00:00:06Tonight, you at home have all the power.
00:00:11You alone will decide who wins half a million dollars.
00:00:15We are live.
00:00:16It's the Star Search finale.
00:00:22We will become the ultimate Star Search champion.
00:00:31Are you ready?
00:00:34This is our dream.
00:00:35We came to fight.
00:00:36We're going to give it everything we got.
00:00:39This time, we got to go big.
00:00:41Either go big or go home.
00:00:44We've been here for four weeks.
00:00:46This week is going to be that finale performance we need to take us to the top.
00:00:49This performance, it can change my life.
00:00:51I'll put it all on the line.
00:00:53I'm ready for this.
00:00:55I'm the youngest in this finale, but watch out.
00:00:58I'm coming in hot.
00:01:00As a female comic, winning Star Search would be life-changing.
00:01:04One person is going home with half a million dollars.
00:01:07That's starting to become more real.
00:01:10This could be my big break.
00:01:12Everything that I've worked for can happen right now.
00:01:23It's the last performance.
00:01:24This is it.
00:01:25Leave it all on stage tonight.
00:01:28Half a million dollars is life-changing.
00:01:31It is out of our hands.
00:01:33It's now up to the worldwide audience.
00:01:36Don't you know?
00:01:37Don't you know?
00:01:38I'm invincible, baby.
00:01:54Welcome, world.
00:01:55This is Star Search, the live finale.
00:01:59Champion versus champion.
00:02:02Tonight's the night.
00:02:03The world crowns a brand new star.
00:02:06For the winner, there's the title of Star Search Grand Champion and half a million dollars.
00:02:12How cool is that?
00:02:13It's what we've been building towards for the last four weeks and what the finalists have been building towards ever
00:02:20since they first dreamed of being performers.
00:02:23And listen to this.
00:02:25Across the season, we've had viewers in 184 countries voting to make those dreams come true.
00:02:34Well, tonight, you will make one performer's dream a reality.
00:02:40Yes, the only votes that count tonight are from all of you watching live around the world.
00:02:48But first, please welcome our three judges that played a big part in choosing our finalists.
00:02:56Jelly Roll, Chrissy Teigen, and Sarah Michelle Gellar.
00:03:02So please, you're blessed if you come down
00:03:05In all the right ways of my underdogs
00:03:09We will never be, never be anything but love
00:03:12And many, gritty, dirty little freaks
00:03:16We will never be, never be anything but love
00:03:20And many, gritty, dirty little freaks
00:03:22We will never be, never be anything but love
00:03:24All right!
00:03:25We will never be, never be anything but love
00:03:28Jelly Roll!
00:03:30Tonight, the three of you will get to comment on every performance but will not give any stars out.
00:03:37How does it feel to turn 100% of the reigns over to the viewers?
00:03:42Relief! We're relieved!
00:03:44I'm gonna miss giving those five stars, Anthony, but I am glad to know that the world is watching
00:03:49And the world is in charge of who is leaving here a half a million dollars. Richard, don't mess it
00:03:55up, y'all. Don't mess it up, baby!
00:03:57All right. Here's how it's going down tonight. Our eight champions will first battle across four head-to-head competitions.
00:04:06Each time, the winner you pick will return later in the show. And then you at home, watching live around
00:04:14the globe, will vote for one of those four acts and crown them the Star Search Grand Champion and the
00:04:22winner of half a million dollars.
00:04:27So, it's gonna be a big night for the acts performing and for you at home. Now world, are you
00:04:35ready to choose a star?
00:04:41First up tonight, he's the magician we can't take our eyes off of and she possesses the voice that moves
00:04:49us. It's Madison Lauren versus Harry Merlin Piper.
00:04:56Harry, you are still the Junior Variety Champion. That's four weeks in a row.
00:05:03Madison Lauren, you are the new Junior Music Champion!
00:05:08You will be moving on to compete for half a million dollars.
00:05:17I am now a Star Search Champion.
00:05:20As a singer, I want to say, you're a star, baby. You're a star.
00:05:25This is like the best thing that's ever happened to me.
00:05:29Congratulations, Maddie.
00:05:30My grandma.
00:05:32Hi, Maddie. So, this is the moment.
00:05:34God!
00:05:35Having this much support really means the whole entire world to me.
00:05:40When you were little, you used to say, Lola, I want to make people happy when I sing. And now,
00:05:48it happened.
00:05:49I love them so much. They've been always there for me. And I just hope that my family is gonna
00:05:55be proud.
00:05:57To be able to share this journey with my dad, it's just been one of the best experiences of my
00:06:00life.
00:06:01You could win this. Dad never thought I'd see the day mate you flying higher than I could.
00:06:06He inspired my love of magic.
00:06:07Harry, you're my idol!
00:06:09And now, I get to inspire people around the world, and I don't want it to end.
00:06:14I could tell you were a little nervous in the beginning.
00:06:17What I need to bring to this performance tonight is confidence, because I've watched Harry this whole time, and I
00:06:24think he's amazing.
00:06:26So, I need to give it everything I've got.
00:06:30I never thought I would get this far to the finale.
00:06:35Go out there and smash it.
00:06:36I mean, Madison is an incredible singer, but this performance, it can change my life. And I'm ready for this.
00:06:42My first performance, I was very scared. But tonight, I will sing my heart out. No fear. No fear at
00:06:49all.
00:06:49I'll come for you.
00:06:55Last week, her voice captivated the masses, and she's here tonight to compete for the title. Ladies and gentlemen, 11
00:07:02-year-old Madison Lawrence.
00:07:13I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough.
00:07:27Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up.
00:07:39Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
00:07:46Oh my God!
00:07:53Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know.
00:08:02Oh-oh-oh.
00:08:04You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing.
