One of the younger contestants on "America's Got Talent" has got jokes! Lori Mae Hernandez made headlines and became a trending topic on the Internet this week after her audition on the show made everyone crack up, including the four judges.
Hernandez, a 13-year-old girl from Lancaster, Calif., claimed she has been doing comedy for the past three years. The reasons she began to make jokes at 10 years old is to make her dad laugh and smile. According to the teen, her father suffers from Bell's Palsy, a sudden weakness in the muscles on one half of the face.
Looking confident and adorable, Hernandez owned the stage with her stand-up comedy routine in the hopes to make it on the renowned reality show.
"America’s Got Talent," this is amazing. I wouldn’t have missed this for the world. I even turned down a really big job to be here. Yeah, have you ever seen Disney Channel? Well, I was gonna babysit two little girls that really like Disney Channel.
Let’s talk about that for a minute. I am not a high school graduate. I haven’t even been to high school. I don’t have a driver’s license. I can’t even sit in the front seat. I’m still on safety scissors, people!
But you are going to leave your beloved child, the one that is carrying on your name to the next generation, with me?! My only qualification to be a babysitter is that I used to be a baby. That’s crazy.
That’s like saying, "Hey, you’re sick a lot. Ya wanna be my doctor?" "Weren’t you the host of a reality show? Ya wanna be president of the United States?” Thank you everybody!
Hernandez kept the crowd and judges entertained, especially comedian and judge Howie Mandel, who at one point is heard praising the teen girl's jokes with: "That's funny!" It was not until the Donald Trump zinger that both Mandel and Heidi Klum gave the young girl a standing ovation. The audience also enjoyed her one-liner about the GOP candidate.
The judges then congratulated Hernandez for her awesome confidence and for writing her own material. Simon Cowell even declared her the next Tina Fey. “You know what, Lori? There’s something about you. You’re really, really funny. Naughty Little Miss Innocent there… You can be maybe the next Tina Fey or someone," he said. Check out the entire clip below!
Lori Mae Hernandez will have you laughing for all the right reasons.
