Utahns Tyce Nielsen and Mary Ellen Wolfe made the finals of “America’s Got Talent” in 2018, but they didn’t take home the title or the $1 million prize. Yet the trapeze artists/acrobats who perform as Duo Transcend turned out to be huge winners after all.
“It changed our lives,” Nielsen told The Salt Lake Tribune — first, in a way they had hoped, and then in a way doctors had told Nielsen to never expect.
The married couple almost decided not to audition for the NBC talent competition nearly two years ago.
“We had so many things that were getting in the way and kind of telling us not to go on the show,” said Nielsen.
