Tonight's episode of AGT saw the contestants giving it their all in the third round of auditions. Throughout the episode, judges and viewers witnessed a variety of talented participants and acts trying and impress them. While some hit the brief, others received the red X buzzer, sending them home.

The official synopsis of the episode, titled Auditions 3, reads:

"The auditions continue as a variety of acts featuring contestants of all ages audition for the chance to win the $1 million prize; the golden buzzer allows a lucky act the chance to go directly to the live shows to compete for America's vote."

Brynn Cummings, a 12-year-old, was the second AGT act to perform on stage. She was eight years old when her parents brought her a puppet, which ignited her fuel for ventriloquism. Ahead of her performance, the contestant even revealed that she was inspired by season 12 winner, ventriloquist Darci Lynne.

As she began her performance, Brynn instantly impressed the judges with her ventriloquism, accompanied by her squirrel puppet.

The AGT contestant guessed Howie's pick from the deck of cards, Sofia's oatmeal cookie from her purse, and Simon's Apple watch from the audience, correctly. She also received a standing ovation at the end of her performance by the judges as well as the live audience.

Sofia found her adorable and complimented her skills. Howie called season 18 the "season of mashups." He was stunned at Brynn pulling out ventriloquism as well as mentalism.
