audience. He stated that if he won the 'AGT' prize money, he would get a new broom.
"Sofia, don't you have a spare one," Simon Cowell remarked, mocking his fellow judge.
'AGT' fans upset about BORAH the Witch getting interrupted
Despite his attempts to cast a hex on everyone in the audience, the witch was buzzed and booed off the stage.
Fans on X noted, "The witch has been watching @SimonCowell very closely #AGT!" Another person demanded, "I want the witch to come back next year… PLEASE… AND NO BUZZING."

One user wondered, "WTF did this witch come from?!" Frustrated viewers who couldn't see what the witch was making owing to the judges' buzzer, they tweeted, "And we never knew what the witch was going to make."
And we never knew what the witch was going to make. #AGT
