Watch The 'America's Got Talent' Contestant Who Made Howie Mandel Stomp On Golden Buzzer
Jun 06, 2019 by apost team
Before Joseph Allen (21) from Texas went on stage for his “America’s Got Talent” audition he asked host Terry Crews to make him a simple promise.
That promise was to make sure that the host with the giant biceps would pick Joseph up if he manages to get the coveted Golden Buzzer—It’s a magic button that an “AGT” judge can press to have a contestant they like go through immediately to the live shows. Terry’s response was a straightforward yes that he would.

Joseph went out on that stage and the crowd was already on their feet for the charismatic young man. The judges Howie Mandel, Gabrielle Union, Julianne Hough, and Simon Cowell were excited to see what he would bring. They were intrigued and asked him why he was there that day. To which he responded:
“I just see myself as being someone who can make a major impact in the world, and I want to see how much of a footprint I can leave on Earth before I leave,” he told the judges.

Then he plunged into an original song dedicated to and about the judges, charming the audience on the way. The judges were absolutely bowled over by his voice and rapping skills, but nobody expected what happened next. The evaluation began and the first judge to speak was Howie Mandel who was encouraging and spoke about the whole world watching that moment.

He got to his feet while he spoke, and Joseph was excited. But then Howie jumped to the tabletop and Joseph was totally shocked. Then the moment came when Howie said, “You said you wanna leave a footprint,” he told Joseph. “Well, I’m gonna give you the footprint.” And stomped right on the Golden Buzzer bringing Joseph all the way to the live show.

The golden confetti rained down and Terry ran on stage and fulfilled his promise of picking up Joseph and walking him around the stage. It was such a celebratory, fun moment and as amazing to watch as Joseph’s performance itself.
