'AGT' Season 19: Watch Tyler Burke attempt archery with dire results

'AGT' contestant Tyler Burke was unable to successfully perform his archery act on the NBC show

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Archery expert Tyler Burke made quite an appearance on 'AGT' Season 19 Episode 6. Tyler kicked off his performance by setting a lasso on fire and skillfully twirling it around his body, leaving Judge Heidi Klum so startled that she jumped out of her seat and sought refuge behind the judge's desk.

While Tyler demonstrated his ability to catch a flaming arrow in his hand and expertly handle the lasso, he struggled to hit the bullseye with his bow and arrow.

Simon Cowell acknowledged that “half the act worked and half the act didn’t," ultimately leading him to give a no vote. However, Heidi Klum and Sofía Vergara were impressed enough to give Tyler a second chance.

Howie Mandel, on the other hand, made it clear that he would only give Tyler a yes if he could successfully hit the bullseye, which Tyler unfortunately failed to do. Despite the crowd's encouragement for Tyler to try again, he was unable to hit the mark on his second attempt, leading to a mixed response from the judges.

While Simon remained firm in his decision to say no, Sofía and Heidi both chose to advance Tyler to the next round. The final decision rested in the hands of Howie Mandel, who ultimately decided to give Tyler a third chance.

Unfortunately, Tyler's repeated failures to hit the bullseye led to Howie also giving him a no-vote, resulting in Tyler's elimination from the competition.

'AGT' Season 19 contestant Tyler Burke receives mixed feedback from fans

Tyler Burke, a contestant on Season 19 of 'America's Got Talent' (AGT), garnered a variety of reactions from fans for his risky and daring performance.

An X user said, "Damn this movie kind of sucks but it had a GREAT 3rd act."

Another user chimed in, "#AGT Ya that's a no on the whip-cracking, archer lumberjack. You got to be at the top of your game and he is not, bless him."

Who is Tyler Burke on 'AGT' Season 19?

Tyler Burke has achieved the Guinness World Record for catching the most arrows in a span of two minutes. He broke a record with the help of his brother Brandon, who directed the arrows at him during their audition for Season 10.

Despite aiming to break his own record, their act received the buzzer from Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Mel B, and Howie Mandel. The duo was eliminated from the competition after all four judges voted "No".

Tyler holds the Guinness World Record for catching the most arrows in two minutes while blindfolded. In 2013, he accomplished this feat on live television while filming 'Guinness World Records Unleashed', even though it was unrelated to the topic at hand.

Tyler and his older brother Brandon were invited to appear on 'AGT' two years later to showcase their unique talents, but their experience as guests on the show did not meet their expectations.

Tyler found their complicated experience to be unique but has not caught an arrow since. Despite being a full-time artist and photographer/cinematographer, they still occasionally practice archery.

Season 19 of 'America's Got Talent' premieres new episodes every Tuesday at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT on NBC. The season is available for streaming on Peacock, where episodes can be viewed the following day
