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
00:03:16Some day, there's some plastic you are wrong
00:03:20In all the right ways of my underdogs
00:03:24All right!
00:03:27Jelly 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 reins over to the viewers?
00:03:42Relief! We are relieved!
00:03:43I'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.
00:03:53Richard! Don't mess it up, y'all! Don't mess it up, baby!
00:03:57All right, here's how it's going down tonight
00:04:00Our 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
00:04:11And then you at home, watching live around the globe
00:04:14Will vote for one of those four acts
00:04:17And crown them the Star Search Grand Champion
00:04:21And the winner of half a million dollars
00:04:27So, it's gonna be a big night for the acts performing
00:04:30And for you at home
00:04:32Now, world, are you ready to choose a star?
00:04:37Hmm?
00:04:41First up tonight, he's the magician we can't take our eyes off of
00:04:46And she possesses the voice that moves us
00:04:49It's Madison Lauren versus Harry Merlin Piper
00:04:56Harry, you are still the Junior Variety Champion
00:05:00That's four weeks in a row
00:05:03Madison Lauren, you are the new Junior Music Champion
00:05:07You 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 are a star, baby
00:05:23You'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
00:05:31Hi, Maddie
00:05:32So, this is the moment
00:05:35Having this much support really means the whole entire world to me
00:05:40When you were little, you used to say
00:05:43Lola, I want to make people happy when I sing
00:05:46And now, it happened
00:05:49I love them so much
00:05:51They've been always there for me
00:05:53And I just hope that my family is gonna be proud
00:05:57To be able to share this journey with my dad
00:05:59It's just been one of the best experiences of my life
00:06:01You could win this
00:06:02Never thought I'd see the day, mate
00:06:04You're 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
00:06:12And 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
00:06:20Is confidence
00:06:21Because I've watched Harry this whole time
00:06:24And I think he's amazing
00:06:25And I think he's amazing
00:06:26So, I need to give it everything I've got
00:06:30I've never thought I would get this far to the finale
00:06:34Go out there and smash it
00:06:36I mean, Madison is an incredible singer
00:06:37But this performance, it can change my life
00:06:40And I'm ready for this
00:06:42My first performance, I was very scared
00:06:44But tonight, I will sing my heart out
00:06:47No fear
00:06:48No fear at all
00:06:49I'm for you
00:06:56Last week, her voice captivated the masses
00:06:58And she's here tonight to compete for the title
00:07:01Ladies and gentlemen, 11-year-old Madison Lawrence
00:07:13I keep fighting voices in my mind
00:07:18That say I'm not enough
00:07:27Every single lie that tells me
00:07:30I will never measure up
00:07:40Am I more than just the sum of every height and every low?
00:07:52Remind me once again just who I am
00:07:57Because I need to know
00:08:03You say I am loved
00:08:07When I can't feel a thing
00:08:11You say I am strong
00:08:14When I think I am weak
00:08:16And you say I am held
00:08:20When I am falling short
00:08:22And when I don't belong
00:08:26Oh, you say I am yours
00:08:31Taking all I have
00:08:34And now I'm leaning
00:08:36At your feet
00:08:40Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:08:43And you say I am loved
00:08:49And you say I am loved
00:08:58When I am falling short
00:09:02And when I don't belong
00:09:05Oh, you say I am yours
00:09:08And I believe
00:09:11Oh, you say I am
00:09:19I believe
00:09:21Oh, I believe
00:09:27Oh, I believe
00:09:42Now that is how you start a finale.
00:09:46Voting is now open.
00:09:47Use your remote to give Madison one to five stars, five being the best.
00:09:52Remember, it's all up to you at home tonight.
00:09:54Judges, remember, you don't get to vote tonight.
00:09:57But we do want to know what you think of Madison's performance.
00:10:01Jelly Roll, we're going to start with you.
00:10:03Oh, man, I just, I didn't realize how nervous I was going to be
00:10:06and how big the finale was going to feel until she started singing.
