HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Laugh Factory collaborated with America's Got Talent to help nurture young artists in a special callback —starring Howie Mandel and Nikki Glaser judging on the Laugh Factory Hollywood stage.
"For nearly five decades, Laugh Factory has been a place where comedians come to be discovered, take chances and become great," said Laugh Factory President David Fuhrer. "Having Howie and Nikki working with these talented young artists continues that legacy for a new generation."
One of the emerging stars from this season's AGT is Nene Royal, a 16-year-old musician from Phuket, Thailand. She rocked the Laugh Factory stage with her high-energy rendition of Def Leppard's "Hysteria" and has amassed more than a billion views on social media platforms. Here are links to her performance:

The episode filmed at the Laugh Factory that will be broadcast tonight is part of AGT's new Judges' Callbacks shows, in which the judges move into venues tailored to their individual areas of expertise. At the Laugh Factory, Mandel and Glaser evaluated the remaining performers and made the difficult decisions about which acts will advance to the live shows.
"Howie and Nikki have first-hand knowledge of what it feels like to perform on the Laugh Factory stage, because they have both brought joy and laughter to audiences here many times," said Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada. "We truly enjoyed working with them as they encouraged these talented young artists."
