TV

Another non-singing act wins the competition this season as Stern signs off from the show after serving as judge for four seasons.

AceShowbiz - "America's Got Talent" season 10 finale on Wednesday, September 16 witnessed a victory and a farewell. Before the winner was revealed, Howard Stern said goodbye to the show in a pre-recorded video.

"Four years ago when I started on 'AGT', my thought was it would be really cool to be a judge, because I think I have something to offer," he says. "If I had any dream about this was that that I could take someone who was struggling and seriously give advice. I was told over and over again that I had no talent. I was in college radio. No one was banking on me."

In the clip that also shows his love to New York, the shock jock said, "New York is just kinda who I am." He added, "I felt really fortunate that I could be the guy responsible for bringing the show to New York."

He went on noting that the show helped him gain a new set of fans. "I'll go to a restaurant and parents will bring over their 10-year-olds to sit on my lap to take a picture," he shared, "I'm like, 'Oh my god.' It's kinda funny to me because this never happened to me in my career."

"I've had such incredible moments on this show. I really have... It has been phenomenal," he concluded.

Meanwhile, the finalists got to perform with famous acts in the fields. The CraigLewis Band sang Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" with Yolanda Adams. The magicians including Derek Hughes, Oz Pearlman, Piff the Magic Dragon and Mat Franco performed with Penn & Teller. The duo later joined "The Professional Regurgitator" Stevie Starr onstage to help bring out the fish he swallowed during his act.

Uzeyer Novruzov teamed up with Freelusion for a fun performance that included a silent film and dancing. Drew Lynch and Gary Vider roasted each other, joined by roastmaster Jeffrey Ross. Benton Blount was paired with Rachel Platten for a duet of "Fight Song", while Terry Fator joined Paul Zerdin for some dueling ventriloquism.

Next, the Top 5 were revealed and they were Oz, Drew, Stevie, The CraigLewis Band and Paul. Toward the end of the show, the ventriloquist Paul was declared as the winner. He took home $1 million and an opportunity to perform in Las Vegas.

Drew, who earned a standing ovation on the first part of the finale, was the runner-up. Oz finished in the third place, Stevie placed fourth and The CraigLewis Band was in the fifth place.