00:10:10And right then I was like, this is such a big moment, and you killed it.
00:10:13You froze to the occasion.
00:10:15So proud of you.
00:10:16Thank you so much.
00:10:18You know, I will say this.
00:10:19I 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
00:10:25and telling your little story through the lens of your life
00:10:27and playing instruments and just keep singing, girl.
00:10:29The sky's the limit for you, maybe even beyond.
00:10:34Sarah, to you.
00:10:36You know, I'm sad we only got two weeks with you
00:10:38because just even from week one to week two, there was an improvement.
00:10:42And you were right, you came out less nervous.
00:10:44And your voice is so beautiful.
00:10:46It's so mature beyond your years.
00:10:48And I'm just with Jelly.
00:10:49I can't wait to watch you grow and grow
00:10:51and become the superstar that you are inevitably going to be.
00:10:54Yeah.
00:10:54I can't wait to see you.
00:10:58Chrissy?
00:10:59I mean, such an inspirational and beautiful song choice.
00:11:03Your 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
00:11:12for somebody as little as you to hit.
00:11:14And you did it.
00:11:14And it was so beautiful.
00:11:15Well, I'm so emotional tonight because it's our last episode.
00:11:18But, wow, I'm so glad 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.
00:11:34And 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.
00:12:00He said tonight was my night.
00:12:03For that reason, I turn one card around in this deck
00:12:05and no one knows what it is.
00:12:07Chrissy, I want you to name a color for me, red 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 one last time.
00:12:19What do you want, hearts 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, don't get scared, but it's your time.
00:12:29I'll give you a clue.
00:12:30It's not a picture card.
00:12:30It's a number card.
00:12:32What 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, Sarah, 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, but we'll give it.
00:12:47We'll give it.
00:12:47It's magic.
00:12:48No.
00:12:48The three of diamonds.
00:12:50Because inside this deck, there's one.
00:12:54And just one card turn around right at the start.
00:13:05Only one.
00:13:07The three of diamonds.
00:13:13See, Star Search for me has been a dream come true.
00:13:16Performing on stage in front of the judges, the crew, all 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, I've bought this keepsake box where I hold my memories nice and tight of the show.
00:13:31Sarah, when you became Sarah the Magnificent and you showed your magical powers and you chose the ten of clubs.
00:13:38Jelly Roll, you faced your fear.
00:13:40And Chrissy as well, with three separate stars, we found the two of spades.
00:13:45Aw.
00:13:46Come here.
00:13:47Come here.
00:13:47Come here.
00:13:49I'm sorry.
00:13:50It's a journey we've shared together.
00:13:53Jelly Roll, you faced your fear.
00:13:55Star of Magic and you chose the seven of diamonds.
00:13:57You made it fly.
00:13:59And not only that, we made it snow for all the kids here in Hollywood.
00:14:04This has been one of the best moments of my life.
00:14:06But sadly, tonight's Star Search comes to an end.
00:14:10So it's time for these memories to disappear.
00:14:22Thank you, Star Search.
00:14:24But wait, there's one more thing.
00:14:26Because tonight we had one magical word.
00:14:28And that was...
00:14:30slay.
00:14:31What?
00:14:40But tonight, I want to finish with one final memory.
00:14:44Little me on my little motorbike.
00:14:47Following my dreams, like every other person can do in this world.
00:14:50Because tonight it's time jelly roll for the final bait and switch
00:15:08Tonight I'm gonna show you something that you've never seen before so whatever you do don't blink and watch
00:15:15closely
00:15:16Are you ready for this?

00:21:52It's the first time you've used a blindfold.
00:21:54Oh, yes!

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.
00:30:11You'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 it 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!
00:30:36Simply...
00:30:37And 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.
00:31:12And I hope, if nothing else, one, 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
00:31:25that they are down one 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.
00:31:36So, Duo 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.
