Is Tom Sandoval joining ‘AGT’? ‘Vanderpump Rules’ star sparks rumor after fans spot him backstage
The controversial ‘Vanderpump Rules’ star Tom Sandoval surprised ‘AGT’ viewers when he appeared on the screen during one of the previews. Fans quickly captured the moment, showing him dressed in a green sequinned jacket with a black shirt underneath and white makeup around his eyes. The clip caught a glimpse of the reality TV star sitting backstage, most likely awaiting his turn to audition. Although ‘AGT’ has yet to release an official clip of Sandoval’s audition, eagle-eyed fans gave away a huge spoiler. Besides the controversies, he’s known as a musician who also has his own band, ‘Tom Sandoval and The Most Extras.’
A Reddit user shared a snap of him from the preview clip and shared it on the platform. “WHAT IS HE DOING HERE. I saw a quick glimpse and in my head I was like oh no,” the user added. Another fan compared Sandoval being ‘AGT’ to ‘The Office’ character Andy Bernard auditioning for a singing show. “It’s giving Andy Bernard on America's Next A Cappella Sensation,” the internet user added. “On a talent show with no talent. How dreadful!” a third social media user reacted. If Sandoval is there for his audition, it wouldn’t be the first time for him to show his vocal prowess on reality shows.
He’s previously appeared on ‘The Masked Singer’ under the disguise called Diver. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it past the second week and was unmasked after his performance. While on the show, he sang Journey’s ‘Any Way You Want It’ and ‘I Ain’t Worried’ by OneRepublic. Sandoval has also appeared on the beloved reality show, The Traitors, where contestants live under one roof with a few faithful and some traitors in disguise. “That's insane lol. He's gotta be running out of reality shows to sign up for, right? There's definitely a finite amount haha,” one Reddit user wrote about Sandoval auditioning for ‘AGT.’
