The grand finale of "America's Got Talent" was filled with not only talent but also a side-splitting prank that had the audience and judges in stitches.

The prank unfolded as Grier, a stand-up comedian and actor, approached Cowell on stage during the live broadcast. With a deadpan expression, Grier calmly introduced himself as "Bob," a contestant who had something special to share. A microphone was extended to "Bob," who proceeded to deliver a bizarre and nonsensical routine that left the audience and judges bewildered.
Grier's "performance" consisted of gibberish, awkward dance moves, and assorted props, including a rubber chicken and a pair of juggling balls. Cowell, initially amused, quickly became confused and perturbed as Grier's routine went off the rails. The other judges struggled to contain their laughter as Grier subjected Cowell to a barrage of surreal and cringe-worthy acts.
As Grier's "performance" reached its peak of absurdity, Mandel joined the fray, revealing himself as an accomplice in the prank. Mandel pretended to be a member of the production crew and instructed Grier to take a seat at the judges' table alongside Cowell.
With Mandel's prodding, Grier confidently critiqued the other contestants' performances, much to Cowell's dismay. "Your magic act was terrible!" Grier exclaimed, directing his comments to magician Dustin Tavella. "You should have pulled a rabbit out of your hat!"
Cowell, visibly flustered, attempted to maintain his composure but couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation. The audience erupted in laughter, fully aware of the prank that was being played on the typically stoic judge.
Finally, after several minutes of chaos and laughter, Mandel broke character and revealed the true nature of the prank. Cowell, initially shocked, quickly burst into a fit of laughter, acknowledging the brilliant execution of his fellow judges.
The prank not only provided a memorable moment on the "AGT" finale but also showcased Cowell's ability to laugh at himself and embrace the spirit of entertainment. It also highlighted the camaraderie and playful banter among the judges, who have become a beloved part of the "AGT" experience.
