Aaron Balile

Prolific golden ticket winner brought back to close the show, introduced with his America's Got Talent and Kill Tony credits. Spends most of his time on the road and is heading back out with Steve-O in the new year. His combative back-and-forth with the panel over being allowed to 'cook' was the closing bit of the night.

Opened the show as an established golden ticket winner, not a new one. Tony recapped that he was discovered several years ago at Vulcan Gas Company during a record 22-bucket-pull episode, then Howie Mandel put him on America's Got Talent where he placed second. Said he did 23 sold-out road dates last month opening for Steve-O and has 26 more booked.

A prominent golden ticket winner and America's Got Talent runner-up. He has been touring extensively with Steve-O and recently got a full-back tattoo in a hotel. He performed his set using a text-to-speech app on his phone.
