Stern was out last year. I think gna is referring to Tyra Banks instead of Nick Cannon.
I hate that role on the show anyway. They just stand there and get shots of them reacting and saying, "Damn, That **** is wack." lol

Not another teen movie reference.

Close-up magic wow (no idea), singing clown, robot song and dance (Alec Benjamin - "I Built a Friend) , little girl ventriloquist song singing Summertime (does that hurt her throat?), spinning dancers, two escape artists lol
That's entertainment!

Judges (strangely all foreign?) and new host , blah.
Make that new comedian guy, Preacher, the host, imo.
(impersonator guy can go even if he is mocking)

Episode 2.

The roller skate couple was awesome. Her head was flying full speed like 1/4 inch from the ground each time.

The 9 year old girl singer was amazing!

The guys with the nails and shovel were insane!

The profiler/mind reader was great.

okay, the forensic mind reader was pretty good, but he's telling the audience to yell any color - some will pick white, so he just says that...some will pick cat, so he just says that, and so on...and he had the white cat with the name Oscar on it it the box before - but he knew what color, animal, and name he was going to pick. Obviously.

True but he gave each of the judges 2 choices to pick from one assigned to each hand and to think the word for the hand that contained the coin. When he assigned them he didn't know which hand they had the coin in.

He did know which hand they were in when he assigned them. I knew how to do the hold up a coin and I'll tell you which hand it's in when I was about 8 and could've done this trick.

My favorite act of the night. Once she started singing nothing else (being deaf or barefoot to feel the vibrations) ceased to matter.

Whichever knuckes are whiter is the one with the coin because subconsciously people will hold the coin tighter than the other fist. Then there are a few other things to look for but that's usually good enough. It was a long time ago so maybe there was more to it but I think it was exactly the same as what he did. But from there obviously once he knows what hand it's in he assigns white oscar and cat to that hand.

When I just looked up different ways to do it I only saw one that said look at the knuckles but that way required the hand holding the coin to be held over your head so I may have been wrong. Either way I'm sure it's not too difficult.

I usually don't like magicians on AGT because usually they're just doing simple tricks that aren't their own. I did love the close up magic guy the first episode though and the couple from last year.

There's also a way to 100% know which hand the coin is in.

Episode 3

The Limbo girl was cool.
The 2 guys in front of the screen were awesome. How the hell did they do that stuff?
The comedian. Are you serious? He was the worst ever.
The singing voice impression guy was ok.
The family with the dogs was awesome.
