UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – Aug. 10, 2018 – “America’s Got Talent,” summer’s #1-rated and most-watched show, has revealed its top 36 acts, including three previously eliminated acts, brought back as “wild cards.”

On Tuesday, the first 12 acts of the top 36 will take the stage to perform for judges Simon Cowell, Mel B, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and host Tyra Banks. Viewers will be able to choose their favorite act by phone, on NBC.com, and via the AGT app (available on the App Store and Google Play). New this season Xfinity X1 customers will be able to vote via their set-top box during the live broadcast of the show by saying “Vote for AGT” into the X1 voice remote or by pressing the remote’s Info button.

The results show on Wednesday, Aug. 15 (8-9 p.m. ET/PT) will feature a performance by last season’s winner, Darci Lynne Farmer. The young singer/ventriloquist dazzled “AGT” audiences with her charming performances and undeniable talent.
