How Tom Sandoval’s America’s Got Talent Audition Really Came to Be (Exclusive)
The lights have officially dimmed on Tom Sandoval’s time on America’s Got Talent.
The Tom Sandoval & the Most Extras frontman and his band were eliminated from the show on Aug. 20.
The Vanderpump Rules alum, 43, and his cover band found out their fate once it came down to two groups battling it out for their place in the semifinals. However, after host Terry Crews did not announce their names, Tom and his band quickly exited the stage.
The results show came after the band performed a cover of The Weeknd’s hit “Blinding Lights” Aug. 19 and earned mixed reviews—and a buzzer smash—from the judges.
Sofía Vergara had high praise for the act—which made their debut in June—focusing more on the entertainment aspect.
“I love the dancing,” the Modern Family alum said. “I love the band, the song. The sound was not amazing, but this was super entertaining.”
“I like Tom and I like the band,” Simon Cowell said during the episode. “However, you’re judging this performance, and it didn’t sound great. It didn’t. It might just be me from where I sat but it didn’t sound good, I’m afraid.”
