Reuben Solo was a comedian from Season 19 of America's Got Talent. He was eliminated in the audition round.
Background[]
Reuben Solo is from Melbourne, Australia. Reuben first rose to prominence on his social media platforms in 2020 with this largely being owed to his rather witty combination of self-referential and surreal humour. After graduating University with a degree in study film and television, Reuben began working as both an editor and a producer on the Luke and Lewis comedy podcast until 2021. After leaving his role on the latter Podcast, Reuben began hosting a Podcast of his own entiled Stick to the Script.
If he were to have won the competition, Reuben aspired to have moved out of his parents place in Australia by moving to America.
In 2023, he won the Weekly Award for Best Comedy at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and appeared in Feedback Loop.
Audition[]
Reuben Solo's performance in Episode 1907 consisted of performing a comedy routine using a white board. Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara and Simon Cowell all buzzed the act. Before Howie pressed the fourth and final red buzzer, he gave himself the Golden Buzzer. All 4 judges voted "No", eliminating him from the competition.
Trivia[]
- Reuben Solo is the first act to get four red buzzers and a Golden Buzzer although he pressed the Golden Buzzer for himself so it did not count.
- Reuben Solo is also the first act since Ben Trigger in Season 14 to give himself the Golden Buzzer on the main series.