00:32:09Duo Vespertilio, the viewers around the globe, gave you.
00:32:173.95 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.
00:32:413.64 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.
00:33:31I would hug you because I'm such a huge fan, but I got to 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.
00:33:49And 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.
00:34:01This is our dream.
00:34:03And we're not leaving without a win.
00:34:06I've been doing this my entire life.
00:34:09And 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 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.
00:34:46No 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. I know mom is looking down and she's real proud of you too.
00:35:32My mom would be so happy right now. Mom, I want to just thank you. I love you and I'm
00:35:39gonna make you proud.
00:35:42Spud is vocal powerhouse.
00:35:44Spud, 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. Y'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
00:36:27And the night, the night is yours alone
00:36:36When you're sure you've had enough in this life
00:36:45Hang on

00:39:26That was, that was, listen, you got, wow.
00:39:31Wow, man.
00:39:32Just, I don't, there is a, there is a richness in your voice.
00:39:38It's like a, it's like a waterfall, like a raging river rampage.
00:39:42It's got this, and it's almost as if it's effortless for you to sing it.
00:39:46It's that the emotions coming from the soul, the voice is just God given.
00:39:50And you can tell that you 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, if you ever want to come on a jelly roll tour, you can.
00:40:09All right.
00:40:11All right.
00:40:14Sarah, before, we're going to 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.
00:40:37So, here for it.
00:40:39I can't wait to watch you on tour with Kelly.
00:40:42Yes, yes, yeah.
00:40:43Chrissy.
00:40:44I mean, you are such an old soul.
00:40:46Your voice, the rasp to it, that it just feels like it has this beautiful, like, it's like this warm,
00:40:53delicious pudding voice with this grit to it.
00:40:56Only you would turn it into a baking project.
00:40:59I know.
00:40:59I'm a baker.
00:41:00Okay, that'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 and also you turn these pop songs into, like, these beautiful soul
00:41:10moments.
00:41:10It's incredible.
00:41:13Everything you've seen whenever you come on the show, you make it soulful.
00:41:17You just came in last week and you're here in the finale.
00:41:19How are you feeling tonight, Spud?
00:41:22I just know that everything happens for a reason.
00:41:24And it may not always happen in the timing that you think that it should or it could.
00:41:28But if you just wait and stand and don't move, wait your turn, it will come.
00:41:34All right.
00:41:35Well, Spud's worldwide score will be revealed in a bit, but now they are a trio whose harmonies have filled
00:41:43our hearts with joy.
00:41:44Make some noise.
00:41:46Horizon.
00:41:47Horizon.
00:41:57Get out right now.
00:42:00It's the end of you and me.
00:42:02It's too late and I can't wait for you to be gone.
00:42:08I've been waiting all day for you, babe.
00:42:12So won't you come and sit and talk to me?
00:42:15And tell me how we're gonna be together always.
00:42:20Hope you know that when it's late at night, hold on to my pillow tight.
00:42:25And think of how you promised me forever.
00:42:29I never thought that anyone could make me feel this way.
00:42:35No one.
00:42:35Now that you're here, boy, all I want is just a chance to say.
00:42:41Yeah, right now it's the end of you and me.
00:42:46It's too late and I can't wait for you to be gone.
00:42:51Cause I know about her and I wonder how I bought all the lies.
00:42:57You said that you would treat me right, but you was just a waste of time.
00:43:03I wanted you back here with me.
00:43:06I had no choice.
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.
00:43:17Or something that just wouldn't last.
00:43:20I refuse to cry.
00:43:22No tears will fall for these eyes.
00:43:35Get out.
00:43:39Get out.
00:43:42It's too late and I can't wait for you to be gone.
00:43:46I know about her and I wonder how I bought all the lies.
00:43:53You said you'd treat me right, but you was just a waste of time.
00:44:01Get out.
00:44:09Get out.
00:44:11Get out.
00:44:11I know.
00:44:12It's the end of you and me.
