More than half of the 10 acts on the fifth and final audition episode of season 1 of “America’s Got Talent: The Champions” won the title in their respective countries when they first competed. Among these six contestants is the reigning “AGT” winner, the magician Shin Lim.
The other five past champs looking to claim the ultimate in bragging rights include a trio of “Britain’s Got Talent” winners: shadow dance group Attraction (2013), pianist Tokio Myers (2017) and comedian Lost Voice Guy (2018). Sand artist Kseniya Simonova won “Ukraine’s Got Talent” in 2009 while escape artist Cosentino was the “Australia’s Got Talent” 2011 winner.
