PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: ‘America’s Got Talent’ (AGT) Season 19 is just round the corner. As one waits for this talent hunt show, it is interesting to see how this season has leveled up in all ways possible.

Judges now have an extra golden buzzer, including the one with host Terry Crews. The show has been inclusive of all nationalities and has been more diverse than ever before. While comedies, dance, and singing performances blow the judge’s minds away, performances of stunts and other skills intrigue them further.

The Season 19 of 'AGT' will be nothing less than a roller coaster. With Sofia Vergara’s awkward silences to Simon Cowell’s scathing comments, this season will also be a hit. The new season has performances that beat the previous ones, and one can see more fun on the sets of 'AGT'.

Some historical moments can also be seen. Baby Dev becomes the first toddler to solve prodigal mathematics problems live on stage. Young children are seen in increased numbers for Season 19 of 'AGT'.

NBC has indeed hunted for talents that would fill our screens with life. As the performers remain unknown, meet the judges and hosts for ‘America’s Got Talent’ Season 19.