00:44:14It's too late and I can't wait for you to be gone.
00:44:27The voting is now open worldwide.
00:44:29You have one minute to vote and give Horizon one to five stars.
00:44:33Your vote matters.
00:44:35Horizon, come on over here and join me center stage.
00:44:38This must be the live finale because we went from buff background singers to buff dancers.
00:44:44All right, Sarah, we're going to go to you.
00:44:46I can't wait for the Horizon tour.
00:44:48I'm usually, I never do this, but I will be in the pit.
00:44:52I will be dancing during the break.
00:44:54I will be singing and I am, I'm ready to cheer you guys on.
00:44:57I just, I'm excited.
00:45:00Jelly roll.
00:45:01You know what, I think, first of all, I was just thinking, man, y'all have been with us
00:45:04the last five weeks.
00:45:05It has been such a fun run with y'all.
00:45:08I just want to say, I'm so glad that I've got to witness y'all's presence, y'all's energy,
00:45:12y'all's spirit every week.
00:45:14We've loved it backstage.
00:45:15And what I can't wait to see is no matter what happens tonight is what y'all leave here
00:45:19and do and how y'all find identity and horizon.
00:45:22I'm tired of hearing y'all sing everybody else's songs.
00:45:25I want to start hearing Horizon songs.
00:45:27After this, you don't sing nobody else's song but your own.
00:45:31Here I am.
00:45:34Chrissy.
00:45:35You guys, I agree.
00:45:36You guys have been such a treat to watch.
00:45:38I think a lot of people watch this show live, obviously, and they see you perform, but for
00:45:41five weeks now, you guys have been in rehearsals.
00:45:43You've been picking your wardrobe.
00:45:45You've been, and you've been like so kind and gracious and wonderful along the whole way.
00:45:49And I'm so proud that we brought you to the stage five weeks ago, and now I just, you're
00:45:55like my little babies.
00:45:56Fly away.
00:45:56Fly away, little babies.
00:45:58You know, it must feel good having your moms here all the way from Sydney, Australia, supporting
00:46:04you.
00:46:06And actually, it feels good to see these amazing friends and family of all of our acts here
00:46:11tonight.
00:46:13Spud Howard, please come join me on the stage.
00:46:18It's our music group champion against the music solo champion.
00:46:24Only one can move on.
00:46:26Will it be Horizon or Spud Howard?
00:46:29The worldwide results are in.
00:46:34Spud Howard, the viewers around the globe gave you 3.98 stars.
00:46:48That is the score to beat.
00:46:53What's Horizon's final score?
00:46:55Are they in the top four?
00:46:57Horizon, the viewers around the world gave you 3.7 star, which means Spud Howard, you are
00:47:13in the top four.
00:47:23Horizon, you ladies are undoubtedly going to go far, bust of luck to you, and I can't
00:47:29wait to sit in this arena to hear you sing your own stars, your own songs.
00:47:34Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Horizon.
00:47:43Spud, congratulations.
00:47:44The world has voted you into the top four.
00:47:47We will see you again later when the live worldwide viewers pick up the star search and pick a grand
00:47:56champion.
00:47:57Show your love for Spud Howard.
00:48:01You got it, brother.
00:48:04And now, we come to our last head-to-head of the night.
00:48:10His magic is inconceivable.
00:48:13Her comedy is incredible.
00:48:16Now they go head-to-head.
00:48:18It's Janine Haroni versus TJ Salter.
00:48:24This is a lifelong dream that is so close to coming true, and I'm ready to take it home.
00:48:31I was performing in basements of pizza restaurants, so to be here now on the biggest stage I've
00:48:37ever performed in my life feels pretty good.
00:48:40I've been here since day one.
00:48:42I fought challenger after challenger after challenger.
00:48:46TJ Salter, champion of parade.
00:48:50I feel like my whole life has led up to this moment, and 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, the best of luck and success, and thank you.
