The acts just keep getting better, and more bizarre, onย โAmericaโs Got Talent.โ
During Tuesdayโs episode of the talent competition show, Australian contestant Nick Manning took the stage in attempt to break an unusualย Guinness world recordย โ for the most underpants pulled on in 30 seconds.
โEver since I was a little kid, I always wanted to be the best in the world at something, so tonight Iโm going to try and break a world record,โ Manning told the judges.

Though Manning didnโt end up beating the world record, host Terry Crewsย dropped a shocking plot twist.
โWe have a chance to go for another world record,โ Crews said.
โThere is a record for most people gathered in one place wearing underwear on their heads,โ Manning added, looking at the audience for approval.
โWhy?โ judge Simon Cowell asked.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator confirmed that if everyone in the theater put underwear on their heads, they would be Guinness world record titleholders.

In a shocking turn of events, the audience, the crew and even judges Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofia Vergara fully embraced the act for 60 whole seconds.
The crowd willingly completed the task and earned the Guinness World Records title.
Earlier in the season, Cowellย made show historyย by pressing the Golden Buzzer twice in one episode. Historically, judges were allowed to press the Golden Buzzer only one time per season.
During an episode of the NBC show last month, Cowell first pressed the Golden Buzzer for Chicago-based singer Liv Warfield after she gave a lively performance with her band.
Later in the episode, a group of six men called Sky Elements performed an impressive drone light show.

In a shocking turn of events, Cowell pressed the same buzzer for the second time, immediately prompting questions from production, his fellow judges and the audience.
โSimon, what are you doing?โ a producer asked.
โYou already had one,โ Mandel said. โThatโs his second one.โ
โIt doesnโt matter,โ Cowell responded. โI had to.โ
After discussing logistics with production, the rules for season 19 were changed on the spot. Judges now have two opportunities to press the Golden Buzzer for acts they think are deserving of a spot in the live shows.
