William Close.
There has never been a stiffer competition.
There has never been more talent.
It is the best final ever.
This is it.
A million dollars is literally one performance away.
Live, it's America's Got Talent, the finals! Please welcome your host, Nick Cannon! Welcome to America's Got Talent.
It's the finals! After weeks of performances, judging, and voting, we are down to the top six.
You couldn't pick more different acts.
We've got Latino dancers, we've got dancing dogs.
The world's biggest string instruments, two artists and a comic.
So tonight they are all taking the stage for the biggest performance of their lives.
One performance for one million dollars, yes! And, the winner will headline a show at the Venetian-Palazzo in Las Vegas.
We've got a sensational night ahead.
Speaking of sensational, here are the three people who found all of the finalists in the audition, the America's Got Talent judges, give it up for Howie Mandel.
Sharon Osbourne! And Howard Stern! - It's a good one.
- People love it, Nick.
Yes, they do.
Okay.
Here we go.
This is for $1 million.
Are you guys ready for the finals? Every time the first finalist has taken the stage, he's created unforgettable paintings and some of the biggest surprises we've had on this show.
From Sacramento, California, here's David Garibaldi and his CMYK's.
It's a feeling to go through.
It's been a long, long journey to get here.
So we're very, very blessed.
Thank you.
I was emotional on stage, and I was thinking about my son and my wife.
They are everything to me.
I would really like to see my husband accomplish the goal that he's after.
I probably am really emotional because I'm pregnant.
This is a time where creativity goes in hyper speed.
This is a moment to bring it to life.
This is the moment to bring it.
Creatively we just want to go to a place where no one's gone before.
He is a tremendous artist, and the way he presents it is phenomenal.
You never know what the final image is going to be until the end.
I want to win this incredibly bad, and I want to win it because I want to motivate people.
I want to inspire people.
This is it for us.
This is it.
David Garibaldi and his CMYK's.
Outstanding job.
Step on over here.
I know it's full of paint.
Howard, how did they do? It was an outstanding job.
I was critical the last time of your artwork.
I said the Statue of Liberty looked like this.
And, you know, again, I have to say this piece of art I would hang in my home.
You know, we have to remember that this is art, whether or not we like it, it appeals to us.
This is fabulous.
I had no idea what you were painting.
Einstein and I have the same hair, not the same brain, but the same hair.
So I admire it.
You did a great job.
What a finale we're having.
It's pretty incredible.
Super talent.
Sharon? Well, Howard, Einstein and I have the same mustache.
But anyway - But you wax yours and I admire that.
- Thank you.
- Einstein never did.
- ***, but anyway it was amazing, and you know what you did, you listened to Howard last week, what he was saying about the timing, Howard last week what he was because I'm going this is going to be over and you haven't finished anything yet.
And you kept us waiting and waiting and waiting, and it was worth it.
It was fantastic.
I can't think of a better way to start this finals than with that.
Each and every time you come out you present what you do in such a different way.
And not only what you do, but you reveal, what you're able to produce, and we don't see it coming.
Congratulations on the reproduction, too.
Clearly it was intense.
You're up here sweating purple paint.
Tell me, why did you choose Einstein as your last portrait? Einstein is a symbol of creativity and innovation, and that is a goal for us to present art in that way, art for all people.
Outstanding.
Okay.

Coming up.
I've been at this for 25 years.
I've been scratching and clawing.
I want to be the first comedian to win America's Got Talent.
Now we are going to the final dance.
We can win this.
Welcome back to America's Got Talent, the finals.
Live from the east coast! Tonight, six acts are performing for $1 million.
We'll find out who has won tomorrow at 8/7 central.
It's gonna be a sensational night.
And whoever wins will be headlining a live show at Venetian-Palazzo and it starts September 26th in Las Vegas.
And it's also gonna star some of your favorite acts from this season.
So go to NBC.
com/agt for tickets, dates and the whole nine yards.
Here's our next finalist.
He's a comedian that gets more laughs in 90 seconds than anyone on the planet.
From Stony Point, New York.
Here's Tom Cox.
There is no way I would be where I am right now without the support of my wife and my children.
If you were a gambling man, who would you bet on? I'd bet on you.
My boys screamed so loud for me.
I've been at this for 25 years.
I've been scratching and clawing and telling jokes.
