PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: During the third episode of 'America's Got Talent' Season 19, the judges were introduced to a new contestant named Scufflemoss Treemen, who was wearing a costume. 

Scufflemoss Treeman, clad in a frightening ensemble, stepped onto the stage to perform a dance routine to the tune of 'Jingle Bells'.

After his performance, Sofia Vergara expressed her disappointment, exclaiming, "Aye it's not Halloween!" In a light-hearted moment, Heidi Klum compared Scufflemoss to Howie, eliciting a chuckle from the audience.

Unfortunately, Scufflemoss did not receive a positive response from the judges and failed to impress them with his performance. Unfortunately, despite his unique performance, Scufflemoss did not get judges' approval and his journey on the NBC show ended there.
