Madelyn Tallent and Malachi Martin will get their next shot on Howie Mandel’s America’s Got Talent on Tuesday night, August 4, when their callback audition airs in Season 21. The Benton, Polk County duo was selected for the Judges’ Callback round, a new part of the season that gives chosen acts another chance to move closer to the live shows.
That matters now because the episode puts the duo back in front of viewers after their June 23 appearance on NBC’s AGT at 8:00pm. For fans in Benton, Big Tom’s Backyard Grill & Bar is planning a watch party at 8pm EST and 7pm CST, turning the broadcast into a local event as the pair’s run reaches a new stage.
The callback round is not just a replay of the earlier audition. In Season 21, the format lets a special celebrity guest judge work directly with select acts and decide who moves on. Madelyn Tallent and Malachi Martin were chosen to perform for Mel B and Emma Bunton in that round, which is why the airing carries more weight than a standard rerun or recap.
There is still one detail the broadcast has not settled: whether they advance. The callback is being presented as another chance at the live shows, but the result of that round is not being given away ahead of time. That leaves Tuesday night’s episode as the point where the duo’s next step either opens up or stops short.
For Tallent, the AGT run also sits alongside another scheduled performance later this year. She is set to appear with Camden Smith and Tyler Garrett at Barrelhouse Ballroom on Friday, September 18, at 8:00pm. For now, though, the focus is on the callback airdate and on whether the Benton pair can turn a second look from Howie Mandel’s show into a move forward.