00:08:10You say I am strong when I think I am weak
00:08:16And you say I am held when I am falling short
00:08:23And when I don't belong, oh, you say I am yours
00:08:31Taking all I have and now I'm laying at your feet
00:08:41Ooh, and you say I am alive
00:08:49And you say I am strong
00:08:55And you say I am held when I am falling short
00:09:02And when I don't belong, oh, you say I am yours
00:09:08It's I believe
00:09:18I believe
00:09:21I believe
00:09:28Oh, I believe
00:09:32Oh, I believe
00:10:02Let's start with you
00:10:02Oh, man, I didn't realize how nervous I was going to be and how big the finale was going to
00:10:08feel
00:10:08Until she started singing and right then I was like, this is such a big moment and you killed it
00:10:16You know, I will say this, I can't wait to see what you do in the future
00:10:22I can't wait till you start falling in love with writing songs and telling your little story through the lens
00:10:26of your life and playing instruments and just keep singing, girl, the sky is the limit for you, maybe even
00:10:31beyond
00:10:34Sarah, to you
00:10:35You know, I'm sad we only got two weeks with you because just even from week one to week two
00:10:41there was an improvement and you were right, you came out less nervous and your voice is so beautiful, it's
00:10:46so mature beyond your years and I'm just with Jelly
00:10:49I can't wait to watch you grow and grow and become the superstar that you are inevitably going to be
00:10:58Chrissy?
00:10:59I mean, such an inspirational and beautiful song choice
00:11:02Your voice is like made for a movie soundtrack, I feel like, right?
00:11:07It's just so powerful
00:11:08The notes that you hit are so impossibly hard for somebody as little as you to hit and you did
00:11:14it and it was so beautiful and I'm so emotional tonight because it's our last episode but, wow, I'm so
00:11:20glad we got to see you
00:11:21I'm so glad
00:11:25Well, we'll get to Madison's worldwide score in just a bit
00:11:29But first, here's the junior variety champion
00:11:32He's dominated this category for four weeks straight and now he is just one performance away from winning
00:11:38Put your hands together for 15 year old Harry Merlin Piper
00:11:48Tonight is a special night
00:11:50For that reason, my dad, he gave me this special deck of cards
00:11:54He said there's a tradition
00:11:55When a magician comes of age, the mentor passes the torch
00:11:59He said tonight
00:12:01Was my night
00:12:02For that reason, I turn one card around in this deck
00:12:05And no one knows what it is
00:12:07Chrissy?
00:12:08I want you to name a colour for me
00:12:09Red or black
00:12:10Give it to us
00:12:11Uh, red
00:12:12Red
00:12:13Good decision, Chrissy
00:12:15Sarah, it's time to use your magical powers
00:12:17One last time
00:12:19What do you want?
00:12:20Hearts or diamonds?
00:12:22Oh, I like diamonds
00:12:23Diamonds
00:12:23She likes a shimmer
00:12:24She likes a shimmer
00:12:25Now, Jelly Roll
00:12:26Don't get scared
00:12:28But it's your time
00:12:28I'll give you a clue
00:12:29It's not a picture card
00:12:30It's a number card
00:12:31What number is it?
00:12:33Three
00:12:34The three of diamonds
00:12:36Because I've had to take a card this whole time
00:12:38But before that
00:12:39Sarah, we need a short magic word
00:12:41Tell me one
00:12:43Slay
00:12:44Slay
00:12:45I don't know if that's magical
00:12:46But we'll give it
00:12:47We'll give it
00:12:47It's magic, no?
00:12:48The three of diamonds
00:12:49Because inside this deck
00:12:53There's one
00:12:53And just one
00:12:56Card
00:12:58Turn around
00:12:59Right at the start
00:13:05Only one
00:13:06The three of diamonds
00:13:13See, Star Search for me
00:13:15Has been a dream come true
00:13:16Performing on stage
00:13:17In front of the judges
00:13:18The crew
00:13:19All the people watching at home
00:13:21They don't feel like an audience anymore
00:13:23Everyone feels like family
00:13:26For that reason
00:13:26I've bought this keepsake box
00:13:28Where I hold my memories
00:13:29Nice and tight of the show
00:13:31Sarah
00:13:31When you became
00:13:32Sarah the Magnificent
00:13:34And you showed your magical powers
00:13:35And you chose
00:13:36The ten of clubs
00:13:38Jelly Roll
00:13:38You faced your fear
00:13:40And Chrissy as well
00:13:41With three separate stars
00:13:42We found the two of spades
00:13:45Aww
00:13:46Come here
00:13:46Come here
00:13:47Come here
00:13:50It's a journey we've shared together
00:13:53Jelly Roll
00:13:53You faced your fear of magic
00:13:55And you chose
00:13:56The seven of diamonds
00:13:57You made it fly
00:13:59And not only that
00:14:00We made it snow
00:14:01For the kids here in Hollywood
00:14:04This has been
00:14:04One of the best moments of my life
00:14:06But sadly
00:14:07Tonight's Star Search
00:14:09Comes to an end
00:14:10So it's time for these memories
00:14:11To disappear
00:14:22Thank you Star Search
00:14:24But wait
00:14:25There's one more thing
00:14:26Because tonight we had one magical word
00:14:28And that was
00:14:30Slay
00:14:40But tonight
00:14:41I want to finish with one final memory
00:14:44Little me
00:14:44On my little motorbike
00:14:47Following my dreams
00:14:48Like every other person can do in this world
00:14:50Because tonight
00:14:51It's time Jelly Roll
00:14:52For the final
00:14:54Batum switch
00:15:08Tonight I'm going to show you something
00:15:10That you've never seen before
00:15:11So whatever you do
00:15:12Don't blink
00:15:14And watch
00:15:15Closely
00:15:16Are you ready for this?
00:15:19Come on

00:15:29Hey

00:16:37Hey.
00:16:40Come on.
00:16:57Okay, worldwide voting is now open, and it's all up to you watching live.
00:17:04You have one minute to give my friend Harry Ebel Knievel one to five stars.
