America’s Got Talent is shaking things up for Season 21 and introducing a new round known as Judges’ Callbacks.
Celebrity guest judges will join the judges’ panel to help out Simon Cowell, Sofía Vergara, Mel B and Howie Mandel make some big life-changing decisions.
After the “Live Acts Revealed” special on Tuesday, July 28, each judge will personally select a group of standout acts for one more performance, where they will compete for the remaining coveted spots in the live shows.
The two-week event will air on Tuesdays, Aug. 4 and 11 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, before the live shows kick off on Aug. 18.

Filmed in unique locations across Los Angeles and England, the Judges’ Callbacks round raises the stakes as contestants make one last push for the live shows and is reminiscent of Cowell’s The X-Factor and the Judges’ Houses round.
Simon Cowell will feature his Malibu home, where he will be joined by Normani, whom he once hosted at his home during The X-Factor USA as part of Fifth Harmony. Cowell will also be joined by songwriter and producer Poo Bear.
Mel B will host the AGT hopefuls in her hometown of Leeds, and reunite with her Spice Girls groupmate Emma Bunton.
Sofía Vergara will stay in sunny Beverly Hills and will be joined by singer Sebastián Yatra and content creator Lele Pons.
Howie Mandel’s podcast studio and the legendary Laugh Factory will be featured in the special episodes and will be joined by comedian Nikki Glaser, where 23 acts will showcase an exciting mix of talent, including powerhouse singers, dynamic dance groups, standout comedians, and unforgettable variety acts full of unexpected surprises.
Alongside their celebrity guest judge, each judge will work closely with their chosen acts, offering invaluable feedback and guidance as they prepare for one additional performance and their last opportunity to earn a spot in the live shows.
