Double Golden Buzzer Drama: Airfootworks Soars to America’s Got Talent Finals

As Airfootworks completed their breathtaking performance, Simon Cowell couldn’t resist lunging for the Golden Buzzer, even joking that he was risking his job. However, Howie Mandel, who was officially assigned the buzzer for the night, was quicker on the draw, pressing it just before Cowell could. The ensuing chaos, captured in a video replay, showed Mandel narrowly beating Cowell to the punch, leading to a lighthearted exchange as they both claimed victory in the moment.

The judges’ friendly rivalry added to the excitement, with Mandel joining Airfootworks on stage to praise their extraordinary talents, calling them “athletes, dancers, and magicians.” Cowell, still caught up in the energy of the performance, admitted he simply couldn’t resist being part of such a world-class act. With Airfootworks now secured a spot in the finals, the remaining contestants face a tough challenge, as only three more spots are up for grabs through audience voting, which will be revealed during a special episode on August 21st.