00:17:18Man, even, I mean, your words up here, I think they got to me so hard because they're exact
00:17:23words that I want to say to all of you, to our audience, to everybody here.
00:17:27It's been so much fun, but Harry, you have been so much fun to watch throughout this competition
00:17:33that I am genuinely going to miss seeing you on this stage.
00:17:37Thank you for everything you've given us.
00:17:39Thank you so much.
00:17:41I'm going to miss you guys as well, you're my family now.
00:17:45Sarah.
00:17:46I mean, I don't have to say it, you're incredible, we all know it, but you're a little like backstage
00:17:51stuff, you're so kind.
00:17:53Like if my kids run into him or Chrissy's kids backstage, within two seconds he's got a trick,
00:17:57like the guy is just magic.
00:17:59You are magic.
00:18:04I don't think anybody can say it any better than Sarah Michelle said it, he is just magic.
00:18:09Harry, my favorite, I can say this now that this is the end of this, my favorite part of
00:18:14this show has been waiting every week for you to come out all excited and go, it's me
00:18:18again, Harry Merlin Piper.
00:18:21We love that, dude.
00:18:25All right.
00:18:28Well, we are about to find out Madison and Harry's worldwide scores.
00:18:34It's time to choose our first finalist.
00:18:37Madison, please come join us on stage.
00:18:43It's our junior variety champion against the junior music champion.
00:18:49Only one can move on to the top four and have a chance at winning life changing money.
00:18:55Will it be Harry Merlin Piper or Madison Lauren?
00:19:02The worldwide results are in.
00:19:06Madison, the viewers around the globe gave you 3.79 stars.
00:19:19That is the score to beat.
00:19:23So has Harry scored higher?
00:19:25Who's going to be in with the shot at winning half a million dollars?
00:19:32Harry, the viewers around the world gave you 4.3 stars, which means Harry Merlin Piper.
00:19:44You are in the top four.
00:19:51Madison, you have a great voice and a bright future.
00:19:58Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Madison Lauren.
00:20:06All right, Harry.
00:20:07Congratulations.
00:20:08We'll see you again later when the live worldwide viewers will pick the winner of half a million dollars.
00:20:14Show your love for Harry Merlin Piper.
00:20:21You got it, buddy.
00:20:23Up next, it's four-time variety champions duo Vespertilio versus four-time dance champions Movement 55.
00:20:36We are one performance away from half a million dollars, which could change all of our lives.
00:20:43We always have danger and risk in our acts, but this time we got to go big.
00:20:48Either go big or go home.
00:20:50Duo Vespertilio, Movement 55.
00:20:53You guys did it again.
00:20:54Four weeks in a row.
00:20:56Coming into this experience, we were a brand new group.
00:20:59Making our debut on the show.
00:21:01There was a lot of pressure going up against tough challengers and bringing something new to the table.
00:21:05That wasn't just dancing, that was theater.
00:21:09Losing Coco last week was the biggest challenge we've faced yet.
00:21:15Redoing this performance at the 11th hour actually in a weird way wound up working for you because you were
00:21:20all in sync.
00:21:22As much as it sucks to be unable to be moving with you guys, I can't wait to cheer you
00:21:28guys on.
00:21:28It's going to be amazing.
00:21:32Duo Vespertilio!
00:21:33We made it to the finale and this is just such a crazy journey.
00:21:39It feels unreal.
00:21:41It really does.
00:21:41This is crazy.
00:21:43It was mind-blowing to watch you.
00:21:46Duo Trapeze solely relies on trust.
00:21:48But this journey has really pushed our trust to new extremes.
00:21:52It's the first time you've used a blindfold.
00:21:54Oh, yes!
00:21:56And that's what sets us apart from everyone else.
00:21:58Just when I think y'all can't top the danger anymore, then y'all start breaking out fire.
00:22:03You wowed me again.
00:22:06It's beautiful to watch you on TV.
00:22:08You're amazing.
00:22:09We're so excited to see you in the finals.
00:22:13We're so proud of you.
00:22:14That was so sweet.
00:22:17We're going up against Movement 55.
00:22:19They've been here since week one, just like us.
00:22:21So it won't be easy.
00:22:22But we have the power of the air.
00:22:24Our dance can bring an audience into our world.
00:22:28That's something that we have as an advantage over Duo.
00:22:32This opportunity will never happen again.
00:22:34And we're gonna fight for it.
00:22:39Here are the variety champions riding a four-week winning streak featuring my favorite shirtless airless.
00:22:46It's Duo, Vespertilio.
00:22:49Boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:22:52I'm gonna shoot you right down.
00:22:55Right off of your feet.
00:22:58Boom, boom, boom, boom.

00:24:09I'm gonna shoot you right down.
00:24:11Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:24:19Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:24:22Boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:24:24Bang, bang, bang, bang.

00:24:46Bang, bang, bang, bang.

00:25:28Voting is now open, and it's up to you, the viewers watching live around the world.
00:25:34You can give Duo Vespitilio one to five stars.
00:25:38Judges, you don't go to give out any stars tonight, but you do get to give your opinions.
00:25:44What do you think of Duo Vespitilio?
00:25:46Sarah, we're gonna start with you.
00:25:48That was equal parts absolutely beautiful and absolutely terrifying at the same time
00:25:53I mean, it was, you have really managed every week somehow to up it and just the showmanship tonight.
00:26:00I mean, that's how you do a finale.
00:26:06Jelly Roll, you had your mouth agape the entire time they were up there.
00:26:11We're gonna go to you next.
00:26:12Dude, I was like, you know, he said something last week that stuck with me.
00:26:15He said, what do we have to do to earn five stars?
00:26:17And of course, the week that it doesn't matter, it was this week.
00:26:20It was the full package.
00:26:21It was the full package.
00:26:22It was seeing the paint.
00:26:24It was seeing the design.
00:26:25It was seeing her hair different.
00:26:27It was just seeing it all different.
00:26:28Tonight was the first.
