The third episode of America’s Got Talent (AGT) Season 17 is all set to welcome new acts for the third day of auditions. Some of the contestants in the lineup include ventriloguist Jack Williams, NFL Players Choir and dance group Urban Crew Flyers. Episode 3 of AGT is all set to air on June 14, 2022, at 8 pm ET on NBC.
The process to qualify for the next round will be to impress the judges’ panel, consisting of Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Howie Mandel. The majority of the four should say “yes” to an act in order to let it proceed. If any act receives the Golden Buzzer from host Terry Crews or either one of the judges, then it is guaranteed to qualify for the live semi-finals.
The first two episodes had golden buzzer moments, but will the streak continue in episode 3? Only time will tell.

Crews said:
"There’s no need to vote. Avery, you touched the heart of every human being in this building right now. I want to tell you, you’ve been bullied all your life, but you tell every bully that you have a big brother named Terry Crews, who has your back, and all those bullies are going to have to watch you succeed.”
In episode 2, 11-year-old Madison Taylor Baez received the Golden Buzzer from Howie Mandel. The kid first sang as an audience member during a commercial break, which is when Simon Cowell heard her as he was returning to his judge’s seat from backstage. The judges and audience then asked Baez to audition on stage.
After her soulful singing, when members in the audience chanted for the Golden Buzzer, Howie Mandel obliged:
“I’m gonna do something. From the audience seat right to the live show.”
Both Madison and Avery will now appear directly in the show’s semi-finals. America’s Got Talent (AGT), Season 17 airs a new episode every Tuesday at 8 pm ET on NBC.