00:49:07My grandfather was the first one to show me a magic trick, and so having that come from
00:49:12him is like a huge full circle moment.
00:49:16We didn't have a baby.
00:49:18I had the baby.
00:49:19I'm a god.
00:49:19My husband is an ingredient.
00:49:22Star Search has already changed my life.
00:49:24Last week, Jelly said that I reminded him of Leanne Morgan.
00:49:28Can you remind me of, like, the yin to her yang?
00:49:30She reached out to me and said that she wanted to meet me.
00:49:34I went and saw the taping of Leanne's sitcom, and I got to meet her afterwards and tell her
00:49:38how much I loved her, and I probably embarrassed myself, but that's fine.
00:49:42I love you too, honey.
00:49:47I love you too.
00:49:48I love you too.
00:49:49We'll see you soon.
00:49:50We miss you.
00:49:51We love 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, but it's something I've never done.
00:50:07I'm not going to let magic stand in the way of me getting half a million dollars, because
00:50:12magic 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.
00:50:28Competing for a chance to win a half million dollars.
00:50:31Make some noise for Janine Aroni.
00:50:37Yes.
00:50:39All 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 harness's baby.
00:50:48All right.
00:50:49Give it up for our amazing stage managers, Denzel and John Victor, who are definitely stage managers
00:50:56and not models we hired off of Instagram.
00:50:58Thank you very much.
00:50:59Oh, thank you.
00:51:01To be honest, I just asked them to fly me in so that those gentlemen would tell me.
00:51:04Don't touch me.
00:51:04Okay.
00:51:05It's amazing to be here at the finale of Star Search.
00:51:09We'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, and I could see that no audience was coming in.
00:51:24And I thought, okay, I won't do the show today.
00:51:26And just as I walked out on the stage to make that decision, one man walked through the door
00:51:31holding two beers, and he sat down directly in front of me in the first row.
00:51:35And then the lights started to go down, signaling the beginning of an hour-long show that I had
00:51:41to do to one man.
00:51:43And right before it went to total blackout, he just leaned forward and whispered,
00:51:47don't worry, it's only me.
00:51:52So this is way better than that.
00:51:54I'm also very happy because 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, he was practicing in the kitchen.
00:52:12He was like, this is my wife.
00:52:15Can I introduce you to my wife?
00:52:17And he said, you try it, Janine.
00:52:18So I just went, hurry up.
00:52:20My husband will be home soon.
00:52:27We're also new parents.
00:52:29Do 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.
00:52:39All my friends who had kids before me, they all said the exact same thing.
00:52:42They all just went, you have to have a baby.
00:52:44You will never know joy like the joy you feel when you meet your child.
00:52:48And now that we have a baby who has not slept through the night in a year and a half,
00:52:52all those same friends are like, yeah, parenting sucks.
00:52:56Have you ever noticed the only people who want you to have kids are people who have kids?
00:53:00It's a pyramid scheme.
00:53:03And grandparents are at the top.
00:53:05The minute I turn 30, it's like my parents were running a multi-level marketing scam.
00:53:09They were like, can 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, I just want you to experience what I've experienced.
00:53:19And the greatest thing I ever did in my life was give birth to you and your brothers.
00:53:23And then I had a baby and I was like, ma, this is hard.
00:53:25And she went, I know.
00:53:27Stop trash talking me to your therapist.
00:53:31But I am very happy that I'm settled down now because, I mean, I have dated a lot of jerks.
00:53:36I once went out with a guy who joked in front of all of our friends that my back hair
00:53:41gave him beard envy.
00:53:43It's fine, though.
00:53:44I just told him I was actually completely hairless before we met, but then we slept together.
00:53:49My body identified that I was the alpha and responded accordingly.
00:53:57He was actually an actor, but I'm not sure if you'd know him, Sarah Michelle.
00:54:01The best thing he's ever been in was me.
00:54:09Listen, my time is almost up.