00:26:29Every other night, I felt like I was watching y'all do something really cool like in a private
00:26:34place.
00:26:34Tonight was the first time I was like, no, they could do this in Vegas and make a lot of
00:26:38money doing it.
00:26:40Well said.
00:26:41Chrissy.
00:26:41I mean, I completely agree.
00:26:44That was, it's like, how do you bring it on the finale night?
00:26:48And you guys completely did.
00:26:50Visually, so beautiful.
00:26:51I loved the background choices.
00:26:53I loved the fire.
00:26:54I loved everything.
00:26:55But more than anything, the art on your bodies, it was such a standout, beautiful moment
00:27:00for me.
00:27:01It was completely beautiful.
00:27:03Six hours of makeup.
00:27:04Yeah.
00:27:05Six hours of body makeup.
00:27:07Wow.
00:27:07Wow.
00:27:08All right.
00:27:08Well, we'll get to Duo Vespitilio's worldwide score in just a bit.
00:27:12But now, make some noise for the dance crew that can't be stopped.
00:27:16It's Movement 55.
00:27:33You were my son.
00:27:36You were my urge.
00:27:40You didn't know all the ways I loved you.
00:27:44No.
00:27:45No.
00:27:46No.
00:27:46No.
00:27:50No.
00:27:52Oh, no.
00:27:54Tell me you need me.
00:27:56Can you call me on the phone?
00:27:59Call me on the phone.
00:28:01Girl, I refuse.
00:28:03She must let me confuse with some other guy.
00:28:06I'd like them, baby.
00:28:08The bridges go burned.
00:28:09Now it's your turn.
00:28:10It's your turn to cry.
00:28:12It's your turn.
00:28:13Oh, oh, oh.
00:28:16The damage is done.
00:28:17So I guess I'm feeling it.
00:28:19Oh, oh, oh.
00:28:22The damage is done.
00:28:23So I guess I'll be the same.
00:28:25You're taking it down.
00:28:27This ain't don't have to say what you did.
00:28:30Already know.
00:28:30I already know.
00:28:31I'm telling you from him.
00:28:33This is no change.
00:28:35You and me.
00:28:36You and me.
00:28:37Girl, I'm making you sound good.
00:28:40Don't want it to tell me you're in the phone.
00:28:43Don't want it to tell me you're in the phone.
00:28:47You can't don't want it to tell me you're in the phone.
00:28:53Don't want it to tell me you're in the phone.
00:28:56Don't want it to tell me you're in the phone.
00:28:58Yeah.
00:28:58Thank you, Gareth.
00:29:29World, the voting is now open.
00:29:31Give Movement 55 one to five stars, and it's all up to you.
00:29:39Good job up there, Movement 55.
00:29:43Chrissy, we're gonna go to you.
00:29:45I mean, the faces, the form, the everything.
00:29:48I think in one of my sit-down interviews...
00:29:50Yes! They are so proud of you!
00:29:56I said in one of my interviews,
00:29:58I'm ready for them to bring some like face
00:30:00and some really intense body movements,
00:30:02and you guys gave it to us tonight.
00:30:04Beautiful work. Thank you.
00:30:07Sarah.
00:30:09Oh, me. Sorry.
00:30:10You're the only Sarah on the stage.
00:30:12My name is Sarah on the show, too.
00:30:13I always forget that.
00:30:14Yes, I play Sarah tonight, too.
00:30:16This was so incredible.
00:30:18I'm so glad I'm not voting tonight,
00:30:19because it would be like five, five, five.
00:30:22Everything.
00:30:23Was that a basket toss that you guys did back there?
00:30:26The height on that was unbelievable.
00:30:28And, Sofia Lucia, we don't really get to ever acknowledge
00:30:31your choreographer is...
00:30:35He's so young!
00:30:36...simply...
00:30:36And you don't always know if someone who's an incredible dancer,
00:30:40if it's going to translate into choreography,
00:30:42but the storytelling tonight, the acting, all of it,
00:30:46just way to leave it all out there.
00:30:49Jelly Roll to you.
00:30:52There were two things when I started this competition
00:30:54I was certain I wasn't going to dig,
00:30:56and it was the magic and the dancing.
00:30:59And between Harry Merlin Piper and y'all,
00:31:02I have ate cold crow this entire five weeks.
00:31:05I am such a dance dad now.
00:31:07I love everything about it.
00:31:09I love y'all.
00:31:10I love Movement 55, and I hope, if nothing else,
00:31:14one, I'm so cheering for y'all,
00:31:16but I hope that dance schools across the world
00:31:18are getting flooded Monday because of y'all's name.
00:31:21All right.
00:31:23And I also just want to bring up the fact that they are down
00:31:26one dancer who was injured last week.
00:31:29And I hear Coco's in the building tonight.
00:31:31Let's give it up for Coco.
00:31:37Duo Vespertilio, please join us on the stage.
00:31:43It's our dance champion against the variety champion.
00:31:48Only one of these acts can make it to the top four
00:31:51for a chance to win half a million dollars.
00:31:54Will it be Movement 55?
00:31:58Or will it be Duo Vespertilio?
00:32:02The worldwide results are now in.
00:32:08Duo Vespertilio, the viewers around the globe, gave you 3.95 stars.
00:32:20That is the score to beat.
00:32:23So, did Movement 55 receive a higher score?
00:32:27Which act could be winning half a million dollars later tonight?
00:32:33Movement 55, the viewers around the world gave you 3.64 stars.
00:32:44Which means Duo Vespertilio, you are in the top four.
00:32:55Good job to everyone up here.
00:32:58Movement 55.
00:33:05Before you go, Movement 55, you are an incredibly gifted dance crew.
00:33:10Best of luck to you moving forward.
00:33:12Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Movement 55.
00:33:21Congratulations.
00:33:22The world has voted you into the top four.
00:33:24We'll see you again later when you will be within a shot of winning a half a million dollars.
