America’s Got Talent season 19 kicks off Tuesday evening with a whole new slate of performers who are set to be bigger and better than ever before!

Host Terry Crews returns to emcee the wild and raucous audition rounds, alongside returning judges Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara and Simon Cowell.

This season is set to be jam-packed with surprises and special moments.

Especially since the show will be turning things up a notch with the addition of a second Golden Buzzer opportunity per judge!

In the lead-up to Tuesday’s big premiere, NBC promised fans that this season will feature “some of the wildest acts” to ever be featured on the long-running show.

As well as fan-favorite acts like comedians, magicians and dance groups. Season 19 will also feature the youngest AGT act ever.

Will tonight be the night that fans get to see the youngest performer ever give it their best shot on the America’s Got Talent stage? Follow along with ET throughout the season 19 premiere as we break down all the most memorable and monumental moments of the night! 

Richard Goodall is a quiet, nervous and unassuming man from Terre Haute, Indiana. He’s 55, a father and works as a janitor, but always had dreams of singing that he never felt comfortable pursuing.

When he takes the stage, he’s got a palpable anxiety, but a determination to push through, and when asked what he’ll be singing and why, he says that the song will speak for itself.

The song turns out to be “Don’t Stop Believing.” And Richard turns out to be incredible.

The song is a karaoke standard for a reason — it’s almost impossible to listen to and not root for whoever is singing. It’s impossible to not root for life itself and all of its magic.

That feeling of magic and wonder is exactly what Richard brings to the stage, and he’s met with a resounding cheer from the entire theater, bringing him to tears.

“Richard, you are my hero. ‘Cause that was special, genuinely special,” Simon marvels. “I think America is gonna love you.”

“I mean, that was spectacular,” Heidi gushes. “That was fun. This was an amazing surprise. I think you were perfect to come to AGT because you made our night.”

Heidi was so moved by Richard, in fact, that she used her first Golden Buzzer to make his dreams come true.
