Tom Sandoval’s return to TV is off to a solid start after the formerly disgraced reality TV star’s cover band, the Most Extras, competed on America’s Got Talent last night. Sandoval, whose infidelity on the show Vanderpump Rules spawned the ongoing ‘Scandoval’ saga (and several lawsuits), received praise after prancing around the stage vigorously in a green-sequined jacket, with golden make-up adorning his face. Former Spice Girl Mel B was the most enthusiastic after the band’s performance of A-Ha’s “Take on Me,” standing up as they finished and floating that the band could play her upcoming wedding. Sofia Vergara, who seemed to be the only judge unaware of the details of Scandoval, told the 42-year-old that he “looked amazing up there” and that he brought the judges joy. Not all of the judges were so sanguine on Sandoval’s musical potential, however. Simon Cowell said that “The vocals weren’t great, Tom. I’m gonna be honest with you.” Even so, Cowell joined the other three judges in unanimously sending the band into the next round of competition—where Sandoval will continue to try to put his past profligacy behind him.