00:33:32I would hug you because I'm such a huge fan, but I gotta go someplace tonight in my suit.
00:33:36Show some love for Duo Vespertilio.
00:33:41Congratulations, guys.
00:33:44Up next, they've been the dominant force since the season began.
00:33:48And he captivated our hearts last week with his powerful vocals.
00:33:53It's Spud Howard versus Horizon.
00:33:59We've been here since day one.
00:34:02This is our dream, and we're not leaving without a win.
00:34:06I've been doing this my entire life, and now I'm one performance away from reaching my dream.
00:34:14It's been a journey.
00:34:21I think we all can agree that was incredible.
00:34:25Coming here, we've been through a lot together.
00:34:28We've gained a lot of confidence, and we've really pushed ourselves past our comfort zone.
00:34:32Your voices were meant to be together.
00:34:36Just wishing you all the best of luck there is for the finals.
00:34:40We know you can do it.
00:34:41We're so proud of how far you've come since day one.
00:34:45Aw.
00:34:46No matter what happens, you are stars already to us.
00:34:50One more performance.
00:34:52One more.
00:34:53We're gonna knock it out of the park.
00:34:56I've been singing for a very long time, but the big break just has not come for me yet.
00:35:02So to make it to the finale is one of the last challenges.
00:35:05I know that this is my time to make the dream come true.
00:35:10That was a perfect, beautiful performance.
00:35:14Hearing all the praise from the justice has really validated this dream for me.
00:35:18It makes me feel like all the hard work and the struggle has really led me here.
00:35:23First off, I just wanted to say I love watching you perform in the semifinals.
00:35:26That's my brother!
00:35:27I'm extremely proud of you.
00:35:29I know Mom is looking down, and she's real proud of you, too.
00:35:32My mom would be so happy right now.
00:35:34Mom, I want to just thank you.
00:35:36I love you, and I'm gonna make you proud.
00:35:42Spud is vocal powerhouse.
00:35:45But we put our blood, sweat, and tears into every single round.
00:35:48We know that we have what it takes to win this show.
00:35:52I'm that close to being one of the few in the world to live a dream that I thought was
00:35:57impossible.
00:35:58I gotta bring this home, so Horizon, I hope y'all ready.
00:36:01Y'all better be ready.
00:36:06Let's welcome a young man who swooped in last week to grab a spot in tonight's finale.
00:36:11Put your hands together for Spud Howard.
00:36:21When your day is low, and the night, the night is yours alone.
00:36:36When you're sure you've had enough in this life, hang on.

00:37:51If you're on your own
00:37:55In this life, and the days are not so long
00:38:05When you think you had too much of this life
00:38:13You ain't gone, yeah
00:38:19Hold on, hold on
00:38:24Everybody hurts

00:39:01Your vote counts and truly matters tonight
00:39:06All right, bud, come on and join me
00:39:11But before I go to Jelly Roll, Spud, I wanna know where you get them buff background singers from
00:39:17I'm not too sure, but I'm going to the gym tomorrow
00:39:21Jelly Roll, we're gonna come to you since you were on your feet
00:39:24Man, you know, I gotta stand up for Spud, man
00:39:26That was, that was
00:39:27Listen, you got
00:39:28Wow
00:39:30Wow
00:39:32Man
00:39:32Just
00:39:33I don't
00:39:34There is a
00:39:35There is a richness in your voice
00:39:38It's like a
00:39:39It's like a waterfall
00:39:40Like a raging river rampage
00:39:42It's got this
00:39:43And it's almost as if it's effortless for you to sing it
00:39:46It's that the emotions coming from the soul
00:39:48The voice is just God-given
00:39:50And you can tell
00:39:50You just open your mouth and it comes out
00:39:52But it's the conviction that you sing from the bottom of your stomach
00:39:56And you were higher than duo vespertilia up there
00:39:59I was scared for you the whole time
00:40:01And, man, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know how the world's fixing to vote
00:40:05But I know my vote is
00:40:06If you ever wanna come on a Jelly Roll tour, you can
00:40:09All right
00:40:13All right
00:40:14Uh, Sarah, before, before, we're gonna come to you next
00:40:16But before we get to you, can you say Raging River Rampage?