00:54:11But before I go, I just want to say it has been such an amazing experience being on a show
00:54:16with so many incredibly talented people.
00:54:18And I know I joked at the start about flying in and pyrotechnics.
00:54:21But the thing I love about stand-up comedy is it's just one person standing on stage, making a group
00:54:27of strangers laugh.
00:54:29And that, to me, is magic.
00:54:31But this is Netflix, and we're going big.
00:54:34So maybe tonight, the real magic is magic.
00:54:46Where'd I go?
00:54:47I disappeared.
00:54:52Uh, Janine, I can still see your legs.
00:54:57No, no, those aren't my legs, Anthony.
00:55:00No, no, no, no, no, Janine, I can see your legs.
00:55:03No, no, those aren't my legs, Anthony.
00:55:04Yeah, are those your legs?
00:55:06No, Anthony, these are my legs.
00:55:09Ah.
00:55:10Oh.
00:55:12And that is Daniel Day-Lewis.
00:55:16Voting is now.
00:55:17Yes, those legs are actually his face.
00:55:19Voting is now open.
00:55:21You can give Janine and her legs one to five stars.
00:55:26Your vote in your vote alone counts.
00:55:33Speaking of legs, Chrissy, we're going to come to you.
00:55:37That was a perfect ending.
00:55:39It was so good.
00:55:41I looked down for one second, and I almost missed it, so I'm so glad I caught it.
00:55:45I, what I love so much about comedy is you're so right.
00:55:49You're up there.
00:55:49You're alone.
00:55:50It is quiet in here.
00:55:51Like, people are just waiting on every word you say and hanging on every word, and yet
00:55:57you would, you have no fear.
00:55:59You're fearless.
00:56:00Your cadence, the way you speak, the way you deliver a joke is just, it's beautiful.
00:56:04It's so fun to watch.
00:56:07I love you.
00:56:08I was very afraid being 45 feet in the air, I'll tell you.
00:56:11That looked amazing, by the way.
00:56:13It looked amazing.
00:56:13Jelly roll.
00:56:15Yay.
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.
00:56:22But here's, I think, what they said, I want to double.
00:56:25First of all, you made these two girls blush, and I've been with them five weeks.
00:56:28That's not easy.
00:56:29That is not an easy blush.
00:56:31But what they said, I want to double this down.
00:56:34You do, everybody else has fireworks, theatrics, and I know you did it in your set to address
00:56:39the obvious, right?
00:56:41But really, what you've done here has been, to me, the most challenging thing.
00:56:45If we had to judge based on who had to go the most uphill in this competition, it's
00:56:49been you by a country mile, girl.
00:56:51And I'm so proud of you.
00:56:56Sarah?
00:56:56We were waiting for you.
00:56:58I mean, this show was built on comedy.
00:57:00When you go down the list of the celebrities, the comedians are just incredible.
00:57:04And I'm just so excited that you get to continue that legacy, because you're great.
00:57:08We were waiting for you.
00:57:12Well, we'll get to Janine's worldwide score shortly, or shortly.
00:57:18First, he's the mentalist magician who's been blowing the minds of the entire world every
00:57:23week, always leaving us thinking, how did he do that?
00:57:28Put your hands together for TJ Salta.
00:57:33The finale.
00:57:35Here we are.
00:57:37I want to take us back to the first trick I ever learned.
00:57:40It was actually from my grandfather, and he used his wedding ring, much 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.
00:57:51He said, pick a ring, any ring.
00:57:52All right, great.
00:57:53My grandfather would take the ring, and he'd say, TJ, watch as the ring jumps from finger
00:58:03to finger.
00:58:04And I was flabbergasted.
00:58:05It looked cool, got you for a second, until he showed me that all it was was switching
00:58:09your fingers.
00:58:11And so something that simple brought me so much joy, I was hooked forever.
00:58:16So tonight, this is dedicated to my grandfather.
