America’s Got Talent golden buzzer was introduced in Season 9, with each judge being able to press the buzzer only once! Once per season! The golden buzzer sends acts immediately through to the live shows.

We have the best golden buzzers ever seen in AGT history. Read on to find out just who stole Simon’s heart!
Kodi Lee
Kodi Lee auditioned for the fourteenth season of AGT performing Leon Russell’s magical song “A Song For You.” Lee received an all-round standing ovation not only from the audience but the judges too. Lee was born with optic nerve hypoplasia which resulted in him being blind, he was later on in his life diagnosed with autism and Addison’s disease. However, none of this got Lee down- his musical talents managed to rake up such an uproar that led to his golden buzzer from Gabrielle Union. His audition video got over 50 million views within just two weeks. Lee went on to actually win the fourteenth season!
