Process[]
All of the Top 100 acts were taken into a hall where Howard Stern told them that they would be going back into the holding room to look for their name(s) on one of the three boards, labeled in twelve categories of "Judge's Favorites" and twelve categories of "Stand-Bys". If their name was one of the six acts/groups whose name was nowhere then they would be taken onto the stage.
