‘America’s Got Talent’ Season 21 Finale Is All Set

The final episode of America's Got Talent Season 21 is in motion after viewers cast their votes and six acts were chosen for the grand finale. The contestants include an animal act called Acro Canine Crew, a dance group known as Come Here, magician Geno Ploeger, animal act Olivia Befus, laser dance act Royal Lasers, and aerial pole performer Veronika Goroshkova. Rapper Luke Taleno from Cuba and singer Travis Garland from Dancing with the Stars did not make the cut.

Four acts, Hundred Fingers (magic group), Lai Noelle (singer), Nene Royal (singer/musician), and Unitree (robots), were pre-announced as Golden Buzzer winners. All six finalists will compete alongside these four during the two-night finale of America's Got Talent season 21. Night one of the finale airs next Tuesday, September 22, while the winner and results will be revealed on the following night, Wednesday, September 23.

The ultimate prize for the winner is a million dollars and a headline performance at a Las Vegas live show.

The season introduced a new Judges' Callbacks round, allowing certain performers to perform a second time before the judges' decision. Judges also gained an expanded total of 10 Golden Buzzers to use during the competition. Judges Howie Mandel, Sofía Vergara, and Melanie "Mel B" Brown from the Spice Girls, along with Simon Cowell, contributed to the decision-making process.

Cowell recently underwent surgery and was temporarily absent from judging duties. Heidi Klum and Kenan Thompson took over for Cowell in the recent weeks.

Season 21's semifinals aired on Wednesday night, September 16, on NBC, and welcomed back Chris Turner, the improv rapper who finished second in the talent quest's 20th season.
