“America’s Got Talent” has named the winner for Season 19.
After 10 acts took the stage during the Sept. 17 final performances, audiences locked in their votes for their favorite act, which was revealed during Tuesday’s two-hour finale. At the end of the episode, singer Richard Goodall was crowned the winner of “America’s Got Talent” Season 19, taking home the $1 million prize and a new 2024 Kia EV9.
