TORONTO, April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Key moments from tonight’s episode of Canada’s Got Talent, include:

• The STUDIO 26 DANCERS (Halifax, NS) lit up the stage with energetic, impressive dance moves that had the crowd roaring!
• 15-year-old singer KYRA DANIEL (Kingston, ON) received a standing ovation for her powerful and deeply personal cover of “Black Like Me” by Mickey Guyton. Kardinal Offishall was personally moved by the performance, saying, “it felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.”
• Katherine Ryan hit her first-ever Golden Buzzer for comedian DARREN LEO (Toronto, ON). His stand-up performance poking fun at Asian stereotypes had the crowd and judges bursting with laughter.
• BEN KAHAN (Toronto, ON) invited Howie on stage to put artificial intelligence to the test with a bold magic act that left everyone in absolute awe.
• YAMA LAURENT (Lévis, QC) showed off her amazing voice during a beautiful cover of “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” by James Brown.
  

Rogers is once again providing the winner of Canada’s Got Talent with a life-changing prize of $1M (plus $50 from Howie Mandel) – the biggest cash prize in Canadian television history, plus financial advice from CIBC. And that’s not all! Every Golden Buzzer recipient will receive $25,000 (totaling $150,000), courtesy of CIBC, to help realize their ambitions.