00:40:20That's Nashville still
00:40:21Oh, okay
00:40:23You know, what I think is so incredibly special about you is you know who you are
00:40:28If I heard you on the radio tomorrow, I'd be like, that's Spud
00:40:31Because I would know, because what you do is so unique to you
00:40:35And that's what makes a superstar, so
00:40:37Here for it
00:40:39I can't wait to watch you on tour with Kelly
00:40:41Yes, yes, yeah
00:40:43Chrissy
00:40:43I mean, you are such an old soul
00:40:46Your voice, the rasp to it, the, the, it just feels like it has this beautiful, like
00:40:51It's like this warm, delicious pudding voice with, like, with this grit to it
00:40:56Only you would turn it into a baking project
00:40:58I know, I know
00:40:59I'm a baker, okay
00:41:00That's how I compare things
00:41:01But it's just so beautiful to hear you
00:41:03The way you have, like, this vocal control
00:41:05And also, you turn these pop songs into, like, these beautiful soul moments
00:41:39It's incredible
00:41:40Our trio whose harmonies have filled our hearts with joy
00:41:44Make some noise

00:43:00But you was just a waste of time
00:43:03I wanted you back here with me

00:43:07You gotta leave
00:43:09Because my heart is breaking
00:43:12With every word I'm saying
00:43:14I gave up everything I had
00:43:17On something that just wouldn't last
00:43:20But I refuse to cry

00:48:09His magic
00:48:11Is inconceivable
00:48:13Her comedy is incredible
00:48:15Now they go
00:48:17Head to head
00:48:18It's Janine Haroni
00:48:20Versus TJ Salter
00:48:24This is a lifelong dream that is so close to coming true
00:48:29And I'm ready to take it home
00:48:31I was performing in basements of pizza restaurants
00:48:34So to be here now
00:48:36On the biggest stage I've ever performed in my life
00:48:38Feels pretty good
00:48:40I've been here since day one
00:48:42I fought challenger after challenger after challenger
00:48:46TJ Salter
00:48:48Champion of Mariah
00:48:50I feel like my whole life
00:48:52Has led up to this moment
00:48:54And falling short would be devastating
00:48:56TJ you're a wonder
00:48:58We're so happy for you
00:49:00You are the pride of this family
00:49:02The best of luck and success
00:49:05And thank you
00:49:06My grandfather was the first one
00:49:08To show me a magic trick
00:49:10And so having that come from him
00:49:13Is like a huge full circle moment
00:49:16We didn't have a baby
00:49:17I had the baby
00:49:18I'm a god
00:49:19My husband is an ingredient
00:49:21Star search has already changed my life
00:49:24Last week Jelly said that I reminded him of Lee Ann Morgan
00:49:28You remind me of like the yin to her yang
00:49:30She reached out to me and said that she wanted to meet me
00:49:33I went and saw the taping of Lee Ann's sitcom
00:49:36And I got to meet her afterwards
00:49:37And tell her how much I loved her
00:49:39And I probably embarrassed myself
00:49:40But that's fine
00:49:42I love you mama
00:49:45I love you too honey
00:49:47I love you too
00:49:48I love you too
00:49:49I love you too
00:49:50We'll see you soon
00:49:50We miss you
00:49:51Bye bye
00:49:52Bye
00:49:54Oh my god
00:49:56Bye
00:49:57That was really beautiful
00:50:00Tonight the audience is in for a surprise
00:50:02Not only is it something they've never seen
00:50:04But it's something I've never done
00:50:06I'm not gonna let magic stand in the way of me
00:50:09Getting half a million dollars
00:50:11Because magic isn't real
00:50:15A couple of knock-knock jokes
00:50:18I'm ready for it
00:50:22I need you to put your hands together for our comedy champion
00:50:27Competing for a chance to win a half million dollars
00:50:31Make some noise for Janine Aroni
00:50:35Thank you
00:50:37Yes
00:50:38All the other acts get special effects
00:50:41Why not the comedians?
00:50:43Yes
00:50:44All right
00:50:45Okay
00:50:45Okay
00:50:46I think I'm pregnant with this harnesses baby
00:50:48All right
00:50:49Give it up for our amazing stage managers
00:50:52Denzel
00:50:52And John Victor
00:50:54Who are definitely stage managers
00:50:56And not models we hired off of Instagram
00:50:58Thank you very much
00:50:59Thank you
00:51:00Thank you
00:51:00To be honest I just asked them to fly me in
00:51:02So that those gentlemen would touch me
00:51:04Okay
00:51:05It's amazing to be here at the finale of Star Search
00:51:08We're going big
00:51:09I'm flying in
00:51:10We've got pyrotechnics
00:51:11But I'll be honest with you guys
00:51:13It was not always like this for me
00:51:15One time I did a one man show to one man
00:51:20I was in a really tiny venue
00:51:22And I could see that no audience was coming in
00:51:24And I thought okay
00:51:25I won't do the show today
00:51:26And just as I walked out on the stage to make that decision
00:51:29One man walked through the door holding two beers
00:51:32And he sat down directly in front of me in the first row
00:51:36And then the lights started to go down
00:51:38Signaling the beginning of an hour long show
00:51:40That I had to do to one man
00:51:43And right before it went to total blackout
00:51:45He just leaned forward and whispered
00:51:47Don't worry
00:51:48It's only me
00:51:52So this is way better than that
00:51:54I'm also very happy
00:51:55Because I have my amazingly supportive husband here in the audience
00:52:02Although I still find it so weird saying the word husband
00:52:06It feels too grown up
00:52:07But he loves it
00:52:08He thinks it's very sophisticated
00:52:10The night before we got married
00:52:11He was practicing in the kitchen
00:52:13He was like
00:52:13This is my wife
00:52:14Can I introduce you to my wife?
00:52:17And he said
00:52:17You try it Janine
00:52:18So I just went
00:52:19Hurry up
00:52:20My husband will be home soon
00:52:27We're also new parents
00:52:28Do we have any parents in tonight?
00:52:30Make some noise
00:52:31Yes
00:52:34I mean it's amazing but it is so hard
00:52:36And nobody tells you how hard it's going to be
00:52:38All my friends who had kids before me
00:52:40They all said the exact same thing
00:52:42They all just went
00:52:42You have to have a baby
00:52:44You will never know joy
00:52:45Like the joy you feel when you meet your child
00:52:48And now that we have a baby
00:52:50Who has not slept through the night in a year and a half
00:52:52All those same friends are like
00:52:53Yeah parenting sucks
00:52:56Have you ever noticed
00:52:57The only people who want you to have kids
00:52:59Are people who have kids?
00:53:00It's a pyramid scheme
00:53:03And grandparents are at the top
00:53:04The minute I turn 30
00:53:06It's like my parents were running a multi-level marketing scam
00:53:09They were like
00:53:10Can we talk to you about an amazing investment in your future?
