A Second Chance on America’s Got Talent: One Act Receives a Golden Buzzer
America’s Got Talent, a beloved reality show, has captivated millions of viewers over nearly two decades. Numerous intriguing facts about the show have emerged, from judge Howie Mandel’s past to the actual prize money awarded to winners. Recently, the show’s long run led to a special reunion of sorts.
The show recently featured two returning acts from its extensive history; one achieving a significant milestone.
The Messoudi Brothers’ Triumphant Return and Golden Buzzer Win
Many view auditions on America’s Got Talent as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. However, some exceptionally talented performers earn a second chance. The Messoudi Brothers, who previously competed in season 14, returned to the stage during season 20.
Despite the immense pressure, the Messoudi Brothers delivered an outstanding performance, culminating in a coveted Golden Buzzer. Their prior appearance in season 14 had taken them to the semifinals.
According to reports, the brothers’ acrobatic skills were honed from a young age by their performer father, beginning their training around the age of two or three.
In June 2025, the brothers’ return captivated audiences. A Facebook video showcased their impressive performance, leading Mel B to award them the Golden Buzzer.

Mel B’s enthusiasm wasn’t singular; Sofia Vergara also expressed her desire to award a Golden Buzzer. Simon Cowell playfully chided Vergara for her delayed reaction.
To understand the judges’ enthusiasm, one must consider the brothers’ performance. The Facebook video revealed a unique and daring act. While initially a trio, only two brothers performed this time, explaining that their third sibling chose to stay home to care for his family and that this performance involved a higher risk level.
The act began with knife juggling, escalating into a breathtaking display of skill and coordination. As they juggled, they removed their clothing, tossing it to each other among the knives.

Alex Zinger’s Improved Performance
