The nineteenth season of the American talent show competition series America's Got Talent premiered on NBC on May 28, 2024. Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Sofía Vergara, and Simon Cowell all returned to the panel for their fifteenth, eleventh, fifth, and ninth respective seasons. Terry Crews returned as host for his sixth consecutive season.
The season was won by singer Richard Goodall, with dog tricks act Roni Sagi & Rhythm finishing second, and drone precision group Sky Elements placing third. This season averaged around 4.78 million viewers per broadcast.
Production During the finale of the previous season, it was announced that the entire main cast would return for the new season marking the fifth consecutive year the judging panel and host would remain the same. Filming of the auditions again happened at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in March and April 2024.
Sonic Drive-In ended its sponsorship with the series, having been its sponsor for the last three seasons before the start of this season. The current sponsor was revealed to be Lavazza as featured in the end credits and on all of the judge's cups during the live shows.
A two-week hiatus in the broadcast schedule was also made, to avoid the NBC's live coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics between July and August.
Season overview For the first time in the show's history, each judge was able to give two Golden Buzzers instead of the usual one. However, host Crews still only received one to give out. Furthermore, each judge was able to give out one Golden Buzzer during the live shows, making the first time on the American version of Got Talent.