So to win America's Got Talent, it would definitely mean a new life for my family.
We're living check to check, literally.
So, thank God our prayers really have been answered and our dream is coming true.
And this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
In the history of America's Got Talent there's never been a comedian to make it this far.
He can take the $1 million.
If Nick announces my name as the winner, he'll need a restraining order to keep me off of him.
I will manhunt him to death.
It will get ugly.
Good evening.
Tonight, I am literally rolling the dice with my act.
Niklas you're being handed a comedy cube by my lovely assistant.
It has six topics, six different sets.
Please give it a roll for me.
Incoming.
Nice.
The topic for tonight, poor examples.
How appropriate.
I think we are poor examples for our children sometimes.
I know I am.
We don't mean to be.
You tuck your kid into bed at night, what is the last thing you say? Don't let the bedbugs bite.
Oh, no potential for nightmares there, is there? The last image you're puttinginto your kid's head before he goes to sleep is being attacked by insects.
Pleasant dreams.
Or lady bug, lady bug, fly away home, your house is on fire, your children are gone.
Who writes this stuff? Steven King? I met an old woman who swallowed the fly.
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
Perhaps she'll die.
Another heart warming story for the kids.
Weird images we put in their heads.
Like Beauty and the Beast.
Remember the story? The girl falls in love with a yak.
Or a water buffalo, whatever the hell that thing was.
It was huge, hairy, had horns, and it was wrong on many levels.
Sleeping Beauty, remember the story? The girl passes out, and the guy starts kissing her.
That's illegal ladies and gentlemen.
Georgy porgy puddin' pie.
Kissed the girls and made them cry.
Sexual harrassement.
Sexual assault.
Rub-a-Dub-Dub, Three Men in a Tub.
Oh, that's a good image for the kids.
Why don't we have a picture of them, wavering each other up, wouldn't that be nice for Little Billy.
For the better part of 50 years, Donald Duck has been walking around in front of his nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie, with a shirt on, no pants! Explain that.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
You remember Snow White? Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
One hot chick and seven middle-aged dwarves.
That's an adult film ladies and gentlemen.
Everyday they go off to work, and call her a prostitute.
Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho.
That's not right.
I'm Tom Cotter, you're awesome.
Everyone's on their feet.
Howie I think they're saying what I would like to say.
you have been scrapping and clawing for 25 years, Tom.
You said that in the past.
And I'll tell you something, you just scratched and clawed your way to the top tonight.
Howard.
I'm going to confess something.
There are times even though our acts get 90 seconds, there are times I sit here even in the finals and say I wish it wouldn't be over already.
With you, more than anyone on this stage, and this is the absolute God's honest truth, you always leave me wanting more.
You are amazing.
You're a terrific comedian, and in my book, a comedian deserves to win America's Got Talent, and it should be you.
Sharon? Yes, Tom.
First time we've ever had a comic in our finals and I congratulate you for getting as far as you got.
But I know that there's a whole lot further that you're going to be going.
I want to thank you for being here with us, because you really are a very funny guy and I'd love to see you when you've got a drink in you.
I bet it's filthy, and I love it.
Filthy.
You've been trying to get to this level for, you said, over 25 years.
In your heart, what would it mean to win this whole thing? It would mean the world to me, it would mean the world to my family.
And you've taken the defibrillator and jacked it into my career.
I can't thank you enough for that.
No words for that, really.

It's the finals, and we are live from the east coast.
Head's up, you can see all six finalists tomorrow morning on "The Today Show" on NBC, and on Friday morning, they'll have our winner.
Maybe it will be this next act from Miami Florida.
It's all about super charged energy, and sizzling, hot, latin dance.
It's The Untouchables.
Thank you to the judges for making us go to the finals, because I love you.
I have the crying gene.
Last year I was always crying.
So I just didn't realize that she had gotten it.
The untouchables! When he said The Untouchables first, we were all so amazed.
I don't have any tears left.
The untouchables are at a level of such professionalism.
They have to deliver an unforgettable performance.
We're in the finals now.
We only have like four days to prepare.
They go back again.
Some days you guys want to go, and some of these children are going to be dancers, because that always happens.
And you're going to be showing all of this to your children.
You will see.
I really believe that this is your moment, Untouchables.
