and twisting them, pulling “AGT” host Nick Cannon and Byers’ fiance on a cart by a hook through his nose, and on Tuesday, laying down on a bed of nails while his brother drove an ATV over a track set on Byers’ chest.

“There’s a million dollars and stuff involved, but it’s more for the recognition,” said the University of Idaho Campus Surplus division worker before his Tuesday performance the last of his “AGT” experience. “I’ve been working at this for almost 40 years. I’ve got a lot of guilt, sweat and tears,” he said.

Byers was one of seven contestants who received the lowest home viewer vote totals.
