Of his first Wildcard show, AGT Judge Howard Stern noted, "How we going to end this season? Every time the audience gets rid of somebody we bring them back. It's like Godfather 3… just one too many."

"This year has had such a great amount of talent that with only 4 choices allowed per show, deserving acts got let go. I believe America will be happy to see my choices get a second chance," added Judge Howie Mandel.

"I love the Wildcard show because I want to show Howie and Howard that my picks are going to go through," said Sharon Osbourne.
