A STORY OF SURVIVAL THAT NO ONE SAW COMING! đŸŽ€â™żđŸ˜± Daniel Alvarez walked onto the America’s Got Talent stage with nothing but a microphone—and within minutes had the entire audience roaring with laughter.

The July 7 episode of America’s Got Talent featured the next round of Season 21 auditions. More talented acts hit the stage to perform for judges Howie Mandel, Mel B., Sofia Vergara, and Simon Cowell.

Heading into the episode, Cowell, Mandel, and Mel B. already used both of their Golden Buzzers, while Vergara and host Terry Crews still had one each to hand out. The recipients of the Golden Buzzer earn an automatic ticket to the Live Shows, which means they bypass the judges’ deliberations and new Judges Callback round.

By the end of the night, Crews was impressed enough to give his second Golden Buzzer to another talented contestant. Scroll down for a recap of the Episode 5 performances and to find out who will be moving on in the competition.

Daniel Alvarez is in a wheelchair after being shot, and he can’t move his body from the neck down. He came to the show with his stand-up comedy routine.

“I think you are hilarious,” Cowell confirmed. “It’s the hardest thing, I think, to be a comedian, but you just got everyone. I think you are one of the funniest comedians we’ve had on this year.”

Mandel agreed with him, while Vergara gushed over how “funny” Daniel was by making fun of himself. “We all should be like you,” she shared. Daniel received four yeses to move on in the competition.
