**"America's Got Talent" is gracing our screens once more with Season 20, and the premiere was nothing short of peculiar, featuring a corn-chugging stunt before a pair of golden buzzers. viewers haven't had to wait for the next episode to witness another promising act vying for the $1 million prize. As "AGT" unveiled a video showcasing Cole Swensen, a 23-year-old, teaming up with his mum, Judy, for a Cover of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida." Simon Cowell provided the usual dose of unpredictable entertainment with his reaction.
The upcoming season 20 episode introduces Cole Swensen and his mother Judy. Surprisingly, it wasn't just for moral support that he brought her along. With a trio of Mel B, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara praising the performance, Simon Cowell initially seemed hesitant. But don't be fooled, his initial reserve was just part of his signature critical act. Once it was revealed that he approved of Judy playing the cello, the mother-son duo received a wave of relief and applause.

But it turned out to be a classic Simon Cowell move, eventually showering praise on the duo. His tricked-to-be-disappointed-then-delighted reaction was, as usual, entertaining.
The act didn't receive a golden buzzer, but with new episodes streaming Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, more contenders are sure to emerge soon. If you want to catch up on the latest episodes, a Peacock subscription provides next-day streaming options.
