How Does the New America’s Got Talent “Judges Callbacks” Twist Work?

But this year, AGTis trying something new. The next two weeks of shows will feature Judges Callbacks before the Live Shows begin on Aug. 18. The Judges Callbacks will have each judge revisit several acts before selecting one or two to fill the remaining spots.

Celebrity guest judges for the callbacks include Emma Bunton, aka Baby Spice, with Mel B, Normani and Poo Bear with Simon Cowell, Lele Pons and Sebastián Yatra with Sofía Vergara, and Nikki Glaser with Howie Mandel.
