Funny Acts That Made The Judges CRY From LAUGHTER! | AGT 2024

I should tell you that I have six dogs, three cats, two sugar gliders, a serval cat, a Siberian lynx, 23 trained rats, two horses, and a donkey. I'm single. I've been, you know, doing some older women things, like trying to needlepoint and stuff like that. And I'm learning a lot with my friends at the library. But I have not figured out that internet. But I did learn a few things, like you should never start a Google search with the first two words, nine inches. No, that predictive text takes over. It didn't even know me and it decided what I was going to say next. And now I have seen things that I cannot unsee. It follows you around, ads change, and then like the other day on Facebook, there was this ad for an adult coloring book. Now listen, I'm an innocent person, and I like to color. So I clicked on it. You don't want to color that. I almost wasn't single anymore. How do you feel right now? A little overwhelmed. You're very, very likable, I have to say. And made us laugh. You were very, very funny. Thank you. It's your freshness. I love that you're not that experienced. You're genuine. You're authentic. You really are likable. I agree. And your material is your everyday life. You were so funny. I mean, I know you're nervous, but you felt at ease. And you felt like we know you from somewhere. You feel like a nice friend that you would have a great time. I really liked it. You know what? You're real. And that's what makes it so funny. I thought you were going to be really sweet. After all the animal stories, and then you talk about you know what. Corky, I'm going to kick this voting off with a yes. Thank you. Second yes. You just got yourself four yeses. That moment, I started getting calls, doing shows nonstop. I love you, man. So I promised myself if I ever win a Golden Buzzer, I am going to pick up the confetti from the stage and then ship a confetti to everybody that has helped me in my career. A piece of confetti to Alisa. To my friend Simba. To my mom. I am so grateful. To my grandpa. Thank you for always believing in me. It's Lenmo. Golden boy. He is now on the top of the world. The person that really inspired me to become a comedian I am today is my grandfather. I remember this particular day my grandfather was stressed on where he's going to get money to buy food. And then he turned on this small black and white TV and it was comedy. And he started laughing. So I fell in love with that. And I was like to myself, I want to make people feel the same way. To prepare for tonight's show, I've been doing shows all over America and I spoke to Preacher Lawson and Mike Winfield. Any advice for me? Don't lose. I want to be the first comedian to win America's Got Talent. The next letter I mail to my grandfather is going to have money in it. I'm so excited to be here. I got some good news for you. I just got my green card, everybody. I found myself becoming so American after that. Yeah. Yeah, like I even have an allergy now. Yeah, I now have a gluten allergy. It came with the green card, okay? They actually made me choose between a gluten allergy and anxiety. I was like, give me both, okay? They sound nice. Because where I come from, having an allergy is for the wealthy, okay? You know, yeah, it's a sign that you can afford it, okay? Yeah. I told my cousin I was allergic to gluten. He was like, congratulations. I'm so happy for you. Wow! He doesn't get it. I was like to my grandfather, Grandpa, I'm now allergic to gluten. My grandfather was like, I have always known that you are gay. I was like, wait, what? I'm not gay. My aunt was like, it's okay, Len Mao. Just know that in college, I was also a little bit gluten-free myself. It's your food. I think your food is too complicated for me. Because the other day, I bought chicken. On the box of the chicken, it was listed skinless, boneless, sliced, marinated, pre-cooked, microwave-ready chicken. How lazy are you, Americans? It's ridiculous. Because from eating chicken, it's a four-day operation. Yeah, because you have to catch it first, okay? And the chicken does not trust anyone. It's also because I'm like, this is why I'm skinny, because I've been catching my own chicken. Yeah, look at some of you Americans. I can tell none of you have ever caught your own chicken. I'm just saying. But I'm gonna leave you with this. You see, many people always ask me, is Len Mao your real name? Is Len Mao your real name? Yes, because Zimbabweans, we believe if you give your child a name, they will become what you named them. So my name is Len Mao. I love learning new things. My mother's name is Memory. She never forgets. Yeah, my father's name is Absinthe. I'm joking. His name is John, okay? Yeah, John Doe. I don't know him. Comedy is so joyful. Thank you. And relatable. And you are, you're so beautiful to look at. Thank you very much. I think people are gonna love you tonight because I loved you. Thank you. I love you too. Yeah, I think, honestly, you are one of the best contestants, acts, human beings, whatever you want to call it. There's something about you when you perform, which is we all feel that we really know you, you know? And the more that we see, the more... But, yeah, and that, I think, is your appeal. You're just a naturally funny person. Thank you. I think what you do is unique. It's memorable. And I think you've got a real career ahead of you. I don't want to just say it. It sounds like a cliche, but I really do believe that. Better than anybody. I know what I like and I know what the world is loving. They're loving you. You are so likable. You are so physical. And I want to understand, to be able to come from another country, a whole other culture, and touch the funny bone of everybody in a totally different country of every age is magic. And you, sir, are magic. Thank you. You really light up the stage. You made us all laugh. Thank you so much. You