The thirteenth episode of Season 4, and the sixtieth episode of America's Got Talent overall, aired on August 4, 2009. It was the first of four Quarterfinals performance episodes and took place in Hollywood. 12 acts performed for 5 spots in the Semifinals.
Wild Card[]
Simon Cowell, executive producer of the show, called the judges on their flight back to Los Angeles, stating that he was unhappy with some of the eliminations the judges made. Cowell revealed that there was just "too much talent" eliminated, and that he felt that a number of these acts should be given another chance. As a result, 2 acts were brought back as wildcards during each Quarterfinal round.