00:58:20Rings are beautiful because they represent a lifelong bond for us.
00:58:23I 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, we may feel distant at times, but when we come together, we can
00:58:50overcome the impossible.
00:58:57Don't worry, they go back.
00:58:59They go back, but this time in slow motion.
00:59:14The next trick my grandfather showed me was to make the ring fly.
00:59:17It looks something like this.
00:59:23Pretty cool, right?
00:59:25You want to try it?
00:59:27Yeah, you can try it.
00:59:28Chrissy, everybody, stand on up.
00:59:30Yeah.
00:59:31That's enough.
00:59:33Yes, come on up here.
00:59:34You'll stand next to me.
00:59:35Yeah.
00:59:35Okay.
00:59:36You have a bunch of rings.
00:59:37You'll stand right here.
00:59:38Right here?
00:59:38Okay.
00:59:39You have a, which finger do you not, pinkies up maybe.
00:59:41We'll do pinkies up.
00:59:42We'll do one pinky.
00:59:43Yes.
00:59:44Okay.
00:59:44The ring will go over your pinky.
00:59:46Very fancy.
00:59:48The handkerchief goes over the pinky.
00:59:53Empty hands.
00:59:54Make sure I get the right finger.
00:59:57Here, help me because I can't see.
00:59:59Is this, this one's your pinky?
01:00:02Yeah.
01:00:02This one's the right one?
01:00:03It's the right ring?
01:00:04Yeah.
01:00:05Okay.
01:00:05I think.
01:00:07There we go.
01:00:10I was terrified.
01:00:15It's back.
01:00:16You can take a seat.
01:00:18What?
01:00:18Hold on.
01:00:18You take that back to him.
01:00:20That's all his.
01:00:21What the?
01:00:22Is this?
01:00:22We still have one more.
01:00:25This we really want to make fly.
01:00:27You know the deal.
01:00:29I want you one finger up whatever finger doesn't have a ring or where it was.
01:00:32It was your pointer, right?
01:00:33It was on his finger, yes.
01:00:34Take that cloth.
01:00:35Okay.
01:00:36Put it over that finger.
01:00:38Yeah?
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, but now I'm like.
01:00:49But now we're 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 that handkerchief.
01:01:11No.
01:01:13Whoa!
01:01:14It's not there?
01:01:15Are you serious?
01:01:17Wait, wait.
01:01:17Hold on.
01:01:18Are 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 going to move it out.
01:01:28What?
01:01:28No!
01:01:37Oh.
01:01:39Whoa.
01:01:40Whoa!
01:01:43This is Messiah, everybody.
01:01:47Does that look...
01:01:54Sarah, 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
01:02:23to 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.
01:02:43You're a performer.
01:02:45You'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...
01:02:55Well, I mean, I must...
01:02:56I never re-watch 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
01:03:03how 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 my head.
01:03:09Thank you so much.
01:03:11Chrissy.
01:03:12I also watched the crap
01:03:14out 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
01:03:19close-up magic than that,
01:03:21and with our actual bodies,
01:03:23and none of us really know
01:03:24what to do with ourselves right now.
01:03:26We're all very confused,
01:03:27and I imagine that at home,
01:03:29even on camera,
01:03:29it looks just as miraculous
01:03:31because you are a miracle worker.
01:03:36Jelly Roll.
01:03:37I didn't know what you were going to do
01:03:40for the finale.
01:03:43I expected it to be big
01:03:44because 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
01:03:52because I've never been in
01:03:55on these gags at all,
01:03:58and that kind of pisses me off
01:04:00a little bit that I'm so embarrassed.
01:04:02They're happy with it
01:04:03that we all get embarrassed
01:04:05like this every week,
01:04:05but I just don't understand
01:04:07what you do,
01:04:08and I guess I must admit
01:04:10it's magic.
01:04:12Thank you, Jelly.
01:04:14That's why he's called
01:04:16a magician.
01:04:17Jelly Roll.
