Tyra Banks hosted the show this season. The judges were Howie Mandel, Mel B, Heidi Klum and Simon Cowell.

"A well-deserved win. So happy for @ShinLimMagic #AGTFinale," Mandel tweeted.

The last AGT episode of the season was also notable because KISS, an iconic rock band there to perform live, also announced its plans for a farewell concert tour.