00:53:13My mom wanted me to have a kid so bad
00:53:15She said
00:53:16I just want you to experience what I've experienced
00:53:18And the greatest thing I ever did in my life
00:53:21Was give birth to you and your brothers
00:53:22And then I had a baby
00:53:24And I was like
00:53:24Ma this is hard
00:53:25And she went
00:53:26I know
00:53:26Stop trash talking me to your therapist
00:53:31But I am very happy that I'm settled down now
00:53:33Because I mean
00:53:34I have dated a lot of jerks
00:53:36I once went out with a guy
00:53:38Who joked in front of all of our friends
00:53:40That my back hair gave him beard envy
00:53:43It's fine though
00:53:44I just told him I was actually completely hairless
00:53:47Before we met
00:53:48But then we slept together
00:53:49My body identified that I was the alpha
00:53:51And responded accordingly
00:53:54Thank you
00:53:57He was actually an actor
00:53:59But I'm not sure if you'd know him Sarah Michelle
00:54:01The best thing he's ever been in was me
00:54:08Listen
00:54:09My time is almost up
00:54:11But before I go
00:54:12I just want to say
00:54:12It has been such an amazing experience
00:54:15Being on a show with so many incredibly talented people
00:54:18And I know I joked at the start about flying in
00:54:20And pyrotechnics
00:54:22But the thing I love about stand-up comedy
00:54:24Is it's just one person standing on stage
00:54:26Making a group of strangers laugh
00:54:28And that to me is magic
00:54:31But this is Netflix
00:54:33And we're going big
00:54:34So maybe tonight
00:54:35The real magic
00:54:36Is magic
00:54:46Where'd I go?
00:54:47I disappeared
00:54:52Uh
00:54:54Janine I can
00:54:56I can still see your legs
00:54:57No no
00:54:58Those aren't my legs Anthony
00:55:04Are those your legs?
00:55:06No Anthony
00:55:07These are my legs
00:55:09Ah
00:55:11Thank you
00:55:12And that
00:55:13Is Daniel Day-Lewis
00:55:16Yes
00:55:17Those legs are actually his face
00:55:19Voting is now
00:55:20Open
00:55:21You can give Janine and her legs
00:55:24One to five stars
00:55:26Your vote
00:55:27And your vote alone
00:55:29Counts
00:55:33Speaking of legs
00:55:34Chrissy we're going to come to you
00:55:36That was
00:55:38Perfect ending
00:55:39It was so good
00:55:41I looked down for one second
00:55:42And I like almost missed it
00:55:43So I'm so glad I caught it
00:55:45I
00:55:45What I love so much about comedy
00:55:47Is
00:55:47You're so right
00:55:48You're up there
00:55:49You're alone
00:55:50It is quiet in here
00:55:51Like people are just waiting
00:55:53On every word you say
00:55:54And hanging on every word
00:55:56And yet
00:55:57You would
00:55:57You have no fear
00:55:59You're fearless
00:55:59Your cadence
00:56:00The way you speak
00:56:01The way you deliver a joke
00:56:02Is just
00:56:03It's beautiful
00:56:03It's so fun to watch
00:56:07I love you
00:56:07I was very afraid
00:56:09Being 45 feet in the air
00:56:10I'll tell you that
00:56:11That looked amazing by the way
00:56:13It's amazing
00:56:13Jelly Roll
00:56:14Yay
00:56:15Well you know I'm a fan
00:56:16I'm glad you got to meet Leanne
00:56:17I hope that was awesome
00:56:18She's a sweet soul
00:56:19It was unbelievable
00:56:20Thank you so much for having that up
00:56:21Thank you
00:56:21But here's
00:56:22I think
00:56:24What they said
00:56:25I want to double
00:56:25First of all you made these two girls blush
00:56:27And I've been with them five weeks
00:56:28That's not easy
00:56:28That is not an easy blush
00:56:31But
00:56:31What they said
00:56:32I want to double this down
00:56:33You do
00:56:34Everybody else has
00:56:36Fireworks
00:56:36Theatrics
00:56:37And I know you did it in your set
00:56:38To bring
00:56:38To address the obvious
00:56:40Right?
00:56:41But really
00:56:41What you've done here
00:56:43Has been to me
00:56:43The most challenging thing
00:56:45If we had to judge
00:56:46Based on who had to go
00:56:47The most uphill
00:56:48In this competition
00:56:49It's been you by a country mile girl
00:56:51And I'm so proud of you
00:56:53Thank you
00:56:56Sarah
00:56:56We were waiting for you
00:56:58I mean this show
00:56:59Was built on comedy
00:57:00When you go down the list
00:57:01Of the celebrities
00:57:02The comedians
00:57:02Are just incredible
00:57:04And I'm just so excited
00:57:05That you get to continue
00:57:06That legacy
00:57:07Because
00:57:07You're great
00:57:08We were waiting for you
00:57:12Well
00:57:13We'll get to Janine's
00:57:14Worldwide score shortly
00:57:16Or shortly
00:57:17First
00:57:18He's the mentalist magician
00:57:20Who's been blowing the minds
00:57:22Of the entire world
00:57:23Every week
00:57:24Always leaving us thinking
00:57:26How did he do that?
00:57:28Put your hands together
00:57:29For TJ Salta
00:57:34The finale
00:57:35Here we are
00:57:37I want to take us back
00:57:38To the first trick
00:57:39I ever learned
00:57:40It was actually from my grandfather
00:57:41And he used his wedding ring
00:57:43Much like you guys
00:57:44Are all ringed out tonight
00:57:45Can I borrow one of them, Jelly?
00:57:47Can I borrow?
00:57:48You'll get it back, I promise
00:57:49Pick it
00:57:50Very nice
00:57:50He said pick a ring, any ring
00:57:52Alright, great
00:57:53My grandfather would take the ring
00:57:55And he'd say, TJ watch
00:57:59As the ring
00:58:02Jumps from finger to finger
00:58:03And I was flabbergasted
00:58:05It looked cool
00:58:05Got you for a second
00:58:07Until he showed me
00:58:08That all it was
00:58:08Was switching your fingers
00:58:11And so something that simple
00:58:13Brought me so much joy
00:58:14I was hooked forever
00:58:16So tonight
00:58:17This is dedicated
00:58:18To my grandfather
00:58:20Rings are beautiful
00:58:21Because they represent
00:58:21A lifelong bond for us
00:58:23And I want to make one tonight
00:58:25You have a bunch of rings
00:58:27Can I see your hands?
00:58:29That looks expensive
00:58:30Can we borrow that?
00:58:32Can I get it back?
00:58:33Yes
00:58:34We'll get it back
00:58:36I know, right?
