After a two-week hiatus, America's Got Talent returns with the first of four Live Quarterfinal rounds in the weeks leading up to the Final.
After eight rounds of Auditions and a two-week hiatus for the Paris Summer Olympics, America's Got Talent Season 19 is officially kicking off the Live Shows round of competition with Tuesday, August 13's Quarterfinals episode.
Tonight's two-hour event — beginning at 8/7c — marks the first of four Quarterfinal rounds, which will each see 11 Acts perform for a live audience and Judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Simon Cowell. By the end of the night, one Act will receive a Live Show Golden Buzzer from a Judge, sending them directly to the Final.
America's Vote will then open up, with the three Acts with the highest votes advancing to the Semifinal. These results will be revealed during Wednesday night's results shows, airing a 8/7c.
