Charles Peachock wants to expand on the exposure juggling received on 'America's Got Talent'
Kent juggler Charles Peachock is back in his beloved hometown after a life-changing two-month run on the hit NBC television show America’s Got Talent. Peachock, 35, was eliminated Wednesday from the summertime variety-act competition that garnered him worldwide exposure on six different occasions. AGT is hitting a rating high in its sixth year, attracting an audience of more than 10 million U.S. viewers weekly. “I didn’t realize how (being on AGT) was going to affect me emotionally – how much I was going to grow and how much I could push myself,” Peachock said. “Seeing that I could handle the whole experience made me realize what my capacity for creation really is.” The award-winning juggler had less than a week to prepare a new routine …

Charles Peachock returns to the NBC reality show tonight for the wildcard round
Charles Peachock's shot at $1 million and a headlining act in Las Vegas will find new life tonight as he returns to NBC's America's Got Talent. The Kent juggler was voted off the show earlier this month by judges Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel in what was supposed to be a week where viewers decided who stayed and who left. But the show's third judge, Piers Morgan, promised Peachock he would get his vote to return to this week's wildcard round. So Peachock will return to the stage in Hollywood tonight at 9 p.m. EST.