The untouchables! Outstanding job.
Sharon, you gave them a standing ovation.
I did give them a standing ovation.
And Ruby and the untouchables, you excelled yourselves tonight.
It was so quick, so in your face.
It was fantastic.
And you've shown us every source of dance from salsa to tango and now I think it was driving, wasn't it? It was fantastic.
Did you a little something there.
You should be so proud of yourselves.
You are unbelievable.
You were on a stage with adults and here you are teenagers and under, under, under, well done.
- 8 years old, Ruby.
- Thank you.
Mr.
Mandel? I agree with everything she says.
You are far beyond your years and your skill and everything, and even I hear that you trash your hotel rooms like middle-aged rockers.
But the thing is and I'm going to be honest with you.
I think you're fantastic and you're great.
I don't know if I love this routine as much as I loved the last one.
I'm just saying.
He's just saying.
Howard? I'm thinking about 8-year-olds running around with a million dollars.
That would be really unbelievable.
Can you imagine how out of control they'll be? Every line tonight was perfect.
Every move perfection.
I think you did a fabulous job.
It's hard to believe your age and this level of perfection.
Good for you.
Nice job.
Okay, Ruby.
So what would you do with a million dollars? I mean we're in the finals.
I can't believe that we're in the finals.
I really want America and the judges to pass us through because what better people to represent America on America's Got Talent as the winner than kids? - We're the future of America.
- You're right.
Sounds like a million dollars statement to me.

This is America's Got Talent, the finals.
Here's our fourth finalist.
He's an artist from Richmond, Kentucky, who uses sand to create extraordinary pictures.
Here's Joe Castillo.
I think the sand story are life changing.
You never seize to amaze me.
Not in my wildest imagination did I ever think that I would be in the finals.
I'm so proud of you.
My wife, Cindy, is incredibly special.
She's always believed in me.
The very first time I saw Joe share his sand story, I knew he would wow the world.
Joe's stories touch people's hearts, and I'm very proud of him.
I love telling stories with sand.
But now the sand is kind of writing my story and my future.
It's so creative, so unique what he does.
What journey is he going to take us on now? Being here is incredibly special.
So tonight I'm going to do a performance that is a tribute to the show that has radically changed my life.
Joe Castillo! Howard, he How are you finally put a beret on your head? You know, Joe, yes.
I think this is terrific.
I'm going to tell you, listen, you're a true artist.
You're great.
That is sand that he's working with and it's pretty amazing.
I thought maybe you had a little trouble in the beginning.
I thought Nick was Obama, it looked a little like.
People say that all the time.
Yeah, I wasn't sure.
Sharon looked Asian, I got a little nervous there.
But I've got to tell you something, you are remarkable and I'm glad you're in the finals, absolutely.
Who knows what's going to happen.
What a terrific night we're having.
That looks like 80's Howard Stern.
Or maybe Desnyder.
Is that really me? Okay.
All right.
Mr.
Mandel? I've got to be honest with you.
I'm so moved.
Every week you've done an inspirational story in sand, and this is the plight of the judges.
People don't realize that we are so interchangeable, you can just get rid of us like this and then there is a new judge.
People don't realize, and you touched my heart.
It was a beautiful message.
Sharon? Yes, Joe.
You know, you're brilliant at what you do.
I would have, however, liked it better if you had done something more spiritual again.
But it was great fun.
You behave.
Behave, Howie, otherwise you get the finger in your ear.
Okay, okay.
You two calm down.
I wet the finger.
If you want Joe Castillo to win, call 1-866-60-AGT04.

Winning would be incredible.
Welcome back to America's Got Talent the finals.
From the prudential hall in Newark, New Jersey, we're always saying to win on this show, you have to go big, and this act has done that for sure.
He's created the world's largest string instrument.
From Los Angeles, California.
Give it up for William Close and the Earth Harp Collective! To be on the stage for the finals, I'm almost emotionally overwhelmed.
Every piece of wood that I ever cut, every note that I ever played, everything that I did in this life has led up to this experience.
I believe William Close can really win the whole thing.
When we see him in the theater, you can feel it pounding through you.
You've got to bring a big performance, and he's got to make sure he doesn't get lost in the mix.
Tonight I'm doing my biggest performance yet, literally a symphony of my instrument.
I've been working on this nonstop.
