America’s Got Talent season 16 kicks off on Tuesday (June 1) with at least fourteen acts, some are new, some are familiar, some are INSANE or INSANELY TALENTED. And yet, others will pull at the heartstrings. In other words, a typical AGT season. The entire cast is back: Howie Mandel, Sofia Vergara, Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell sit on the judges panel, while Terry Crews returns to host.
Simon missed a good chunk of the season last year after a terrible bike accident laid him up. But the doctors put him back together and he’s good as new.
Check out the list of acts auditioning on the premiere. And for a look at most of the acts viewers will meet this season check out our America’s Got Talent preview.
America’s Got Talent 2021 Auditions 1 Contestant List
- 1achord – Singing Trio – This college trio only got together a few months ago! AGT leaked their audition. Check it out HERE.
- Aiden Bryant – Aerialist – Only 16 years old, Aiden has been working with hoops and silks, inspired by P!nk. Instagram
- Brian Pankey – Juggler – He describes himself as a “celebrity juggler” who has performed on Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, the Gong Show and more. Instagram
- The Canine Stars – Dog Act – The act is a “global team of performing rescue dogs.” The outfit also runs a stunt dog school and youth mentorship. Apparently, the doggos are first in the lineup. Instagram Facebook
- Dustin Tavella – Magician – Virginia Beach magician does a routine that revolves around the sentimental story of how he adopted his son. See the preview HERE.
- Elektro Botz – Hip Hop Dancers – The group performed for the Utah Jazz halftime show. They also teach “master classes” to kids. And they put an album of music out in 2018 titled “Noize.” Instagram
- Ellariya and Karina – Hand Balancers – Watch them perform a “crazy foot balancing trick” in Las Vegas. (Video)
- Gerald Kelly & Lil Hunter Kelly – Comedian – Sneaky. NBC posted separate photos of Gerald and 7 year old Lil Hunter. As it turns out, they are a father/son comedy team. AGT will probably set them up so one comes out first, or something like that. Instagram Facebook
- Katie Kusiciel – Comedian – It’s hard to tell what she’s doing in the production still. It’s a spoof on American Ninja Warrior maybe? In any case, she’s basically a standup comedian. Facebook
- Keith Apicary – Comedian? Gamer? – He’s going to dance, or something. But mostly, he watches games on Youtube. As a joke, probably. Instagram
- Mr. Cherry and Chikki – Comedian – He describes himself as “Guinness World Records Record Breaker Comedian.” I think it has something to do with food, but his “comedic talents” seem to be wide ranging. He appears to be from Japan. Instagram
- Northwell Nurse Choir – This is the act that Howie said on the Today Show would make the audience cry. Quite obviously, it’s a group of singing nurses who endured a difficult year due to the pandemic. Despite it all, they’re here to lift our spirits. Instagram
- Peter Rosalita – Kid Singer – Peter is probably 7 or 8, as he recently received his first holy communion. He looks like an angel, doesn’t he? However, he appears to be something of a savant: here he is singing while reading sheet music. Instagram
- Sethward – Animal Impersonator – This will be Sethward’s third shot at AGT. And you know he keeps coming back because Simon loves him. His thing is doing weird stuff in weird animal costumes. Instagram
America’s Got Talent season 16 premieres Tuesday June 1 on NBC at 8 pm ET/PT.
