Who is Jenna Bandy? Meet AGT Extreme contestant who was rejected by Simon Cowell

Guinness World Record holder Jenna Bandy showed up on stage in NBC’s America's Got Talent: Extreme with high hopes of breaking her own world record of 90 feet for the farthest female football throw into a target.

However, her act failed to impress the panel, and after failing for the sixth time, Simon Cowell hit his X, rejecting the social media sports content creator and squashing her hopes to make another record.

On the spinoff of the original AGT show, contestants from all over the country display mind-numbing stunts and extreme talents in the hopes of being crowned champion. The winner also takes away a $500,000 cash prize. Hosted by Terry Crews, celebrities Simon Cowell, Nikki Bella and Travis Pastrana judge the contestants on the show.