I'm definitely more nervous than I've been yet.
It's such an important night for me.
If I don't show up and bring my best, I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
oh beautiful for spacious skies for Amber waves of grain for purple Mountain majesties above the fruited plain America! America! God shed his grace on thee and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea William Close and the Earth Harp Collective.
My goodness.
Let's step over here.
Look at the people on their feet.
Howie? You guys are jumping together.
That's a good thing.
I've got to say every time you step it up.
Every single time you step it up, and I say the same thing each and every time.
I hope you're enjoying this at home as much as we're enjoying it here.
You add to it.
You add Cirque du Soleil.
You add more beautiful women.
I can only imagine the Craiglist ad.
Gorgeous women needed to tinkle my stuff.
I don't underst this is phenomenal.
The best show I've ever seen.
Wherever you end up in this contest, I want to buy tickets and come see you.
But at home, vote.
Please, vote.
Sharon? William Close you are a visionary.
I have to tell you, you are.
As Howie said, it's like cirque du Soleil, and you, my darling, will end up bigger than cirque du Soleil, because you will have shows all over the world.
And the way that you incorporate your craft with the audience, it's just a whole experience watching your show.
This is just the beginning for you, William.
Thank you, Sharon.
Mr.
Stern? Yeah, I think this was a really intelligent move on your part.
You laid it all out there.
You had everything that we could think of that is about you on that stage.
It was all you.
Everything was so unique.
The instrumentation, the woman flying through the air and spinning, fabulous.
This was very smart.
You did something smart too.
I thought you actually flipped backwards last time when you had the same singers out here.
I didn't think the singers were doing you any good.
They sort of drown you out.
This time you were up front you were right in the mix.
You were there, you were present.
This is a million dollars win for you.
This is, you're a contender.
You're in it.
Right o.
Howard.
Thank you.
Wow.
Judges had tremendous things to say.
And as we all can see, this is the biggest you've gone.

This is a great country.
It's inventive, it's creative.
I'm just super psyched to be a part of it, so thanks.

Welcome back.
This is America's Got Talent, and it is the finals.
It's almost time to pick your winner, but before we do that, here's our six finalists.
Two guys and America's most talented four-legged stars.
From New York, here's Olate Dogs.
We're the first animal act to ever make the finals.
That's huge.
This is the American dream, for sure.
America is electrified by the dogs, and if they can keep doing what they're doing, then they can take this all the way and win $1 million.
It's all built up to a moment.
In this final it's definitely our moment.
We've been doing this for many years.
And tonight, this show is a big show.
Wow.
Olate Dogs.
It looks like Sharon has a new friend.
I've just got to say, Ozzie, we've got a new baby.
Hi.
Oh look, he's got a crust like my husband on his chest.
Just I love him.
I can't believe it.
You brought us another new dog.
- What is that dog's name? - Orto.
It means bear in Spanish.
My goodness me.
You know I'm a dog lover.
You can trust them.
They don't lie to you.
They don't deceive you.
This is just pure love on the stage.
I just can't tell you.
You've made me so happy.
Thank you for the doggy.
Howard? You know Sharon, that dog you're holding might be a millionaire.
You better watch yourself.
Look, if we saw any one of these individual tricks on Youtube, we would think that, oh, my goodness, you know, I've been upstaged by a dog.
Wouldn't be the first time.
Look, you guys are phenomenal.
You've done a great job.
It's gonna be interesting to see how America votes.
In my mind now I'm going back and forth between a comedian, a guy on an earth harp and you guys.
It's going to be interesting to see who wins.
It really is.
You've done a phenomenal job.
Each week you come out with a level of expertise with these dogs and a level of training like I've never seen before.
America's got to vote.
Yes, you have to vote.
What an amazing act from the moment that started with that car poodling.
Is that what you called that? It's just amazing.
Every time you bring a new trick.
The fact that we're you are here at home, I smell the act.
I could smell the act.
But it's just great.
What a way to end the show.
America, you've got to vote.
Look at that.
- How can you not vote? - These dogs are amazing.
Vote, vote, vote.
You guys bring so much fun to our show.
What has it meant for you to be on our show? The show has been incredible, I mean my dad journey has just been amazing, and for him to get this far, and for me to be able to represent him like this is a dream come true.
