-This is so exciting.
"America's Got Talent: Champions Edition."
-Yes. -Very intense.
-It's the Olympics of talent.
I mean, what people don't know --
some people may know, but there's 190 iterations
of "Got Talent" all around the world.
There's like, South Africa, Germany, Norway,
and you know, you really don't have bragging rights
until you win America.
America is the one. We are the flagship.
So this is the Olympics of talent. Seriously.
-And you see some pretty intense stuff.
-Yeah. -Do you ever see an act
where you come home and then you just immediately
have to tell your entire family about what you've seen?
-Oh, my God. There was one --
this group, Duo Transcend.
And these guys were up 50 feet in the air
doing acrobatic moves on a trampoline --
blindfolded, by the way.
-The blindfolded part was insane.
-Blindfolded. But you gotta understand this.
This was what was insane -- it was his wife.
Now, first of all, I drop a co-worker, I'd be like,
"Oh, man, my bad." -Yeah.
-You know what I mean? "Man, go get better.
I'll talk to you later," right? -Yeah.
-Your wife, dude. If you drop your wife,
where do you go from there? -Yeah.
See, I was thinking about it a different way, which is
I'd be up there, and I'd be thinking back to the fight
we had two days ago. [ Laughter ]
And she's be like, "I got you, baby."
-I know! -"You just put that blindfold on
and jump, I got you." [ Laughter ]
-No! -I don't know
if she's going to have me. -Oh, no.
You're so right. You're so right.
-Every now and then I'll have family members give me
feedback on this show.
Do you have -- do your wife and kids give you feedback
on how you host your show?
-All the time. All the time.
They're like, "You're shouting too much. You're shouting."
But I -- but I have to say this, you know, my family --
we've been watching "AGT" for a long, long time.
And they always like everyone else.
You know what I mean? Like, I'm like,
"I'm finally on 'AGT!' It's me!"
They're like, "Yeah, you're all right."
And I fight to get that kind of validation from my family,
but this is the deal -- I'm very thankful because
they always keep it real, you know what I mean?
You're in a world of sycophants. -Oh, yes. As a family.
-You're in a world of people who are like,
"You're the best, Terry. You're so amazing."
And my wife is like, "Look, man, sit down.
Your breath is really bad right now."
And I'm like, "Oh, yeah. Oh, I do need something."
You know?
So I learn to enjoy the comments
and the criticism from people who love you.
That's very, very important. Only from people who love you.
-Yeah, and if they can give it in a loving way,
that is all the better. -It is good.
-Very exciting as well
that "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is coming back.
-Yes! Yes! [ Cheers and applause ]
-It just, you know -- you know, it really is --
the thing that people always say is going to happen
and so rarely does, this was a show that went away.
Fox said, "We had a great run, and thank you for everything,"
and then NBC picked it up and now it's going to end up,
at the very least, having three seasons on NBC.
-And then Fox went away.
-Yeah, and then Fox -- [ Cheers and applause ]
-No, I got to tell you this. You know what?
The big thing is that, first of all, you know,
you have to understand, when you create a character
on a TV show, it's a real person.
-Yeah. -It literally is a real,
living person.
And when they cancel your show, it's like a death.
I mean, it literally flatlined.
And we were all walking around like, oh, my God.
Like, they killed Terry Jeffords.
How could you do that? You know what I mean?
-Yeah, yeah. -That's literally what it was.
And we were saying our goodbyes. There was a mourning period.
And then the Internet and the people --
a hundred million comments
and texts and posts that were like, "What are you doing?"
-Yeah.
-And they brought us back to life.
And now, not only -- right before season seven,
we were already picked up for season eight.
This feels like not only did you come back to life,
but you've been given the keys to the city.
You know what I'm saying? -Sure.
-And it feels so great. Our fandom is amazing.
-I can't wait to see what you're doing in it.
That's just in a couple weeks.
And thank you so much for being here.
-This is great. Thank you. You are awesome.
-Always. Terry Crews.
