PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Due to an unexpected choice, Sofía Vergara's second Golden Buzzer from the 'America's Got Talent' Season 19 auditions, Schumacher, guaranteed the comic team a spot in this round. They now have renewed faith that they can win the show, since they never imagined they could win the Golden Buzzer, and then they did.

On the August 20 broadcast, Sofía put her head in her hands as Simon Cowell, unimpressed, pushed his red X buzzer midway through their performance. Sofía stated that she supported them and would make the same choice again because they are "unique and fun," after being prodded to speak by the other judges.

Simon anticipated it would develop "into something great, but didn't," adding that "it was funny the first time."

This is an act that is most likely most effective on social media, where they have a sizable fan base. Silliness is dispensed in little, ridiculous portions. It isn't truly an act that can be developed into a theatrical production.

Unbelievably, the second time was even more foolish. According to Heidi Klum, it's so horrible, but it's good. Howie Mandel thinks it's because they constantly wind up with their faces in each other's intimate areas and that it's about "friendship".

'AGT' Season 19 group Schumacher was formed a decade ago

Schumacher is a Japanese novelty duo made up of Ryu Taro and Yuya Gomi. Prior to participating in the show, the couple had never traveled to America.

Since 2014, the pair had only performed in Japan, and this was their first appearance in front of an audience outside of Japan. The two met in school in Japan. Yuya works as an automotive engineer, while Ryu is still a student.
