Getty 'America's Got Talent: The Champions'
The finals for America’s Got Talent: Champions season two starts tonight, Feb 10, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. The episode will feature performances from the four Golden Buzzer acts as well as the six performers from the semi-finals.
On Feb 17, 2020, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, the finale for season 2 of AGT Champions will take place and the winner will be crowned by host Terry Crews.
The episode synopsis for the Feb 17 episode reads: “In the finale, the ultimate Champion is crowned in front of judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Alesha Dixon, and Howie Mandel. Special guests take the stage with our finalists for memorable performances. “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star Terry Crews hosts.”
Cowell told Parade.com that he felt more comfortable judging the show this season compared to season one of the show.
“If it was people you had seen before, had they got better?” he said. “For the people coming from other countries, are they as good as the acts we found here? So, mentally, I was in a slightly different place and I found it easier to judge it that way. I think the people who will end up winning or in the top three are people who have done something better than they have done before.”

AGT Champions works differently than regular seasons of AGT in that the voting is not completed live by the fans. Instead, the contestants who advanced from each round was determined by the judges and a “select group of ‘superfans.'”
The entire spin-off show is prerecorded, so it’s not possible for voting to take place live. That means the winner had already been chosen before season two had even begun airing.
The superfans were chosen in a way that represented all 50 states; they voted in a controlled environment after watching the show live.
