America’s Got Talent (AGT) is currently airing season 18 and features unique and exceptional talent worldwide. The judges of the current season include Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara who critique the live performances and decide on the acts proceeding to the next round.

Joining them on the show as a host is actor Terry Crews, who has been on the show since 2019. The Brooklyn Nine-Nine star has a net worth of $25 million.

During the NBC show, Terry and the rest of the judges have an opportunity to send one performer each straight to the live shows by awarding them the esteemed Golden Buzzer. Ever since he appeared on the show as a host, the 54-year-old has pressed the golden buzzer for eight performers.
