Season chronology |
The thirteenth season of American talent show competition series America's Got Talent was broadcast on NBC from May 29 to September 19, 2018.[1] The season saw no major changes to the program, with the guest judges for this season's Judge Cuts stage including Ken Jeong, Olivia Munn, Martina McBride, and Chris Hardwick.[2]
The thirteenth season was won by close-up magician Shin Lim, with acrobatic group Zurcaroh finishing second, and electric violinist Brian King Joseph placing third. During its broadcast, the season averaged around 11.15 million viewers.
Season overview[]
Open auditions were held in late 2017, within Orlando, Cincinnati, Savannah, Milwaukee, Houston, Las Vegas, New York City, Nashville, and Los Angeles,[3] with producers also accepting online auditions.[4] As with the previous year, the judges' auditions were held and filmed in March at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles.[5] The Judge Cuts stage of the competition saw the involvement of actor and comedian Ken Jeong, actress Olivia Munn, singer Martina McBride, and comedian Chris Hardwick.[2] There were no major changes made to the program in any aspects, but Simon Cowell was given allowances to halt the performances of two participants - both singers - during the Judge Cuts and asking them to do a different song, after he disliked each singer's original choice.
Of the participants who auditioned for this season, 36 secured a place in the live quarter-finals, with twelve quarter-finalists in each one - amongst these included: acrobatic Zurcaroh, singer Michael Ketterer, singer Courtney Hadwin, singer Amanda Mena, singer Makayla Phillips,[2] who had each received a golden buzzer from the main judges and host; choir Voices of Hope, choir Angel City Chorale, ballroom dancers Quin and Misha, rapper Flau’jae,[2] who had each received a golden buzzer from the guest judges; and opera singer Daniel Emmet, novelty water-spitting act Human Fountains, multimedia performance group Front Pictures, who were chosen as WildCard quarter-finalists. Around 22 quarter-finalists advanced to and split between the two semi-finals - including Front Pictures, chosen again by the judges, this time as their WildCard semi-finalist - with 10 semi-finalists securing a place in the finals. The following below lists the results of each participant's overall performance in this season:
