Eagles' Jon Dorenbos gets sentimental on 'America's Got Talent' finale

The Eagles locker room made a cameo on America's Got Talent as Jon Dorenbos performed his final trick during the NBC talent show's finale. Dorenbos was the penultimate performer of the night, perhaps signaling producers' faith in the Eagles long snapper. The final performer, 12-year-old Grace VanderWaal is favored to win.

"This is the Super Bowl. I have to treat this like the biggest game of my career," Dorenbos said in the opening vignette shot in the Eagles locker room.

Dorenbos tugged on the heartstrings of AGT's audience — unlike his previous lighter, more showy performances — by doing a trick that reflected Dorenbos' tragic history: When he was a child, Dorenbos' father killed his mother.