were fantastic. Bravo! Oh, my God. That was genius. Hard it is, but I really, really think that you deserve this. That was the most fun thing we've had all week! Thank you, Sofia. Thank you. Thank you, Jira. What we do looks like fun, but it matters to us because we want to make our family proud. Let me introduce my family. Here we go. My cat. Cute. My wife is a little embarrassed on my performance. She is very shy, but very cute. We met 20 years ago at school. I was studying engineering. And I was studying economics. But not fun! We started a duo and Schumacher was born. Since then, he's the best friend of my life. I thought we cannot get Gaugen-Berger, but we did! We always dreamed of being famous. That's why we are here. And now we want to win AGT! Today's performance, I am on top. No! Me! No! You are dumb! No! Look at the pride. Look at the look of pride on Sofia's face. We can't see you. Those are my people. I don't care what Simon says. I stand by you. I would give you another that was unique, fun. This is what AGT is all about. I've never seen an act like this. I love it! Simon, is this what AGT... No. It was... It was funny the first time. I thought it would evolve into something great. It didn't. Because I think anyone could do that. Heidi, you're laughing. Well, because it's so bad No! that it... You know what? They're missing the point. I think the message No, it's so bad that it's good. was friendship. I think you have to be a real friend to put your face in another man's centaur. That's true. Oh, they were chanting my name, bro. Hearing that chant, I could see my whole journey. From the first day I remember my grandfather gave me money for bus fare to travel from Chimanimani to the big city Harare to try out comedy. It was... It was horrible. Like, it was so bad a guy threw a chair on stage. But I went back to that same stage every single night. One day, I made one person laugh in the audience at the corner there. He was like, Ha! I was like, Yes! I learned I was never gonna let anything stop me from just achieving my dream. That's what I do. I learn more. When Zimbabweans give their kids names, we believe that if you give that child a name, they'll become the exact thing that you named them. I learned how to speak English through comedy. Watching Richard Pryor, you know, Eddie Murphy. Being on America's Got Talent, I've learned how to perform on a family show. Usually I perform in comedy clubs where there's no rules. This is a family show, so I learned how to make American families laugh. I've always wanted to be a global comedian. No matter who you are, where you come from, I've always wanted to make you laugh. My whole life, I've been learning different lessons. And I think tonight, I'm going to learn how to be a millionaire! Ha ha! I cannot wait! Here's Learn More Janassi! Oh, man! It's so nice to be back, man. First of all, I think moving to America was the best decision I've ever made in my life. Yeah! Honestly, man, I don't want to lie, though. It was scary at first. It was so scary, because as soon as I arrived at JFK Airport, they kept announcing, if you see anything suspicious, say something! Every second, if you see anything suspicious, say something! So now, I was walking around looking for something suspicious without realizing that I was now suspicious! I was like, hey! You look suspicious! I was like, you too! We should say something! They searched my bag. They took a bottle of lotion from my bag. They were like, sir, this is not allowed. What am I going to do with a bottle of lotion? Imagine being like, alright, everybody, get down! Down or else! Man, it was so scary, man, coming to America, far away from everybody that loves me, man. My grandparents, they love me. But here's the thing about African parents, they will never say I love you. It's actually taboo. Americans, you guys say it all the time. I love you! Then a kiss. And that is just to your dogs, okay? It's ridiculous, man. Africans, we show you how much we love you, you know, by doing things for you. My grandmother loves me so much, she always catches and prepares chicken for me all the time. Listen, my grandmother loves me that chickens panic when I show up in my village, okay? Every time I show up, she's like, I've never seen an old chicken crossing the road, okay? But it's so tough, man, coming to America because I'm trying to date in this country. It's tough. Honestly, because women just want to break up with me because of stupid things. Like the other day, I was dating this girl, she broke up with me because of my lazy eye. Yeah, she's like, Lenmore, I want you to look at me straight in my eyes and tell me how much you love me. I love you! Why are you looking over there? I'm like, baby, I swear my right eye was looking at you. And my left eye was looking for you, okay? Yeah, so she left because we didn't see eye to eye, if you know what I mean. That's what happened. Thank you very much. My name is Lenmore. I appreciate you guys. Comedians of all time since I've been here on AGT. I love you. Everybody loves you. Thank you so much. Love tonight. Thank you, yes. Howie! You know, first of all, you've been working really hard. I'm amazed by you. You deserve to be here. I would love to see a comedian win. Thank you. You said that the first time you went on stage you got that laugh. Yes. And laughter is like a drug. Yes. And tonight, you are our pharmacist. Yes. You are like a cartoon character come to life. You really am. And look at both of you. Thank you. And... Simon. You are brilliant. I mean, you're clever, you're smart, and you make fun of all the things we think are normal. And that's what makes you unique. Thank you. And there was a buzz in here before you even started. And I loved what you said in your film about families and comedy. It's so important. And I absolutely adore you. Not as an act. Just as an act. But as a person. You're such a nice person. Thank you.
