Tom Sandoval Takes the Stage: A Vanderpump Villains Surprise on Americas Got Talent

After making waves on Vanderpump Rules and Traitors, reality TV star Tom Sandoval is about to take center stage in a whole new light. The reality TV personality is auditioning for America's Got Talent with his band Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras, and their performance will air on the upcoming episode of the NBC variety series on Tuesday, June 24.

Last week's episode gave a sneak peek of Sandoval sitting backstage, and the reality star also appeared in the teaser at the end of the episode, saying, "My name's Tom Sandoval. I was the most hated man in America. This is my chance to show who I am as a musician."

During his time on Vanderpump Rules, Sandoval had pursued a music career without much success to make it a full-time gig. But this week, he will be front and center rocking the AGT stage in an attempt to get four yeses from judges Simon Cowell, Mel B, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara.

However, there is a potential conflict of interest as Howie Mandel has a previous connection with Sandoval. On a 2023 episode of his podcast, Mandel revealed how the two met at a mutual friend's wedding. "The first time we met... Kimmie Bader, who works with me and has worked with me for years and years and years, she's a family friend, she's head of development for my production company. When she and her husband got married, the first time I met you was at their wedding," Mandel said to Sandoval. "Not only did I meet you, but you got on stage and performed."

Sandoval's band consists of drummer and co-founder of the band Jason Bader, Colin Deas on saxophone, Stephen Stephen on lead guitar, Mia Davitt on bass and vocals, Macrae Eckelberry on trumpet, Caspar Madaus plays rhythm guitar, Max Bergmanis on keyboard, and Maddi Fraser on backup vocals.

At this point in time, Sandoval is most famous for cheating on his longtime (and now ex) girlfriend Ariana Madix with their mutual friend Raquel Leviss. The 2023 affair blew up online and eventually became the famous "Scandoval" storyline on the most recent season of Vanderpump Rules.

America's Got Talent airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and streams the next day on Peacock. Don't miss this exclusive first look at Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras as they take the stage on America's Got Talent.
