Interesting to note, this year Steel Panther went on America’s Got Talent (AGT) and had a successful audition. This was their performance where they performed their song “Eyes of A Panther” to the judges. I think they had their last performance on the show in August this year and were eliminated going to the Top 10 of season 18.
