“AGT” fans, get ready for the first of two Semi-finals rounds of “America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League” when Episode 5 airs Monday, January 29 on NBC. Reminder: this reality TV program puts the four judges – Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Mel B – in the driver’s seat as they each fill out their fantasy teams with 10 unique acts. The judges then compete against each other throughout the season until only one act remains and wins the grand prize of $250,000.
The Week 5 lineup includes a mix of the 10 semi-finalists who advanced from each of the first four Qualifiers rounds, including dance group Ghetto Kids and pole dancer Kristy Sellars. NBC has confirmed to Gold Derby the cast list for the fifth episode. Here it is:

Terry Crews serves as the host for the new show, just as he does for “America’s Got Talent.” Also note that the Golden Buzzer is back to send acts straight through to the finals, but with a twist in that each judge can press the button for their own act, OR to take an act from another judges’ team. And the studio audience will vote each week to determine who will advance to the Semi-finals and Finals rounds.
