Team Recycled Scores Golden Buzzer on ‘AGT’: Watch

Team Recycled are heading to the Finals of America’s Got Talent.

The quarterfinals of AGT 2025 are all wrapped up, as fans got an eyeful on Tuesday night (Sept. 9) as vocal duo Crash Adams, acrobatic pair The TT Boys, dance act The Funkateers Dancers, singing ensemble The Birmingham Youth Fellowship Choir, muscleman Mike Munz, and others got down to business.

The evening’s highpoint belonged to Team Recycled, a modern dance act that combines breakdancing with big, dramatic synchronized routines, and enough energy to power Sin City’s Strip for a few hours.

The room loved what they saw, and three of the judges gave a standing ovation (Sofía Vergara stayed seated).

Howie Mandel went first and remarked that he was disappointed with how the evening had panned out, because he was “looking for an act that would step it up,” someone who had the magic to win the whole thing.

Nobody looked likely to do that, he explained, until Team Recycled took the stage.

“I thought to myself, can they do it? And the answer is yes!”

Mandel didn’t waste any time, or let his fellow judges speak. He reached over and slapped that Golden Buzzer, clearing a path for the dance troupe to progress straight into the final.

There were tears and hugs among the 42-strong teammates, as confetti and streamers rained down.

Now, America votes. The results of which will be announced Wednesday evening. Seven performers will be sent home from this fourth quarterfinal. Three will join the advancing group, which returns to the AGT stage on Tuesday, Sept. 16 to compete in the Top 12.

That lucky dozen will chase seven available positions the Final, which include one Semifinal Golden Buzzer, six America’s votes, and the four Quarterfinal Golden Buzzer Acts.

The ultimate winner of NBC’s talent competition gets more than bragging rights; they’ll collect a $1 million prize. AGT is currently celebrating its 20th season.
