The Judge Cuts of Season 14 of America's Got Talent aired through July 16, 2019 to August 6, 2019. A total of 72 acts performed. 28 acts, along with 5 Golden Buzzer acts from the auditions and three wild card acts, preceded to the Quarterfinals, and 40 acts were rejected.
Process[]
The Judge Cuts round returned for its fifth year.
Serving as the middle round between the auditions and the live shows, 72 acts were pulled from the 100+ acts that were accepted by the judges in the Auditions. The Judge Cuts took place over four days; each day, 18 acts performed with only 7 moving on to the Quarterfinals.
Joining the main judging panel were four guest judges. While each regular judge was given a normal buzzer, each guest had only a Golden Buzzer he or she could press to send an act to the live shows without further deliberation as one of the 7 acts.
