Notable past contestants

• Jenna Renae, who was eliminated in week 2 of the Judges' Cuts, later tried out for the final season of American Idol in 2016. She ended up finishing in the top 24.

Trivia

• Season 10 modified the rules of the Golden Buzzer. Instead of sending an act to the Vegas Round and ignoring the other judges' votes, the buzzer now sends an act straight to the live shows.
• It's unknown if the judges still drink Snapple as the drinking cups now say Dunkin Donuts.
• Howard Stern stepped down from the panel after the conclusion of the season.
