'America's Got Talent' Judges on How Adding a Second Golden Buzzer Has Changed the Game (Exclusive)

'AGT' stars Sofia Vergara, Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Terry Crews spoke with ET about a new season 19 'evolution.'

ET spoke with the judges on the AGT red carpet ahead of the season 19 audition rounds, and they opened up about why the second Golden Buzzer rule is a real game changer. "I feel, as somebody who's been on the show for 15 seasons, I am probably the most jaded... [But] every year I am pleasantly surprised by somebody just blowing the roof off the place and dropping my jaw to the desk." And then, when we were given the opportunity to give Golden Buzzers, it was like it amped up the stakes that much more," shared Mandel, referring to the show's 10th season, when the new rule was first introduced.
