America’s Got Talent rolls into its fifth round of auditions this Tuesday, June 24, at 8:00 PM ET on NBC, continuing its two-decade run of finding the country’s next big thing. Season 20, Episode 5, Auditions 5, presents a mix of heartfelt aspirations and unexpected turns, including a reality TV star looking for a new platform.
This week’s collection of hopefuls includes a Kentucky truck driver who has traveled a long way to chase a dream on the AGT stage. There is also a roller-skating aerial act, which comes with a direct link to judge Simon Cowell’s past—a connection that could either help or hinder their chances with the notoriously direct critic.
But the real eyebrow-raiser for many will be the appearance of Vanderpump Rules personality Tom Sandoval. Known more for his on-screen dramas than his singing, Sandoval is taking a shot at performing, hoping to show audiences a different side of himself beyond the restaurant world.
As always, the program features a wide range of performers—singers, dancers, comedians, and acts that defy easy classification—all competing for a $1 million prize and the chance to call themselves an American sensation.
