‘AGT’ Fans Spot Tom Sandoval Backstage — Is the ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Joining the Show?

Tom Sandoval might be trading SUR drama for the AGT stage — and fans are spiraling with speculation.

In a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, eagle-eyed America’s Got Talent viewers spotted the Vanderpump Rules alum backstage during a recent episode. The sighting, which showed Sandoval casually chatting with crew members near the green room area, instantly lit up social media with questions: Why was he there? Is he auditioning? Is he joining the show in some new role?

So far, NBC and Sandoval himself have remained silent on the matter — no official announcements, no teases on his Instagram. But fans aren't buying the "just visiting" theory. Given his musical performances with Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, many are speculating he may have auditioned — or could even be appearing in a special celebrity segment later this season.

Others suspect a potential behind-the-scenes collaboration, citing Sandoval’s recent attempts to rebrand after the Scandoval fallout. Appearing on a mainstream family-friendly competition show like AGT could be a calculated step toward rehabbed public perception.

Whether it's a cameo, performance, or just a curious coincidence, the internet is watching closely — and with AGT’s tendency for surprise reveals, we may not have seen the last of Sandoval this season.

For now, all we can do is stay tuned… and keep our eyes on that backstage cam.
