    AGT Video: Sofia Vergara ‘Shocks the World’ With Her Second Golden Buzzer Pick — Did She Make the Right Choice?

    The power of the Golden Buzzer was enacted twice on Tuesday’s episode of America’s Got Talent , but only one time actually counted. Allow us to explain.

    Australian comedian Reuben Solo had already received three X’s from the judges, not to mention plenty of boo’s from the unimpressed audience, when he boldly stepped up to the panel and slammed his own hand down on the Golden Buzzer — an AGT first, as far as we’re able to remember. Despite a flurry of golden confetti falling from the ceiling, and even despite the show playing Queen’s “We Are the Champions” in response, Solo will not be sent through to the Season 19 live shows. Terry Crews even pretended to check an invisible rule book before declaring that Solo’s supposed victory didn’t count.

    Then came Japanese comedy duo Schumacher, whose entire act consisted of them crudely transforming into various animals using bodysuits, cheap Halloween masks and, in one case, a bit of masking tape. It was one of the simplest, silliest acts we’ve seen on the AGT stage in a long time, but the perfectly timed music cues and overall absurdist humor made for a winning combination.

    But no one was more impressed, or bewildered, than Sofia Vergara, who couldn’t even find the words to describe what she’d just seen on stage. “I’m very confused, because I thought it was ridiculous,” she said. “It’s like a nonsense … I don’t know what it is, but I really, really think you deserve this.” And just like that, she hit the Golden Buzzer in front of her, sending the unlikely pair straight to the live shows.

    Schumacher is now the ninth act to receive a Golden Buzzer in Season 19. Simon Cowell gave his pair to singer Liv Warfield and drone group Sky Elements , Heidi Klum gave hers to singers Richard Goodall and Pranysqa Mishra , and Howie Mandel gave his to dance group Brent Street and singer Reid Wilson . Meanwhile, Vergara has given one to dance group Legión, and Crews gave one to comedian Learnmore Jonasi.

    Do you think Vergara made the right call, or should her Golden Buzzer have been saved for an act that she actually could describe? Hit PLAY on the video above to watch Schumacher’s audition, then drop a comment with your honest review of the duo below.
