What is AGT: All-Stars?
For those unfamiliar with AGT: All-Stars, it's a spin-off from the original show which features winners, finalists, fan favorites, and others from previous seasons showing off their talents in a bid to win a huge cash prize of $500,000.
The full synopsis reads: "Each week 10 Acts — including singers, dancers, ventriloquists, comedians, aerialists, magicians and more — will perform for the Judges for the chance to earn one of the coveted five Golden Buzzers and move on to the Finals.
"The AGT Superfans will also vote on one additional Act per episode to move onto the Finals. Following the final performances, the superfans will vote again on the 11 finalists to choose the winner, which will be revealed in the two-hour star-studded finale."
