On September 2, 2025, the AGT Third Quarterfinals turned into a breakout night built around one colossal moment: Simon Cowell hitting the Golden Buzzer for Micah Palace. Between hair‑hanging aerials, fire‑juggling brinkmanship, a laser‑sharp crossbow catch, and a show‑closing power ballad, every act raised the stakes — but Micah’s confetti‑shower centerpiece defined the episode.

Per the night’s rundown, Jacqueline & Wagner opened with a high‑stakes aerial, and Jessica Sanchez closed with “Ordinary.” The Messoudi Brothers added a daring costume switch mid‑juggle, while Anna Saranina’s precision shot drew a collective gasp. Below, every performer gets their spotlight — with one or two choice quotes from the live transcripts to bring you inside the room.
