The Comedy Clash round continues with the best acts from the Open Mic round going head-to-head; the winner of each clash, as chosen by the judges, will advance to the Semi-Final Showcase.

The winners from the "Comedy Clash" round move on to face-off in the first Semi-Final Showcase. In this round, the first group of six of the twelve remaining acts perform but the judges will only be able to select two acts to move onto the finale and be one step closer to winning the $250,000 grand prize. Additionally, America will choose one eliminated semi-finalist to return to the competition, perform in the finale and still be in the running to become the first ever winner of "Bring the Funny."