00:58:39Two solid pieces of metal
00:58:42Let this be a reminder of
00:58:44We may feel distant at times
00:58:46But
00:58:47When we come together
00:58:49We can overcome
00:58:51The impossible
00:58:56We're connected
00:58:57Don't worry
00:58:58They go back
00:58:59They go back
00:59:00They go back
00:59:01But this time
00:59:01In slow motion
00:59:08Thank you
00:59:20Thank you
00:59:24Pretty cool, right?
00:59:25You want to try it?
00:59:27Yeah, you can try it
00:59:28Chrissy, everybody
00:59:29Stand on up
00:59:30Yes, come on up here
00:59:34You'll stand next to me
00:59:35You have a bunch of rings
00:59:36You'll stand right here
00:59:38Right here?
00:59:39Which finger do you not?
00:59:40Pinkies up maybe
00:59:41We'll do pinkies up
00:59:42We'll do one pinky
00:59:43Yes
00:59:44The ring will go over your pinky
00:59:46Very fancy
00:59:48The handkerchief goes over
00:59:51The pinky
00:59:53Empty hands
00:59:54Make sure I get the right finger
00:59:57Yeah, help me
00:59:57Because I can't see
00:59:58Is this
01:00:01This one's your pinky?
01:00:02Yeah
01:00:02This one's the right one?
01:00:03It's the right ring?
01:00:05Yeah
01:00:05I think
01:00:06There we go
01:00:09I'm just getting terrified
01:00:15It's back
01:00:17You can take a seat
01:00:17What?
01:00:18Hold on, you take that back to him
01:00:19That's all his

01:00:27You know the deal
01:00:28I want you one finger up
01:00:30Whatever finger doesn't have a ring
01:00:31Or where it was
01:00:32It was your pointer, right?
01:00:34Take that cloth
01:00:35Okay
01:00:35Put it over that finger, yeah?
01:00:39Okay
01:00:39High into the air
01:00:41Here we go
01:00:43I am shaking
01:00:44You are trembling
01:00:45I'm totally trembling
01:00:46I was trembling already
01:00:47But now I'm like
01:00:49And I was scared, man
01:00:50It's in his mouth
01:00:55You can keep it
01:01:03Very slowly
01:01:07Show everybody
01:01:08Take off
01:01:09That handkerchief
01:01:10No
01:01:11No

01:01:14Not there?
01:01:15You serious?
01:01:16Wait, wait, hold on
01:01:17Are you messing with me?
01:01:19No
01:01:20Did I do the trick wrong?
01:01:21I said it would fly
01:01:23I didn't say it would fly to your hand
01:01:25I'm just gonna move it out
01:01:27He's gonna move it out
01:01:28What? No!
01:01:37Oh!
01:01:39What?
01:01:40What?
01:01:43What?
01:01:43What?
01:01:43What?
01:01:44This is Messiah, everybody.
01:01:47Does that look...
01:01:53Sarah, can you confirm?
01:01:57Is that your...
01:01:59Seriously, is that your ring?
01:02:00This is my ring.
01:02:01It is.
01:02:03Messiah, show her some love.
01:02:07You killed it.
01:02:18I don't know how these things are done,
01:02:20but voting is now open.
01:02:22You have one minute to give TJ Saul to one to five stars.
01:02:29Five being the best.
01:02:31You always amaze me, brother.
01:02:36Sarah.
01:02:39You know, we have seen you week after week.
01:02:42You're a magician, you're a performer, you're a storyteller.
01:02:46You're ready.
01:02:47That's all I can say, right?
01:02:49I mean, it's your...
01:02:51Whether your tricks are right in front of my face...
01:02:55I mean, I must...
01:02:56I never rewatch anything I'm in,
01:02:58and last week, I went home,
01:02:59and I must have watched 20 times,
01:03:02trying to figure out how you were there,
01:03:04and then you were behind me.
01:03:05I have no idea.
01:03:07I still can't get it out of myself.
01:03:09Thank you so much.
01:03:11Chrissy.
01:03:12I also watched the crap out of last week's episode.
01:03:16I mean, I could not get over it,
01:03:17and I still couldn't figure it out.
01:03:18I mean, it does not get more close-up magic than that,
01:03:21and with our actual bodies,
01:03:23and none of us really know what to do with ourselves right now.
01:03:26Yes.
01:03:26We're all very confused,
01:03:27and I imagine that at home, even on camera,
01:03:29it looks just as miraculous,
01:03:31because you are a miracle worker.
01:03:35Jelly Roll.
01:03:37I didn't know what you were going to do for the finale.
01:03:43I expected it to be big because of how big everything's been,
01:03:47but I didn't expect it to be a bird.
01:03:49I didn't expect it to be a bird,
01:03:50and I think that...
01:03:52I want to say this again,
01:03:53because I've never been in on these gags at all,
01:03:57and that kind of pisses me off a little bit,
01:04:00that I'm so embarrassed.
01:04:03They're happy with it that we all get embarrassed like this every week,
01:04:05but I just don't understand what you do,
01:04:08and I guess I must admit, it's magic.
01:04:12Thank you, Jelly.
01:04:14That's why he's called a magician, Jelly Roll.

01:09:56Oh, okay, hold on. Let me come over here. This is live TV. I'm gonna come over here.
01:10:00Hey, Spud, being on Star Search, what has that meant to you?
01:10:04It's meant the world to me because sometimes I felt that my time had passed. I'm getting older.
01:10:10And so I felt that it was so much more important for me to raise up other people and great
01:10:15singers, and I didn't know that I still had time to do what I love to do. So it means
01:10:20the world.
01:10:21There's always time, brother. There's always time. TJ Salta, what has it meant to you?
01:10:28Oh my God, it's such an honor, especially to have been here since day one, just to share my passion
01:10:34five times with you guys and have the support and just bring happiness through the world. That is why I
01:10:41believe I was put here. I'm just grateful. I'm just grateful.
