America’s Got Talent judge Sofía Vergara came under fire after she pressed her Golden Buzzer for an act that has been described as awful and mediocre. The current lineup of America’s Got Talent judges has been in place for the past five seasons. The talent competition series has seen numerous changes at the judges’ table over the years, with some of the more brash judges, like Piers Morgan, appearing early on in the show’s run. However, in recent years, the judges have become more positive and advance silly acts a lot more than they used to.
America’s Got Talent ‘s Sofía Vergara was criticized on social media for making a huge mistake with her most recent Golden Buzzer decision.
The America’s Got Talent season 19 auditions are almost over, but in the penultimate audition episode, Sofía used one of her two Golden Buzzers on an act called Schumacher, a comedy duo from Japan who put on horse, unicorn and giraffe costumes and made humorous poses. For some reason, Sofía thought this act was worthy of going all the way to the live shows, but the comments section of a recent America’s Got Talent post on Instagram proved her decision was a huge mistake.
America’s Got Talent fans didn’t hold back in their criticism of the actress and judge, with @Telliott14 calling Schumacher the “most undeserving” Golden Buzzer of the entire season. @__ashizzle__ called the act simply “awful.” While a lot of fans said the act was funny, basically no one thought it was worthy of a Golden Buzzer. @Chuckzar claimed the judges have too much power, since America’s Got Talent season 19 allows two buzzers per judge instead of one in previous seasons. “This is what happens when you give the judges multiple Golden Buzzers,” they explained. “It’s not even a winning act.”
