'AGT: Extreme' Contestant Jonathan Goodwin Finally Released from Hospital, Months After On-Set Accident

Jonathan Goodwin, a stuntman who was injured on the set of America’s Got Talent: Extreme, has finally been released from the hospital.

The daredevil was hospitalized for the past four months after a stunt went wrong during his performance on the new show, which actually premieres TONIGHT on NBC. The taping happened back in mid-October 2021.

According to production sources, he was suspended 70 feet in the air in a straitjacket hanging by his feet from a wire, and two cars were suspended on either side of him. The stunt was for him to free himself and fall onto an air mattress to avoid the cars crushing him as they swung in the air.

However, something went wrong, and the cars smashed together, with the stuntman in between. The impact caused the cars to explode, erupting in fire, as Jonathan fell and hit his head. He was unresponsive after the crash, airlifted to a hospital and rushed into surgery.
