The following year, AGT asked Tom back to perform as a special guest star (along with Train) and then again to host “The Season 8 AGT Snapple Viewing Party.” In January 2019, Tom was again invited back to the AGT stage to perform against the best of the best performers from other years and around the world in “America’s Got Talent: The Champions.” In one of the most talked about sets of the competition, Tom received a STANDING OVATION from the adoring crowd.

Tom Cotter," The Howard Stern Show, Comics Unleashed, multiple appearance on CBS’ "The Late Late Show" and Celebrity Host of “Gotham Comedy Live” on AXS-TV. You can find Tom headlining all of America's most famous comedy clubs including: The Improv, The Comedy Cellar and The Gotham Comedy Club just to name a few.

So whether it be comedy, voice-overs, or acting, Tom Cotter gives it everything he's got. “If laughter is the best medicine, I yearn to be drugged."
